Thank you, Rob. Perfect remembrance on every level. Growing up in Belfast, I was too young to have seen Danny play but my late father did, many times, and even though Dad was a Man United fan, would speak of him reverently. My own path to Spurs-dom came through another legend, since my Dad would take me to watch Northern Ireland many times and I was in awe of Pat Jennings. I never saw him play for Spurs, though, but I was blessed in the timing, worshipping him long before his transfer across North London in 1977. Robbie is old enough to understand that any club's history is still being written with each new season. We all have to believe there's Glory still to be found.
