- Joining Michael Dawson and Matt Tarr this week is legendary Spurs player, Pat Jennings.
Pat was a special player and is regarded as one of the finest goalkeepers in history. The Northern Ireland stopper was our custodian for 13 years and amassed 591 appearances in perhaps the club's most successful period in history. During his time at White Hart Lane, the 78-year-old spent a glittering spell that brought four major trophies in the FA Cup in 1967, two League Cups in 1971 and 1973 and the inaugural UEFA Cup in 1971. He was also recognised as Footballer of the Year in 1973 and even scored a goal from inside his own box with a huge punt in our 1967 Charity Shield victory over Manchester United.
An assured presence between the sticks, the goalkeeper holds a record 119 caps for Northern Ireland in an international career spanning 22 years. In a senior club career which saw him play more than 1,000 times at the top level across Watford, Spurs, Arsenal and Everton, the 78-year-old has also made an impact off the pitch which has been recognised with an MBE, an OBE and promoted further to a CBE and was honoured with a statue in his hometown of Kildare St, Newry in November 2023.
This is Pat's story.

Pat and Jimmy Greaves were my two heroes as an embryonic Spurs fan. He had hands like shovels - would rarely punch a ball, rather come out and catch it one-handed. Great to see that he is doing well, a gentle man in every sense.
You have the same two as me. Both still never been surpassed my book.
This is a true legend and still looking pretty much as if he could still play.lol. What an incredible goalkeeper.
We need a podcast of a rip of old players like jennings. I could listen to that all day
Its a trasure that we have a man Like Pat Jennings still with us
Pat is a living legend of the game
What a classy keeper he was I have no doubt if he played now he would be a 120 million plus keeper , what a superb humble gentleman and a club legend
What a great, humble man. Superb goalkeeper, I was privileged to see him play in-person many times.
So many memories of Pat, the greatest goalkeeper ever. And such a great guy. I hope one day I can meet him, Im 64 and saw him so many times. Loved this interview.
Proper legend. My favourite player when I started following Spurs in the early '70s and still my all time favourite Spurs player.
I am loving this podcast series seeing some of my all time greats, players that I grew up watching. I am now 74 yrs old I have met (The flying Welsh Wizard) Cliff Jones. What a wonderful person Pat is loved him as a Goalkeeper for us shocked 😮 when he was allowed to play for that lot.
Pat Jennings = legend & goes straight in to my spurs all time XI. Absolute travesty that he was allowed to go to that lot down the road
Would probably never have gone to that lot down the road were it not for the disgusting behaviour of our at the time board of directors. Pat, turned up at the ground to say goodbye to the players as it looked like he was going to Ipswich the directors all trooped out to board a coach and completely ignored Pat !!! Pat, was aware the Goons wanted him and as it made little difference in terms of daily travelling he went to the Goons, i personally hope all those directors had a horrible rest of their lives. One man you do not insult is Pat ! GOAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@andyanderson3567 very good point 👍
@@andyanderson3567
And who did they replace him with? Barry Daines. i still can't believe it.
@@daneelolivaw602I always think that this happening was one of the most farcical pieces of business in the history of football. Not just Spurs history, but football as a sport.
What a gent .... amazing career.
ABSOLUTE LEGEND !! A TRUE TOTTENHAM HOTSPURS GREAT !!
💪🙏👏An absolute best podcast ever!.
Pat Jennings what a legend!.
I enjoyed so much listening to his background and talk about his career he had.My Grandfather and uncles spoke highly about him,for what he did with his performance and the matches.
I’ve been round my mate’s house today talking about this podcast…..he really enjoyed doing it! 😉
Love big Pat. So many great memories watching him play live. Broke my heart when he went to Arsenal.
Greatness beyond imaginable Greatness.
Quite simply....
...The Greatest Of Them All...
What a true gentleman. I met him once he came to a pub in braintree Essex a few years ago. He is a legend in my eyes mehstg
Thanks for this conversation that shows life is far more important than sport.
The list of nice things to say about Pat can go on and on.
He was so encouraging to the goalkeeper who was playing for me when we visited chigwell training ground years ago.
His THIS IS YOUR LIFE from the 80s episode in well worth a watch.
The grace he left Tottenham in when being dumped was really commendable.
Enough to join Rivals Arsenal which shows the Irish humour in him.
The first Legendary Goalkeeper, a true gentleman and one of the greats.
Pat is a true Spurs legend and their greatest ever goal keeper, top 5 goal keepers there has ever been and an absolute gent
What a lovely man...same hairstyle brilliant.
Frank Saul and Jimmy Robertson were the 2 scorers in our 2- 1 win against Chelsea in that 67 Cup final. I remember it so well. I watched on a black and white tv and thought. I like this team in white. I was 9, and dad was taking me to watch Charlton every week, but I became a Spurs fan during that game.
