Broke his leg, and then broke the same one again in his first match back yet still bounced back and didn't change as a player at all. It was either Mullery's or Greaves' autobiography that said he would spend days running up and down the terraces at White Hart Lane just to build the strength back up in his leg. Apparently after going down, his first instinct was to try and get up and go after the ball until he realised his foot was pointing in the wrong direction. Truly a different breed to what we have today.

I highly recommend The Glory Game by Hunter Davies. Some great stuff about him in that.

Even as a non Spurs fan, who wasn't even born in the year it covers I thought it was a very interesting read.

R.I.P. Dave your not allowed to make the sort of no nonsense tackles he made today. Pity really it was a great part of the game.

Quoted from Maringer
Before my time, but I hear that Franny Lee was notorious for 'winning' penalties by flinging himself to the ground dramatically whenever a defender got near him. No different to Ashley Young et al these days, really.


I'll never forget Franny Lee fighting with Norman Hunter - an infamous hard man at the time, and in my book the considerably smaller Lee won on points!!

Yes that was a good one, Keegan v Bremner was another,

You just don't see a good fight anymore.

I watched an old highlights show from the 70's on YouTube recently in which Jimmy Hill was talking about the scandalous number of bookings in the featured match. There were three.

I think the original break was in a European match against Man Utd. Changed the whole tie....

What a tremendous player Dave was a brilliant player indeed and one of the hardest players in the history of football.. Dave actually cost me my immediate move to Derby County. Town as a team went over to Derby play a indoor match which was going to finalise my expected move to Derby.
There was no Brian Clough at the game he had gone to Spurs to sign Dave McKay in london, I got told that he signed him to help me to get the ball in midfield.
Can you imagine that, playing with Dave Mc Kay in midfield. But it was not meant to be Town wanted to much money for myself. Rest in peace Dave you were a great player and would have loved to have been in the same team as you.
