After that midweek away draw in Greece (which got unfairly panned in the media, I thought), I felt it was time to reassert my faith in, and love for, our team and club. This song seemed a natural way to do it. I ended up with too much material to cram in! And that is very unusual! That shot from Rosie that gutted the Gunners; Aaron and Ralphie, both fleet-footed runners; New White Hart Lane when the whole home crowd sings – These are a few of my favourite things! Style in the middle with slick Tony Marchi; Taking good care of Garth Crooks and BaldArchie; Chris Jones and Anderton out on the wings - These are a few of my favourite things! Strikers in twosomes, like Gilzean and Chivers; Ditchburn and Ramsey and Willis or Withers; That special magic that Gareth Bale brings - These are a few of my favourite things! CL Final That was real hell - Left me feeling sad - But then I remembered my favourite things And I didn't feel so bad! Penalty goals which are our Harry’s habit; True Spurs like Perryman and Gary Mabbutt; Assou-Ekotto’s collection of bling - These are a few of my favourite things! Cup Final slalom from our Ricky Villa; Thundering tackles from Roberts or Miller; Ossie or Blanchflower pulling the strings – These are a few of my favourite things! Thrill of a side-step from Cyril or Ledley; Powerful wingers like George Robb and Medley; Jennings’ and Ditchburn’s astonishing springs - These are a few of my favourite things! “Have a go, Hudd!” – Hear a loud thud! – Sometimes scored a goal! And when Ryan Mason had fractured his skull, We all saw that Spurs have soul. Gazza disrupting his room-mate Chris Waddle; Galvin receiving a through ball from Hoddle; Phil Beal and Ruddock defending like kings – These are a few of my favourite things! Watching Paul Walsh score away against Luton; Loving the style of Mackay or Chris Hughton; (Strange how selectively memory clings!) - These are a few of my favourite things! Cunning quick passes from young Dele Alli; Klinsmann or Lineker upping their tally; David Ginola’s extravagant flings - These are a few of my favourite things! Leicester’s PL – That was pure hell – Left a gaping hole! We’ll get our revenge when we beat them away – With Kane, Son and Alli goals! Prediction: Leicester 2 Spurs 3 Scorers: Kane, Son, Alli Cheers, Spurf! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rhymes I missed out on: Heung Min Son/Alfie Conn; Luka Modric/how he got rich; Martin Peters/can’t defeat us Bobby Smith, though/Jermain Défoe Younis Kaboul/ Berbatov cool tap-in from Greavesie/made it look easy -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other players I wanted to include John White Eddie Baily Mickey Hazard Justin Edinburgh Alan Mullery Mike England Teddy Sheringham Les Ferdinand Robbie Keane VDV --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
