When Spurs were humbled in the Highlands

Peter McWilliam was the Scottish manager who masterminded Tottenham Hotspur's 1921 FA Cup triumph only to be humbled in his own backyard when he brought his team of stars home to the Highlands.

McWilliam was born on Argyle Street in Inverness and his playing career began at his hometown club Thistle, before moving to Newcastle United and the Scottish national team.

But Peter the Great, as he was named by some, sustained an injury that brought his playing days to a premature end and he was promptly installed as manager of Spurs in 1912.

It was here he assembled a team modelled on a possession-based style that had originated in Scotland.
