The Tottenham “Double” winning side of 1960-61 played 49 competitive matches (42 in the League and 7 in the FA Cup). Four of their players were ever-present; three missed only one match; three more played 47, 44 and 43 matched respectively. Only Cliff Jones, among the established team, played fewer matches (he played 34 missing a number due to a serious leg injury).
Of their regular team all except three (Peter Baker, Les Allen and Terry Dyson) played international football for the home nations. Of the less used players Terry Medwin (who replaced Cliff Jones during his injury) was also a regular international:
Bill Brown (Scotland, 28 caps)
Ron Henry (England, 1)
Danny Blanchflower (N. Ireland, 56)
Maurice Norman (England, 23)
Dave Mackay (Scotland, 22)
Cliff Jones (Wales, 59)
John White (Scotland, 22)
Bobby Smith (England, 15)
Terry Medwin (Wales, 30)
The above makes interesting reading because at that time the league programme was not abandoned every time there was an international match. Clubs had to get on with it. As well as that, there were annual “home “ internationals.
