The Dave Clark Five found fame as resident band at the Tottenham Royal, at the time North London’s most famous dancehall. Dave Clark was very much the leader but unusually, he was the drummer and their thumping, percussive style became known as the “Tottenham Sound”. Yet for some reason, Crystal Palace immediately adopted Glad All Over as their anthem. It’s still played at every home game when Palace run out on to the pitch, when they score and at full time if they win. No one knows why a South London team commandeered this North London sound. But we do know that Tottenham beat Palace 2-0 yesterday. So this morning, it’s Spurs who are feeling glad all over.
Did Spurs re-claim the “Tottenham Sound” yesterday?
