Linking Up With Today’s Visitors. John Fennelly Recalls the Men and Moments From Our Shared Past.
DOUBLE EDGE
Freddie Cox just loved scoring at White Hart Lane. Unfortunately it wasn’t always for Spurs!
Spotted playing locally in schools football in his hometown Reading, Freddie joined us as an amateur in 1936 and spent time at our Northfleet nursery before returning to sign pro in August, 1938.
The winger scored on his debut at Swansea but then the war took away many of his best playing days. He joined the RAF and was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross.
Cox then became a regular in our first team but was allowed to join Arsenal in 1949 where he had his best years.
He scored for the Gunners in their 1950 FA Cup semi-final with Chelsea and bagged another in the replay – both staged at the Lane – and then went on to help his side to Wembley success.
