I know Jon really wanted to see these and many thanks to Peter Godfrey for sending them to me, below is what Peter put in his email to me.
Hi Dave ! Here are the programmes for the FA Youth cup matches between Spurs and TUFC. They were just single sheet and are a little fragile now. One of the interesting things about them is the price of season tickets ! My dad wrote in team changes ! The first match at Plainmoor ended 1-1, so we replayed at the Rec. I don't recall if there was a match programme - I certainly haven't got one. Anyway, it was 0-0 this time, though Spurs had a penalty for handball; I took it and scored but the ref hadn't blown so he ordered it to be re-taken. This time I put it wide but he ordered it to be re-taken yet again,because the keeper moved, I think. This time our skipper, Eddie Stentiford, possibly acting on instructions from Bill Anderson, told Mike Courtier to take it, probably thinking I was a nervous wreck by now ! Anyway, Mike put it wide too so it was back to Plainmoor again. This time we won 2-1, with goals from Russell Dore and Mike Courtier, to land ourselves a tie at Yeovil, the old Huish ground, slope and all. We won 2-1 again, but I can't remember much about the game, including the scorers. Then we were home to Bournemouth and perhaps a bit unlucky not to win. I remember hitting the bar with a cross. Again I'm not sure there was a match programme. So we went up to Dean Court for the replay. I seem to remember Bournemouth took this seriously and strengthened their side, possibly with a couple of apprentices. They duly won 3-0 and the Spurs management treated us all to fish and chips on the way home ! I do have the programme for this game and can send it if you wish. So you know where I am - I wonder where the other guys are now !!

A fish n' chip win bonus eh Pete! Just a few years later things weren't quite so luxurious and it had reduced to a Cornish Pasty in Lostwithiel (excellent though they always were!) on the way home from locations like Penzance, Nanpean and Wadebridge ~ although come to think of it we never won anywhere, so they weren't "win bonuses" ;D
