EPISODE 15 - Pat Jennings

Goalkeeping royalty on the Off The Shelf podcast 👑 Joining Michael Dawson and Matt Tarr this week is legendary Spurs player, Pat Jennings. Pat was a special player and is regarded as one of the finest goalkeepers in history. The Northern Ireland stopper was our custodian for 13 years and amassed 591 appearances in perhaps the club's most successful period in history. During his time at White Hart Lane, the 78-year-old spent a glittering spell that brought four major trophies in the FA Cup in 1967, two League Cups in 1971 and 1973 and the inaugural UEFA Cup in 1971. He was also recognised as Footballer of the Year in 1973 and even scored a goal from inside his own box with a huge punt in our 1967 Charity Shield victory over Manchester United. An assured presence between the sticks, the goalkeeper holds a record 119 caps for Northern Ireland in an international career spanning 22 years. In a senior club career which saw him play more than 1,000 times at the top level across Watford, Spurs, Arsenal and Everton, the 78-year-old has also made an impact off the pitch which has been recognised with an MBE, an OBE and promoted further to a CBE and was honoured with a statue in his hometown of Kildare St, Newry in November 2023. This is Pat's story.
