REVIEW
Spurs were in the Second
Division of the Football League and Arthur Rowe was in his second season
as manager at White Hart Lane, but having only had a month and a bit of
the previous season, he had formulated his tactics to produce a style
that would sweep the nation.
Being the best supported club in the country with an average home gate of 54,111, it was easy to see why, when Rowe's "Push and Run" side played their football.
And they were soon into their stride, losing just once in their first 25 matches.
Rowe had added Alf Ramsey to his team, signing the defender from Southampton and using him as his reliable general on the pitch. With the Guernsey born striker Duquemin and the non-stop energy of Ron Burgess at half-back, the team passed the ball and moved in a physically demanding pattern, but it was one which the side thrived on.
They beat Sheffield United 7-0, with the Blades being one of the contenders for promotion.
Tottenham took the league title in April with six games to spare, but the result had not matched their flowing football, with a 0-0 draw against Hull City.
One of the merits of the team's play was that the goals did not just come from the forwards, with left winger Les Medley top scoring with18 and centre forward Len Duquemin netting 16 goals.
At the end of the season, Spurs provided four players for the England 1950 World Cup squad in Brazil - Bill Nicholson, Eddie Baily, Ted Ditchburn and Alf Ramsey - more than any other club.
.
At the end of the season, Spurs travelled to Germany and Belgium for a post season tour, where they beat Tennis-Borussia 2-0 on 18th May and Wacker Club 5-2 on 21st May. They also played Hannover on 14th May, Dortmund on 24th and Antwerp on 27th.
