Ex-Spurs defender Tony Want recalls unforgettable journey from Hackney Marshes to White Hart Lane

Former Tottenham Hotspur and Birmingham City defender Tony Want joins Alan Hudson and sports journalist Tony Jimenez to look back at his football career. Want reveals how he made the journey from the humble Hackney Marshes playing pitches in North London to the famous White Hart Lane stadium. He recalls how Spurs team-mate Terry Venables lost a bet by wrongly predicting when he would make his debut. Want also remembers how he was inspired by the Tottenham exploits of legends like Dave Mackay and Jimmy Greaves. He describes how he was in awe of Spurs boss Bill Nicholson but says managers in the Sixties and Seventies earned very little money and always made sure the players earned very little too. Want also recalls a funny incident when, as a substitute at White Hart Lane, he had to run onto the pitch to retrieve team-mate Martin Chivers' false teeth.
