I have been very lucky in my time watching Spurs for 50 odd years. I have seen many ordinary players many very good players but above all I have seen some great players and Cliff Jones was one of the latter.He would dive through a brick wall to head a goal, watching him in full flight down the line was a magnificent sight week in week out. I believe
he was brave to the point of madness, but he loved Bill Nick
and would do anything for him. As for John White I could go on all night but I would say he was a beautiful footballer in a team full of giants. If only the young ones who watch Spurs today could glimpse that team they would know all about the so called beautiful game.

I live round the corner to Cliff, and occasionly see him out the front, gardening or whatever. On this occasion, it was the summer, he had on shorts and a pair of wellingtons, theres not an ounce of fat on him either by the way. The subject got round to football, and I said to him, “Cliff, Thierry Henry, he’s pretty quick, isnt he”, Cliff’s immediate response to this was, “I’ll tell you what boy (in his welsh accent), I’d give him 10 yards start in my wellies!”
A true winner, a first class footballer, and a gentleman.

Have to agree with all above and would like to add two more comments

1. Cliff with all the skills already noted had the unbelievable ability to run at full speed and then take off in to a vertical jump and scored many great headed goals in such a fashion

2. Cliff and my father got their big fight tickets from the same bookmaker and I would often end up sitting next to Cliff, lovely man who loved the big fights
On one occasion he showed me the shin damage to both legs he had collected throughout his career and the likes of Ronaldo would never have shown the same character when getting back up without complaint and getting on with the game
They threw the mold away when Cliff and his likes left the game

The mere mention of Cliff Jones puts a broad smile on my face.
Thanks Cliff for all the memories. Thanks for your bravery and commitment to Spurs, equalled by few, surpassed by none.
You were as good an all round footballer as any I have ever seen. Left foot or right foot, heading ability, speed, acceleration, positional sense, goal scorer, goal maker, you could outjump taller opponents, you could run rings around others and scare them witless.
I was never much of an autograph hunter but I made sure I got yours.
I saw you score the first goal in the 1961 FA Cup Final, even though a poor refereeing decision disallowed it. I watched you in Rotterdam on that glorious day in May 1963.
Another memory is the penalty you took against Man City, which the goalie parried and you knocked it in, only for the B@#*$y pedantic ref to disallow it as he said he had blown for half time.
In 1960-61 you formed part of the best football team of all time. If only you were on our left wing now, with Bobby Smith up front!

cliff jones one of the best but that team of 61 was the best side we will ever have we talk about cliff and all the rest but the best footballer in the side was the late great john white spurs man for 55 years here
