'THE GHOST' LIVES ON AT THE NEW TOTTENHAM HOTPUR STADIUM
'
Tottenham Hotspur v West Ham United Match day programme - Saturday, April 27, 2019
It does not matter if you are a Spurs home fan or a visiting away fan, you will agree when you visit the new Tottenham Hotspur stadium, that you have stepped into the EIGHTH WONDER OF THE WORLD.
It is the blueprint for football stadiums throughout the country. It seems a little selfish that it's only the Spurs fans who are enjoying football in the modern age.
A Sneak peak at...

Football Walk of Fame legends

The FOOTBALL WALK OF FAME visited Ipswich Town Football Club on Saturday 1st April 2017 presenting a plaque in honour of one of the most remarkable football managers of all time - Sir Alf Ramsey.
Photo (left): Trevillion, Andy Nelson (Sir Alf's Captain), Pat Godbold (Sir Alf's wonderful secretary) and Ray Crawford (Sir Alf's super striker) from Ramsey's 1961/62 First Division Championship winning team. One of the 25 legends inaugurated into the Football Walk of Fame at the National Football Museum in June 2016, Sir Alf Ramsey’s achievements run deeper than 'just' winning the 1966 World Cup. National Football Museum Interim Director Kevin Haygarth, said, “To do what Sir Alf Ramsey did with Ipswich, taking them from near the bottom of the then Third Division South to First Division Champions was remarkable. Then of course he went on to top that quite spectacularly in 1966.” Photo (left): The National Football Museum team and ‘Master of Movement’ Paul Trevillion presented a unique copy of the Football Walk of Fame plaque ahead of the Tractor Boys' 1-1 draw with Birmingham City. Said Ray Crawford: “I love this plaque because you can see the warmth in his eyes. That was him.” Continued Ray: “Alf’s achievements in football must always be remembered. He was a real gentleman, there was never any bad language, you knew where you stood with him and you wanted to do well for him. He never asked you to do something you couldn’t do and he always picked the right teams.” Said Trevillion “I got to know Alf quite well when he was a Tottenham player and I was working on the Lilywhite magazine in the ‘50’s. I did a drawing of Alf heading the ball. Alf was not pleased, he said, 'The higher the ball in the air, the lower the standard of play. Always draw me with the ball at my feet!' He was known as ‘The General’ because he always demanded the ball and directed play. Later in life he pulled me up on one of my Roy of the Rovers drawings. He said ‘you’ve drawn him leaning back too much, that shot would have gone over the bar!’ He was a football man from the top of his head to the bottom of his toes.” “Forget what Leicester did last season, Ipswich Town is still English football’s biggest ever fairytale.” The plaque will reside at Portman Road in the Sir Alf Ramsey Stand in the concourse area. Sir Alf Ramsey's Football Walk of Fame plaque is the latest special presentation, with special Walk Of Fame plaques also now at Craven Cottage (George Cohen), Deepdale (Tom Finney), Bloomfield Road (Alan Ball) and in St Helen's (Lily Parr).

TREVILLION CELEBRATES 80 YEARS A SPURS SUPPORTER
On Sunday 5th March Paul Trevillion, enjoyed an 80 years SPURS FAN lifetime milestone. Sky Sports News TV gave the perfect start to the day with an interview by Sky Sports Top Reporter, Gary Cotterill in Trevillion's studio.
Thanks to Donna Cullen, Executive Director of Tottenham Hotspur FC, Trevillion was invited as guest of honour, at White Hart Lane for Tottenham Hotspur v Everton, to celebrate 80 years supporting Spurs at ’The Lane’.
Trevillion saw his first match way back in 1937, when as a three year old he was spellbound by Everton’s Dixie Dean. Tottenham won 4-3, but Trevillion’s only memory is of Dixie Dean! Fast forward twenty years and Trevillion was privileged to work with his hero Dixie Dean on his illustrated newspaper life story featured in the Liverpool Echo.
A memorable pitch side interview with Paul Miles for Spurs TV and an 80 years Birthday presentation by Tottenham Hotspur Club Ambassador and THFC legend Ledley King - a unique gift from all at Tottenham Hotspur - a match play shirt with TREVILLION'S own squad number ’80' made it a unbelievable Birthday celebration which began with the Sky Sports News interview on loop every hour until kick off, which Trevillion enjoyed in the THFC Boardroom alongside Chairman Daniel Levy, Donna Cullen and Trevillion's guest music composer, David Courtney along with many other distinguished guests.

