"The stature of Dave Mackay in Tottenham folklore is vast and indisputable. Indeed to imagine Spurs' great sixties side without the vibrant Scot is to picture the Huns without Attila or the Alamo without Davy Crockett.
Yet while it is right that so much is made of Dave's dynamic, warrior-like qualities - many have written that if Blanchflower was the brains of the team, Mackay was its heart - there is a danger of under-selling his sheer, unadulterrated all-round talent."[c/o Ivan Ponting's Tottenham Hotspur Player by Player, 1.]
