President Akufo-Addo is on record to have revealed
that his support for Spurs began during the days of the all-conquering
double-winning side in the 1960s.
“It was from my childhood in England. I saw the great double side, the
side of Danny Blanchflower, Johnny White and Duncan McNair. It was a great
football side; they won my heart from there,” Akufo-Addo revealed.
Tottenham were the first club in the 20th century
to achieve the League and FA Cup Double, winning both competitions in the
1960–61 season. After successfully defending the FA Cup in 1962, in 1963 they
became the first British club to win a UEFA club competition – the European Cup
Winners’ Cup. In 1967, Spurs won the FA Cup for a third time in the 1960s.
In the 1970s Tottenham won the League Cup on two
occasions and were the inaugural winner of the UEFA Cup in 1972, becoming the
first British club to win two different major European trophies. In the 1980s
Spurs won several trophies: the FA Cup twice, FA Community Shield and the UEFA
Cup in 1984.
