Pat Jennings recognised in New Year Honours list

Sat 31 December 2022, 11:05|Tottenham Hotspur

Pat Jennings has been appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2023 New Year Honours list.

Our iconic former goalkeeper, already a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE, 1976) and Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE, 1987), has received the honour for services to association football and charity.

Now 77 years of age, Pat joined us from Watford in 1964, played until 1977, returned briefly in 1985 and has been a coach and goalkeeping consultant since 1993 – indeed, he still works with our Academy goalkeepers on a part-time basis to this day, while remaining a regular face at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on matchdays.

Third behind Steve Perryman (854) and Gary Mabbutt (611) in our list of all-time appearances with 590, he helped us win the FA Cup in 1967, the League Cup in 1971 and 1973 and the UEFA Cup in 1972. He also scored against Manchester United in the 1967 Charity Shield, was named Football Writers’ Footballer of the Year in 1973, PFA Player of the Year in 1976 and won a then world-record 119 caps for Northern Ireland between 1964 and 1986.

The New Year Honours List recognises the achievements and service of extraordinary people across the UK.

We should like to congratulate Pat on his latest honour.
