The 1963 European Cup Winners' Cup Final was the final
John White and Terry Dyson (2). Tottenham's victory made them the first English team to win a major European trophy, and the second British team after Glentoran who won the Vienna Cup in 1914.[1]
Tottenham's next major trophy came four years later when they won the
1967
, but Jimmy Greaves was the only player from this team to feature in the next Tottenham side to win a major trophy due to the bulk of the team having retired or been transferred over the next four years. John White was killed by lightning on a golf course the following year.
