The Battle of London: Ars*nal Versus Tottenham Hotspur by Rex Pardoe.

The fixture between Spurs and Woolwich Ars*nal has been eagerly waited for. The rivalry started in 1913 when Ars*nal moved from Plumstead to Highbury; three miles from White Hart Lane ground. This rivalry intensified when Spurs were robbed of their league position in the First Division and given to Ars*nal, who were in 5th place in the Second division by a nudge and a wink. The Battle of London takes a look at these events and tells the story of the rivalry between one great club and Ars*nal from the 1880s to the 1970s. Author Rex Pardoe compares the achievements of Tottenham and Ars*nal in their respective League and Cup doubles of 1960-61 and 1970-71 and looks at their successes in the European Cup Winners Cup and European Fairs Cup. The last chapter contains comparative tables of the clubs' achievements in the League and Cup has been fully updated.
I’ve lived a life that’s full. I’ve travelled each and every highway;
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Regrets, I’ve had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.
