Armstrong, Spurs

Chris Armstrong was a pretty big signing for Spurs in the summer of 1995.

He'd just scored 22 (if memory serves) for newly-promoted Crystal Palace; no mean feat in a side that went on to be relegated.

As a result, Spurs were convinced to shell out £4.5m (in a time when that was actually a lot of money to spend in the Premier League) to get their man. Ultimately, I'd say he flattered to deceive at WHL which is a statement backed up by the fact he only got double figures in 2 seasons.

Clearly I'm in quite an informative mood today!! Here are the pics:



Not in squad number order!! Or chronological! But just had to go home, then away! 

You'll notice the different squad numbers- he went from 11 to 16 as he fell down the pecking order.

They're in different fonts too- the one on the yellow kit being the preferred font of Spurs' kit manufacturer Pony, before the introduction of uniform numbers throughout the division.
