Overview
- Tottenham confirmed Thursday that former winger Terry Dyson has died aged 91 and said he made 209 appearances for the club, scoring 55 goals in all competitions.
- Dyson was a key member of Bill Nicholson's side that completed the 1960–61 First Division and FA Cup double, and he scored in the 1961 FA Cup Final at Wembley.
- He scored twice in Tottenham's 5-1 win over Atletico Madrid in the 1963 European Cup Winners' Cup final, a result that made Spurs the first British club to lift a major European trophy.
- Dyson remains the only Tottenham player to have scored a hat-trick against Arsenal after a 4-3 win in August 1961, and he spent roughly a decade at Spurs between his 1955 arrival and his 1965 departure for Fulham.
- After playing for Fulham, Colchester and Guildford, Dyson stayed involved in football as a referee observer and a regular presence at Spurs' former Mill Hill training ground, leaving a lasting place in club memory.
