Maurice Norman remembers... White Hart Lane
Maurice, fifth from left, with the rest of the Double-winning team at White Hart Lane in 1961Maurice joined us in 1955 and played 411 times over the next 10 years, placing him 11th in our all-time list of appearance-makers. He was a key member of our 1961 double-winning side and added the FA Cup in 1962 and European Cup Winners’ Cup in 1963 to his collection of honours.
He won 23 caps for England between 1962-64, including selection for the 1962 World Cup Finals in Chile, but sadly his career came to an untimely end when he badly broke his leg in November, 1965, aged just 31. He battled to recover fitness for 18 months but had to call it a day in the summer of 1967.
