The 'Double' was secured three weeks later with a 2-0 win against Leicester City at Wembley, thanks to goals from Bobby Smith and Terry Dyson. They didn't lose until mid-November and wrapped up the title with three matches remaining on 17 April with a 2-1 win against Sheffield Wednesday. Bill Nicholson's team won their first 11 matches of the season - a record that still stands - drew the 12th, and then won the next four. It was the first Double of the 20th century, a feat last achieved by Aston Villa in 1896/97. That was the day, 60 years ago, that our Club achieved what many felt was impossible, by securing the 'Double' of the First Division Championship and FA Cup. Saturday - a date that will forever resonate with Tottenham Hotspur.
