Strange but true facts. Sixty years ago West Ham and Spurs were not in London, being respectively Essex and Middlesex clubs. Arsenal, even when they played at Woolwich, has always been a London club. 😁 #Arsenal

Another strange but true fact, Arsenal started out playing on Plumstead Common, which at the time was in Kent 😉

Pretty sure Spurs have played in London since like 1882. But go on. By your accounts they played the 1965 season at Middlesex? My sources (reality) show they played at WHL which, the last time I checked, was within London. Maybe you could check Google before spouting nonsense.

The GLC didn’t exist until 1965.

No idea what that is but you are wrong with your original statement. So I corrected you. Your welcome!!!
