Tottenham Hotspur Manager Bill Nicholson publicly pinned his faith in his players
Tottenham Hotspur Manager Bill Nicholson publicly pinned his faith in his players yesterday (Wednesday 11-12-63) - and privately stepped up the search for new strength. Inside a month he has lost both wing halves - the heart of a great side. Danny Blanchflower can no longer cope, and a specialists report on his knee injury will probably be the first step towards retirement. Now Dave Mackay will miss the rest of this seasons championship challenge after breaking his leg at Old Trafford on Tuesday (10-12-63) when playing against Manchester United in the European Cup Winners Cup. But Nicholsons answer is a firm: " We shall not panic. We shall not buy for the sake of buying. Mackays injury is a tremendous blow to us but its not the end of the world. My biggest headache for months has not been my team, but the constant and so far unsuccessful search to find players to back them up. A broken leg can t keep Dave Mackay down! He was in cheerful mood when Spurs team-mates Terry Dyson (left) and Bobby Smith called at his Enfield home. Daves children are Valerie, 4, and Derek, 6. December 1963 P026460
