Described by the late, great Brian Clough as 'Tottenham's greatest ever player', Dave Mackay was a fearless defender who galvanised all those around him and during his nine seasons at White Hart Lane he helped inspire the club to its most successful years of the modern era.
Signed from Scottish side Hearts for £32,000 in March 1959, the Edinburgh-born star quickly fund his feet in north London and with the attacking talents of Jimmy Greaves and Cliff Jones on hand to compliment his no-nonsense defending, Tottenham became a force to be reckoned with.
Mackay famously won the double - the first of the twentieth century - with the club in 1961 and went on to win the FA Cup in both 1962 and 1967, as well as the 1963 Cup Winners' Cup after Atletico Madrid were beaten 5-1 in Rotterdam.
He finally left the club in 1958 when Clough persuaded him to sign for Derby County but Mackay's place in Spurs history was already assured. He was inducted into the English Football Hall of Fame in 2002.
About Jimmy Greaves
One of the most naturally gifted and prolific strikers of any era, Jimmy Greaves was born to score goals and in an iconic career that spanned three glorious decades, that is exactly what he did with an unerring regularity for club and country.
Greaves was simply sensational in front of goal and from the moment he marked his debut for Chelsea as a 17-year-old in 1957 with a goal, it was obvious he was destined for great things. He spent four seasons at Stamford Bridge and scored an incredible 124 times in just 157 appearances.
It was, however, in the famous white of Tottenham Hotspur that he was to truly establish himself as one of the game's greats. Signed by Bill Nicholson in 1961 after a brief and unhappy sojourn in Italy with AC Milan, Greaves found his spiritual home at White Hart Lane and his arrival in north London was the beginning of a nine-year love affair between the player and the club.
The striker lit up the old First Division with Spurs, finishing the league's top scorer in four separate seasons and his goals helped the club to lift the FA Cup in 1962 and 1967. In 1963, he was part of the Tottenham team who became the first British side to lift a European trophy after they famously beat Atletico Madrid 5-1 in the final of the Cup Winners' Cup.
He left Spurs aged 30 in 1970 having rewritten the club's record books. In total, he scored a breathtaking 266 goals in 379 games for the Lilywhites and is still widely regarded as the greatest striker in Tottenham's illustrious history.
Greaves was even more prolific in the white of England. He marked his international debut against Peru in 1959 with a goal and over the next eight years he played times for his country and scored 44 times. He is third on the all-time England goalscorers list behind Bobby Charlton and Gary Lineker but his goals per game ratio remains superior to both.
Injury robbed him of the chance to play in the 1966 World Cup final but his impact on the international stage was undimmed by the cruel twist of fate and he will forever be remembered as one of England's greatest ever strikers.
Tottenham Hotspur triumphed over Chelsea in the first all-London FA Cup Final at Wembley Stadium winning 2-1 on the day in 1967.