Brilliant man. Brilliant legacy. Possibly the best goalkeeper ever. My step Dad loved Pat. We all went to his testamonial at Spurs, and my folks went to the celebration of Pat at, if I remember correctly, the Chanticlier (spelling), which was I think in Paxton Road. He also had a personally signed reprint of a painting of Pat celebrating the event proudly displayed on the wall at home. He was gutted when he left for Arsenal but he never lost an ounce of respect for him. I never saw Pat play for Spurs competitively except when he was at Arsenal as the season I first started going regularly Barry Daines was playing most of the games (Mark Kendall was his under study) was the year we were in the old second division for a season. Entrance fee for an 11 year old back then was a massive 80p.
Really enjoyable video guys. Thanks for brightening my evening. Love you Pat.
An absolute pleasure to listen to the gentleman that is Pat Jennings, thank you Pat for the enjoyment you gave me along with Jimmy Greaves all those years ago when i was a youngster and to this day why i still follow spurs at the age of 67.
Thanks guys, Pat is a childhood hero for me and I don't think I have heard him speak for so long before! Who is next on the show? ...... maybe Graham Roberts? He has a few stories I reckon. Thanks again, great show.
Pat, really so much more to be proud half Irish.
Not many players would be forgiven for going to that vile club up the road.
But Pat Jennings will always be loved and adored by Spurs fans.
An absolute legend.
Spurs are the the ones who betrayed pat Jennings not pat Jennings
What a great goalkeeper!!. I have followed Spurs since 1970-71 season. He was my favourite player. During that time, Spurs won 2 league cups and a UEFA Cup. They finished in the top six of the First Division a number of times, and Pat won both Footballer of The Year Awards with The Football Writers and Player's Player of The Year. At school, I had to argue against people who said that Pat kept Spurs in the First Division. I used to say " what about Chivers, Peters, Perryman, Gilzean, England, Knowles...?". Then in 1976-77 season, Pat missed many games through injury. What happens? Spurs are relegated!! So, his importance to the team was very clear. However, Spurs decided his time at the club was over. He was transferred to Arsenal, and achieved more success with them. A great player and servant to the club for 13 seasons!
If he had been English he Would have been called the best in the World.
I've supported Spurs since we beat Chelsea in the fa cup final in 1967. And I started going to see them at the lane in the early 70s. I have been lucky enough to see them become winners twice in72 and 84 and win the league cup against Norwich. I'm still hoping we can win a final with our p resent team and see Sonny hold the trophy with pride and joy.Coys.
Love this! Hope you all can get Cliff Jones on, too!
I wish they had asked him about his experience in both 1982 and 1986 world cups !!!!
I went to watch Spurs throughout the 60s and big Pat was a huge hero to me. He had the misfortune to be Irish bc if he'd been English he'd surely have been England's keeper at the 66 World Cup. Best keeper these islands have ever seen. Once met him at WHL and was so star-struck I was speechless!
I also once met him in a hotel bar in Dublin after a World Cup qualifier between Ireland and Spain. I too was star-struck and speechless!
Legend!
Beautiful interview.
absolute legend
I remember many years ago the great Liverpool manager Bill Shankly, said he preferred his own goalie at Liverpool, a short fat bloke called Tommy Lawrence, he said Mr Jennings was easy to lobb, because he came to far from his goal line, this was just before Spurs played Liverpool at white hart lane.
Well, Mr Jennings played a great game as usual, and Mr Greaves Lobbed Tommy Lawrence to score a goal. Back then of course not all games were televised, nor even highlights later that night, i would love to have seen the look on Bill Shankly's face when Mr Greaves scored that goal.
A Legend and a Gentleman in the truest sense. Living in Ireland, the opportunities to see my hero live were limited, but I did see him a few times in the early 70s at WHL and at Old Trafford. I also went to see him in the famous "All Ireland 11" match against Brazil in Lansdowne Road, Dublin in 1973 which he mentioned in this interview. Coincidentally they actually played as the Dublin club, Shamrock Rovers, the same name as the street league team in Newry which he mentioned at the beginning of the interview. I look forward to seeing the new statue to Big Pat in Newry next time I'm there.
Legend
Thanks pat legend Jennings🎉 I meet you up at the lane 2017 willow trust we beat Bournemouth 4-0 ❤
I like the spurs cockerel trophy in the background, where was it from?
Loved this one ⚽COYS
watching This As a Arsenal Fan (sorry Lol) big Pat was One of My Heros as a kid in the late 70s
Spurs also gave the great Jimmy the gate infact they wouldn't allow him back into the Lane to empty his locker .Wishing Big Pat all the best a proud Irish man and I am so proud he played for our beloved SPURS .
I left home to hoping my first ship at 21 and was away 6.5 months sailing from Europe as far as Papua New Guinea and back again, the furthest I had been had been Herne Bay in Kent.
Where’s the seven questions at the end lads?!!!!
