The 1961 Song

Thanks to Brian Judson and Matt Gibbins for the words to this song

Chorus :
GLORY! GLORY! HALLELUJAH! GLORY! GLORY! HALLELUJAH!
GLORY! GLORY! HALLELHJAH! AND THE SPURS GO MARCHING ON!

Mr B's the Irish captain of the Spurs English Welsh and Scots
And he's charming on the telly with his special sporting shots
And Danny is the captain who collected both the pots
AND THE SPURS GO MARCHING ON!

Chorus.

And there at centre forward Bobby Smith takes up his stand
And when he's in the mood he's the best in all the land
For just like McNamara, Bobby's leader of the band
AND THE SPURS GO MARCHING ON!

Chorus.

Bill Brown is like George Clawley, calm and capable and tall
His eye is like a beagle's as he keeps it on the ball
Bill Brown keeps goal for Scotland, he keeps for Spurs an' all
AND THE SPURS GO MARCHING ON!

Chorus.

Peter Baker is a full back and he plays upon the right
Peter's always merry, Peter's always bright
Peter's in his glory, in the thickest of the fight
AND THE SPURS GO MARCHING ON!

Chorus.

Ron Henry's seen at full back on the left hand of his mate
He's quick to make a tackle, Ron, he doesn't hesitate
When Ron goes in to tackle we remember Sandy Tait
AND THE SPURS GO MARCHING ON!

Chorus.

The situation near the goal is often very tense
But Spurs have Maurice Norman as the keyman in defence
In bringing home the trophies his share is quite immense
AND THE SPURS GO MARCHING ON!

Chorus.

Dave Mackay's a half back who is prone to have a bash
Repeat that, Dave's a half back who is prone to have a bash
Dave Mackay's a Scotsman and he often cuts a dash
AND THE SPURS GO MARCHING ON!

Chorus.

Cliff Jones has an objective : football fortune to enhance
He roams from right to left in search of 'alf a chance
And when he scores he executes a little dance
AND THE SPURS GO MARCHING ON!

Chorus.

In the place of good old Jimmy Seed we now have brave John White
The schemer of Spurs forward line he's Scotland's inside right
The scorer we are told received a pass superb from White
AND THE SPURS GO MARCHING ON!

Chorus.

Les Allen's game at inside-left reminds us of Bert Bliss
At times the ball goes sailing in, at other times a miss
And when he scores he gets a cuddle and a kiss
AND THE SPURS GO MARCHING ON!

Chorus.

Watch Terry Dyson head a goal and note how hard he tries
In beating his opponent his limits are the skies
Like Jack Kirwan he's a terrier for his size
AND THE SPURS GO MARCHING ON!

Chorus.
