Bobby Smith was just as good in Spurs' double side of 1961....I think he earned a basic £20 a week. Judge for yourselves: Smith (for Spurs) 271 games, 176 goals; (for England) 15 games, 13 goals. Kane (for Spurs) 150 games, 108 goals; (for England) 24 games, 13 goals. Smith was a league & FA Cup double winner (1961), FA Cup winner (1962), European Cup Winners champions (1963). Kane honours - zilch. The maximum wage of £20 a week was abolished in 1961. Johnny Haynes of Fulham became the first £100 a week player in 1961 and George Best the first £1,000 a week player in 1971. Out of interest do you see a loaf of bread for 30p and bemoan the pound notes needed now, not like the old days where you could get a car for 2 shillings and thrupence?

Fox92 Posted 8 June 2018 Share Posted 8 June 2018 Contracts don't mean anything - if anything this will just triple Kane's value - but part of me think's he's just gonna stay at Spurs all his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, £20 a week was only about the national average wage in 1961 so many top -flight footballers had to take on a second job to supplement their income. Jimmy Robson, scorer of Burnley's goal in the 1962 FA Cup final, often did a stint as a coal miner before some Burnley night matches and a few of the first team worked for local butcher Bob Lord, who was Burnley's dictator-type chairman at the time.

Contracts mean nothing to footballers, they do to clubs. If Kane was for sale at the moment I guess he'd get about $130m or at least 2 Mahrez's. I think he'll stay at Spurs for 2 or 3 years but when they continue to fail to win anything he'll be off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post filbertway Posted 9 June 2018 Popular Post Share Posted 9 June 2018 I used to quite like your posting @lancyclaret but christ, every post is filled with jealousy or insecurity about money. You're in Europe! You should be buzzing for the season ahead, not worrying about other teams spending money or planning to spend money. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He basically has zero knees. They shouldn't be going near him anyway, especially playing at Klopp pace. He'd probably survive a few seasons in a Mourinho team playing walking football but nowt else. The wonder is how they didn't pick it up scouting though given I could ****ing tell them that just from watching the European football show on bt. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
