It's taken me 57 years to forget that mauling and you have to remind me of it That Spurs side were frightening and I think we got off lightly with the 8-4 aggregate score. I'll never forget that game at Ibrox when Jimmy Greaves went waltzing past almost half our team to score in the first 10 minutes. It's not as if we had a bunch of diddies on the park either; as we had Ritchie, Shearer, Caldow, Davis, McKinnon, Baxter, Henderson, McMillan, Miller, Brand, Wilson, all playing. Of course, we scored through a Ralphie Brand header, but then Smith hit one past Ritchie before Davie Wilson pulled us level on the night. I have no idea what our defence was playing at but Smith scored again to put us out of our misery. I actually think we didn't play bad, but the magic of the late great John White and Jimmy Greaves was a bit too much for us, plus the fact we were Naive at White Hart Lane in our set up, which basically made the return leg a bridge too far.

Aye, you used to get some banter back in those days from both fans and players, unlike the modern game. I think that night was close to being the coldest I've ever been at Ibrox, but to see those great players battle it out was a privilege, and if my memory is correct, I think Spurs went on to win the trophy that season.

I'd like to know how many times we've been knocked out in European competitions by the sides who have gone on the win the tournament? Quite a few I'd imagine.
