New Spurs’ commemorative plate

Why not have an open-top bus parade?


Spurs have commissioned a commemorative plate celebrating the glorious "Night of the One Point" that will go down in history as a night of outstanding achievement for Tottenham Hotspur Football Club.

On a night in front of past legends, it was the legends of ‘07 who stepped up to the plate to obtain the unimaginable prize of a home draw with mighty Aston Villa. Not since the days of black and white TV has the team achieved so highly, gathering 6 points from a possible 24. The joyous crowd were celebrating long into the night. And what is more, despite still being in the relegation zone, the club were no longer joint bottom.

"These young warrior s can be an inspiration to a generation, and we hope that the young fans, who for so long have not had much to cheer about will tell their children and their children’s' children about how they saw the "Night of the One Point” and the draw at home to Villa" said a Spurs spokesperson who asked not to be identified.

Spurs’ "Night of One Point" plates will be on sale for GBP 149.99 after the next home game. Crafted from medium grade PVC and packed in cardboard, some will be signed by the players who can write, so reserve yours now.

Top England striker Jermaine Defoe welcomed the initiative, saying "definitely, I thought I was awesome, ‘innit. I didn't score again or play for very long, but that is not what the game is about. It is about getting a point. We celebrated wildly when we equalised against Arsenal when they won the league at our ground again, because that was obviously all about us, not them. I think this draw with Villa is up there with that. Definitely. I’ll definitely buy one a plate. Definitely”.

Butch manager Martin Jol growled – “This is what this club is all about – falling behind and trying to catch up. I am happy with our progress under me and will take one point whenever I can”
