Thanks Hugh for clarifying exactly when Tottenham Hotspur played at Hartleyvale. I was there that night and if not for SA goalkeeper Trevor Gething, Spurs would have scored far more than 5 goals. Ever since then I've supported Spurs and attended a few of their games in North London in the 70s and 80s. Unfortunately unless you're a season ticket holder, it's virtually impossible to get a ticket to White Hart Lane these days.
With regard to the radio broadcaster from LM on Sundays, I can still hear him saying: "This is Reg Wright calling from Kingsmead." Incredibly the NFL games could be played in Durban on Sundays, but the SABC could not broadcast the result on the sabbath.
Keegan did play for City and the late Bryan Grieve, soccer writer on the Argus, flew to Johannesburg to cover his first match. His first paragraph went something like this: I flew one thousand miles to watch England superstar Kevin Keegan play his first match for Cape Town City here last night. I would now happily walk home, buoyed by the lasting memories of seeing a genius at work."
