Not only did Keith Burkinshaw have friends in Bengeo but he lived there while manager of THFC. I used to deliver his Sunday Newspaper and one morning after Spurs had suffered a particularly unpleasant defeat, I handed him his paper while he was walking his dogs, said ‘good morning Mr Burkinshaw’ to which he replied ‘f*** off’! It would have been around 1980.
