DAVE MACKAY - SPURS - 0084

Dave Mackay was respected by team-mates for his courage as a footballer. ‘He was the physical leader' of the Double-winning Tottenham Hotspur side of the early 1960s,' Jimmy Greaves said. ‘He went into battle like a warrior.'

Mackay was ‘the greatest player in that great side,' Greaves added, ‘an individual who had just about everything: power, skill, stamina and enthusiasm. He was the best professional I ever played alongside. When he was missing we all hard to work twice as hard.'