History repeated itself. In 2017, Tottenham Hotspur 80 years on, once again were set to play Everton. Trevillion enjoyed a thrilling match with two goals from Harry The Hurri-Kane , and a third from Dele (spell ‘Pele') Alli The result 3-2 to Spurs!
"Tottenham beat Everton 4-3 the first time I saw the Spurs play", remembered Trevillion, “Only Dixie Dean remains in my memory from that day, but on Sunday 5th March 2017 every moment of the Spurs v Everton game will remain a MEMORY. Especially the ROAR OF THE SPURS FANS - I AM PROUD TO BE ONE OF THEM CHEERING ON THE TOTTENHAM LEGENDS OF TODAY. We at Tottenham have a great team to be proud of and a stadium about to dwarf all others!”
"COME ON YOU SPURS!"

On 25th February 2017 during half time at the Preston North End v Brentford match, the presentation of a replica of the plaque was made to his son Brian Finney, dedicated to his father Sir Tom Finney at Preston North End, the football club where Finney played for his entire career. The plaque, created from a pen and ink portrait drawing by the 'Master of Movement' Paul Trevillion, will reside in the main reception area of the Sir Tom Finney Stand at Deepdale.

One of the great pioneers of women's football has been honoured with a special Football Walk of Fame plaque in her home town of St. Helens. Born in Gerrard's bridge in 1905 Lily Parr started her playing career in her home town of St. Helens before transferring to Preston based team Dick Kerr Ladies. In her first season in 1920 at just 14 years old, Lily Parr scored 43 goals for the team! Over her playing career she scored more than 1000 goals and was known for her having a harder shot than any male footballer.
On Sunday 29th of January 2017, members of the National Football Museum, and Paul Trevillion presented Lily Parr's family and St. Helens Rugby League Club with their own Football Walk of Fame Plaque on the St. Helens pitch.
Trevillion said " I was born in 1934 so I was used to hearing people say when they saw a young girl kick a ball, 'Who do you want to be, another Lily Parr?' It came as no surprise, when the two nephews told me that when Lily Parr was in the USA taking a penalty, the goalkeeper, a big man, laughed. The ball went into the net and the goalkeeper finished up with a broken arm. True story! They also told me that the legendary Manchester Utd manager Matt Busby said, "If they allowed women to play football, I would have selected Lily Parr for every team."

I was delighted when the two nephews, said I had captured Lily 'in action' in my painting (pictured above) which I presented to them in the St. Helens boardroom before St Helens Pre Season Friendly Match against Castleford Tigers. I must say that for one who enjoys a good Sunday lunch, I have never enjoyed one more than the one on my plate on Sunday in the St. Helens board room. Gordon Ramsay would have been proud to have served it!

2016 'Football Walk of Fame' Honours ALAN BALL at Bloomfield Road On 26 November when Blackpool took on Newport County in EFL League 2, members of the National Football Museum team and ‘master of movement’ Paul Trevillion presented Alan Ball’s daughters Keely and Mandy Ball along with Blackpool F.C with their own Walk of Fame plaque. Artist Paul Trevillion described the opportunity to make the presentation: “It is an honour, as it was a privilege to become a great friend of Alan Ball. I met Keely when she was a little girl, and I always remember how Alan talked so fondly about his family with a very special place in his heart for his wife Lesley. It was in the tangerine shirt of Blackpool, not the blue of Everton or the red of Arsenal that Alan became a World Cup ’66 hero.” National Football Museum Director Dr Kevin Moore, speaking of the England and Blackpool great said: ‘Alan is part of an elite group of people who have won football’s greatest prize, it's natural that he should be one of the first to be presented with a place on the nationwide Football Walk of Fame.’ 
Special thanks to all at BLACKPOOL FC for creating this unique retro programme honouring FOOTBALL WALK OF FAME inductee, ALAN BALL - Legend of Blackpool FC & England .

“Do you sell your original Art?” This question has often been asked over the years. My standard “NO” response ended in 2014 when I decided for the first time to exhibit and sell original Trevillion art at the Strand Gallery, London." |
