EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to a historic moment in football history. It captures the exhilarating match between Tottenham Hotspur and Sheffield Wednesday on Monday, April 17th, 1961. The tension is palpable as Robert Smith, positioned at the center of the frame, leaps gracefully into the air to head in Tottenham's equalizer. This image holds immense significance for both teams involved. Sheffield Wednesday had been the first team that season to defeat Spurs with a score of 2-1 on Saturday, November 12th, 1960. However, Tottenham Hotspur was determined not to let their rivals triumph again. With sheer determination and skill displayed by players like Smith, they managed to secure a crucial point during this encounter. Little did anyone know at that time that this victory would be just one piece of an extraordinary puzzle for Tottenham Hotspur. They went on to win the FA Cup Final at Wembley Stadium and became the first club since Aston Villa in 1896-1897 to achieve what seemed impossible - winning both the Football League and FA Cup in a single season. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph from Lay's Memory Lane Prints collection, it serves as a powerful reminder of sporting greatness achieved through teamwork and unwavering dedication.
