Tottenham legend Terry Dyson dies aged 91

Tottenham Hotspur is mourning the loss of Terry Dyson, who passed away at the age of 91. Dyson left his mark on the club's history during his time with the "Spurs."

The former winger was an integral part of Bill Nicholson's celebrated team that achieved the double in the 1960/61 season. He remains the sole Tottenham player to have scored a hat-trick in a North London derby against rivals Arsenal, a feat accomplished early in the 1961/62 season.

Dyson played 209 matches for Tottenham, scoring 55 goals. A notable moment in his career was the 1963 European Cup Winners' Cup final, where he scored twice in a 5-1 victory over Atlético Madrid, securing another European title for the club.

“

One of them hit my hand. It bounced, hit my hand and I sent it into the net. The Arsenal players went mad.

Reflecting on his memorable hat-trick against Arsenal, Dyson once humorously recalled that one of his goals involved his hand. "One of them hit my hand. It bounced, hit my hand and I sent it into the net. The Arsenal players went mad," he said.

Tottenham Hotspur extended its condolences to Dyson's family and friends, acknowledging his significant contributions. "Terry was a key member of the team that won the double in 1961, scoring in the FA Cup final. He also scored twice in the 1963 Cup Winners' Cup final," the club stated.
