Classic Programmes #3: Tottenham Hotspur vs. Racing Club de Paris

Posted October 29, 2009 in Programmes by

Our new Thursday series looks at classic football programmes, that perfect accompaniment for a trip down memory lane. This week: we go back 56 years, to the first ever floodlight match at Tottenham Hotspur’s White Hart lane, with the programme’s cover promising Spurs were in for “very attractive visitors” and “very sporting opponents” with the visit of Racing Club de Paris.
