Spurs have unveiled a stunning Pat Jennings mural at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium ahead of the Hall of Fame’s return.
Tottenham Hotspur have seen countless players go on to become club legends, representing the team with distinction throughout its history.
In fact, 45 of these players have been recognised by Spurs, with the club inducting them into their Hall of Fame since it was launched back in 2004.
That initiative has since stopped, but plans are in place for the Hall of Fame to return this season on Saturday 19 September when Spurs take on Aston Villa.
Tottenham unveil new Pat Jennings mural inside the stadium
The return of the Hall of Fame initiative is surely a welcome addition as Spurs look to pay tribute to the legends who have donned a Lilywhite shirt.
However, ahead of that, Tottenham have now recognised one of their greatest icons, goalkeeper Pat Jennings, who was inducted into their Hall of Fame in October 2004.
In a video posted on Spurs’ official X account, a mural of the legendary goalkeeper was introduced as part of Spurs’ latest stadium artwork, created by MurWalls.
Taking to X the club tweeted: “Big Pat unveiling his new mural inside Tottenham Hotspur Stadium! Alongside our fans, legendary goalkeeper Pat Jennings was introduced to our latest stadium artwork, created by MurWalls”
What did Jennings win with Spurs?
Pat Jennings is one of the greatest goalkeepers in Tottenham Hotspur history – and arguably one of the greatest British goalkeepers ever.
He was born in Newry, Northern Ireland, in 1945, and joined Tottenham from Watford in June 1964, when he was only 19, for around £27,000.
The shotstopper spent 13 years in north London, from 1964 to 1977, establishing himself as the club’s first-choice goalkeeper and one of the best players in English football.
He made 590 appearances for Spurs, a record that puts him third on the club’s all-time appearance list behind Steve Perryman and Gary Mabbutt.
Jennings was a key player during one of Tottenham’s great eras. He won:
- FA Cup – 1967
- League Cup – 1971
- League Cup – 1973
- UEFA Cup – 1972
He also scored one of the strangest goals in Tottenham history. In the 1967 Charity Shield against Manchester United, Jennings launched a huge drop-kick from inside his own area that bounced over United goalkeeper Alex Stepney and went into the net.
