ON SUNDAY, Tottenham Hotspur take on Manchester City at Wembley in the League Cup final, 40 years on from their fabled encounter in the 100th FA Cup final, the night Ricky Villa slalomed his way through the opposition defence to score perhaps the most famous Cup final winner.
That 1981 encounter is also remembered for the Cup final song written by Dave Peacock, one-half of pop duo Chas and Dave which centred around Spurs’ other Argentinian World Cup-winner Osvaldo Ardiles and Ossie’s Dream to play at Wembley, “in de Cup for Totting-ham.”
The song begins with the immortal line: “Ossie’s going to Wembley, his knees have gone all trembley” as Peacock knew that Ardiles, signed by Tottenham in 1978 after winning the World Cup with Argentina, dreamed of playing at Wembley Stadium.
TWO assists for John Stones, then - one for Poland’s equaliser and one for England’s winner.
Gareth Southgate had regarded Stones’ resurgence at Manchester City as a game-changer, allowing him to rip up his unpopular back five and pair him with Man United captain Harry Maguire in a flat back four.

So what to make of this? Stones and Maguire looking shaky in defence as Poland gave Southgate’s side a serious second-half scare, yet the two Yorkshiremen combining for the late winner.
