Alan Gilzean

Spurs legend Alan Gilzean has sadly been diagnosed with a brain tumour.

http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11675/11413781/tottenham-hotspur-legend-alan-gilzean-diagnosed-with-brain-tumour

The 79 year old is a real Spurs legend and formed formidable striking partnerships with both Greavsie and Martin Chivers.

The prognosis does not appear good.

Sad news.

I'll NEVER fright that header at WHL in 1970 to draw us level with Man Utd after being 0-2 down. The ball whizzed off of Cyril Knowles's boot at high speed and even faster off of Gilly's head into the far corner, he was facing away from goal too. I recommend it to your viewing, Spurs v Man Utd 1970, December.

One for us oldies. Both sides full of legends and great commentary from Brian Moore.

If you can't be arrsed watching the full 30mins the goals are approximately
Dennis Law 10mins
George Best 16mins
Martin Peters 20mins
Alan Gilzean 26mins

Should've won this match by 6 or 7.

Best of luck to Gilly

Was such a great and gracious player, one of the reasons I loved watching Berbatov was that he reminded me of the King of White Heart Lane.

Jimmy Rimmer stopped the thrashing of Utd that day.

Same match Rimmer produced an impossible save from Gilly from point blank range.
