The iconic Tottenham Hotspur 1978 Admiral Track Jacket. A postmodern statement of football style.

Famously seen worn by Steve Perryman, who's looking on with open mouthed incredulity as Spurs Manager Keith Burkinshaw swigs from a celebratory bottle of fizz, in an iconic black and white photo taken in the away dressing room at The Dell. Moments earlier Spurs had secured the final day 0-0 draw with Southampton that guaranteed both clubs a point, and promotion from The Second Division back into the Top-Flight of English football in April 1978. The Admiral Track Jacket was then raised to truely iconic status at the August 1978 White Hart Lane pre-season photocall, when Manager Keith Burkinshaw wore it as he unveiled his revolutionary new signings Osvaldo Ardiles and Ricardo Villa, to the assembled press.

At the time, and seemingly from nowhere, Spurs had signed two of the Argentina '78 World Cup Winners, and on the opening day of the 1978-79 season, away at reigning Football League Division One Champions Nottingham Forest, Ossie Ardiles began his marvellous midfield partnership with Glenn Hoddle, and it was Ricky Villa who danced around Peter Shilton in The Forest goal to score The Spurs equaliser in a 1-1 draw.

As David Lacey, writing in The Guardian, describing Spurs Manager Keith Burkinshaw travelling to Buenos Aires to secure the services of Ossie Ardiles and Ricky Villa put it: "It was if the janitor had gone to buy a tin of paint and returned with a Velázquez". Burkinshaw was no janitor but, a visionary progressive who'd returned from Argentina with not one but, two Velázquez for the bargain sum of £750,000. The 1978 Tottenham Hotspur Admiral Track Jacket is a postmodern Old Master too but, without that priceless point at Southampton in April there would have been no Ardiles and Villa in N17, and no ticker-tape at The Lane.
