Tottenham legend Cliff Jones, appeared in an interview with the club’s website. Here are few of the more exciting questions from the interview
How are you today, Cliff?
Cliff: “I’m okay, thanks, still delighted to see the boys getting back into the World Cup. Look out, the Welsh are coming!”
How does it feel to see Wales back in the World Cup?
Cliff: “It’s fantastic, it took me back to 1958, I must admit. It’s a very special moment. I always believed we’d get there again. Over the years, we’ve had some good sides and some outstanding players, we’ve been close, I just didn’t think it would be so long… 64 years, it’s a lifetime, isn’t it?”
What is your favourite moment at Tottenham?
Cliff: “It has to be achieving the double, beating Leicester City in the FA Cup Final in 1961. It was a great feeling walking off the pitch at Wembley, knowing that you were part of the first team to win the double that century. And we did it in style.”
What is your most treasured Spurs possession?
Cliff: “I still have the tracksuit top that we wore when we walked out for the 1961 FA Cup Final. It’s framed, signed by all the players. That’s got to be it, the day we won the double!”
What is a typical day for you now, Cliff?
Cliff: “First of all, I have to bring my wife a cup of tea. Usually, I’ll go out into the garden. Then, we’ve got four children, nine grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren. They’re all local as well, so there’s always something going on. I’ll also get in a round of golf every now and then. Lovely.”
