IT'S A FAMILY AFFAIR

Three generations of the Chappell family will be watching this afternoon’s game against Wolves, just over 100 years after ‘one of their own’ helped Spurs defeat the same opponents to land the FA Cup.

IT'S A FAMILY AFFAIR

Jimmy Banks was part of the triumphant team that lifted the trophy for the second time in the Club’s history, following up a stunning promotion season from the old Second Division (now the Championship) into the top-flight in 1919/20 by beating Wolves 1-0 at Stamford Bridge on 23 April 1921 to take the famous silverware back to White Hart Lane.

It was an historic day – not just in terms of the trophy, but the fact that we wore the now synonymous cockerel on our shirts for the first time – and an achievement that the Chappell family have carried with them ever since.

Tony, 78 – Jimmy’s grandson – first remembers walking through the turnstiles at the Lane in 1954. Tony’s children, Melissa and Neil, have followed in the family footsteps. Neil’s first game was in 1977, although Mel says she can’t remember hers, ‘I was too young!’ Neil’s son, Alec, has of course followed suit. For this family, there is no other footballing way.

Jimmy joined the Club in 1913, played regularly in the London Combination during the First World War and then enjoyed his best spell in the promotion season of 1919/20 (22 games) and 1920/21 (25 games). In total, he played 77 times in the league and FA Cup for us, scoring 10 goals. He took his chance when Fanny Walden was injured in 1920/21, scored the winner in the quarterfinal against Aston Villa and kept his place for the final. He moved on to Norwich City in September, 1923 and, after a spell at Luton and then becoming a bus driver, passed away at the age of 49 in August, 1942.
