I have another Classic matches I’ve been to, this time the article/ blog is on Spurs against Wolves, and the game finished 6-1 to us. It was also the same day of the opening of our new West Stand; 6th Feb 1982. Great music also that year, with Jam being at the top of the charts. I hope everybody is staying safe? Best Regards, Glenn

The day after this great result Ricky Villa grabbed all the headlines with his hat-trick for us against the Wolves on the day that the new West Stand was officially opened at White Hart Lane in February 1982.This is my seventh article on my greatest games that I’ve been to.
But what else happened on that day? Well, It was Saturday, Thatcher was Prime Minister, in America Ronald McDonald Reagan was in charge of the White House. In the charts, in America, was Centerfold by The J. Geils Band. In the UK A Town Called Malice / Precious by The Jam were at the top of the charts. Evil Under the Sun, directed by Guy Hamilton, was one of the most viewed movies released in 1982 while The Cinderella Complex by Colette Dowling was one of the best selling books. On TV, people were watching Brummkreisel. If you liked videogames, you were probably playing Super Pac-Man or Getaway. Exciting times… eh!
Other hits in February of that year were: Top #10 songs in the USA
The J. Geils Band – Centerfold
Daryl Hall & John Oates – I Can’t Go For That (No Can Do)
Foreigner – Waiting For A Girl Like You
Quarterflash – Harden My Heart

My name is Glenn Renshaw.
I am currently a Premium Season Ticket holder (West Stand) in the new stadium. Before that – at White Hart Lane – a season ticket holder in various parts of the ground (mainly in the North stand).
Before becoming a season ticket holder, I stood on the shelf and various other parts of the ground since the 1950s. In 1987 I became one of the first to hold a Spurs Membership card. I was also a life long member of the Spurs supporters club (now defunct).
I go to all home, away and abroad matches.
I was born in 1955, Edgware, London (it was in the late 50s – as a baby – that my dad took me to Spurs to initiate me). I currently live in Berkshire.
I also collect all Spurs books (and have everyone printed), Spurs handbooks (from 1920s onwards, Spurs programmes (since the 40s).
Previously, I wrote for Spurs Fanzines: The Spur, Spur of the Moment, My Eyes have seen the Glory and various other Spurs fanzines’. I also wrote for the SpursWeb app & its website.
I currently write and work for spursnetwork.com and its website. I write its Reviews & Match reports and a lot more.
My other interests are; reading, history, social history, Politics, going to the gym, wine, going out for a meal, music (all sorts), writing, theatre, concerts, going on holidays, socialising etc.
