I will never forget his debut for Spurs in 1964 against Sheffield United (I think). United had a corner from the right hand side and as the ball was delivered into the box, Jennings leapt like a salmon , head and shoulders above everybody else, and with his right arm fully stretched pulled the ball out of the air and tucked it under his arm in a single movement, it was like poetry in motion. Alas there were no cameras to capture the action. Brilliant keeper.
the best goalkeeper ever to play the game use to keep Spurs up every season on his own Why oh why did they sell him to Arsenal its 38 years since that happened , and I still have not got over it
My favorite goal keeper of all time!!! A true gentleman of the game and never saw him play a bad game!!! Best save i have ever seen was his one handed catch from a cross by my beloved QPR Team ...... can still see it in my mind!!! Big Jim New Zealand!!!
I remember as a little kid Gordon Banks, Pat Jennings, Ray Clemence, Phil Parkes, Peter Shilton.....my god they were good. (Today I heard the news Clem passed away, RIP)
I love Arsenal and for me is not a problem to be Spur or Gunner, great keeper, great footballer, a gentleman, simply the best Pat, long life to you!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Pat is the reason that I have supported Tottenham all my life. Pat is from Newry and I went to school in Newry and when we beat Chelsea 2.1 in FA Cup final in 1967 I was hooked. Broken hearted when he joined Arsenal in 1977. Bad mistake by Keith Burkinshaw but I think I sort of understand his reasoning. Delighted when Pat came back to Spurs and he is now a club ambassador. Jimmy Greaves and him are my two favourite Spurs players of all time and Martin Chivers and we’ll throw in Glenn Hoddle as well. There are so many more!!
I remember him well from world cups in my (continental) youth (early 80's). Although Northern Ireland never played a big role in world football (no offence intended) it was always a delight to watch him, a remarkable goalkeeper, and that at a fairly advanced age, too. Very nice video clip, thanks for posting.
Well they sold off Jimmy Greaves and there was at least 5 more seasons left in him and plenty more goals. The same with Pat Jennings , he had such high standards, but he was signed to Arsenal and was brilliant there . As for Jimmy Greaves going to West Ham was the downward slide to being an alcoholic and the lost years 😞
Also a very good keeper for Arsenal at £40.000 the sale of the century, i went to his testimonial at Highbury when he still played for Arsenal about 1984 or 1985 about 40000 fans attended including about 10000 spurs fans, if i remember right Liam Brady played for both sides that night as a guest player.
The reason pat Jennings come to arsenal was because he lived in the Hertfordshire area and was settled and it would mean he would have to move so Terry Neil got in touch he could of gone to Aston villa or Ipswich but out of the blue he had a call for Terry Neil I think he liked Terry Neil when Terry Neil was the spurs manager could also be the northern Ireland connection
He considers himself Irish though, he's from the same town as me in northern Ireland and 95 percent if us consider ourselves Irish not British although he played for northern Ireland football team

Always a great goalkeeper
Pat Jennings went to my school. St Joseph's boys highschool in Newry. My granda played Gaelic with him 👌
My favourite goalie growing up... and all he did was sometimes with no fancy gloves.
Pat jenningsjusta legend
Nobody comes close as our No 1 keeper. When we were kids we would try the one handed catch! Even when he went to that mob we still loved him!
World's best.
Should never have sold him. He was the best goalkeeper we've ever had. The board should have been booted out for selling him.
Well they sold off Jimmy Greaves and there was at least 5 more seasons left in him and plenty more goals.

easily in the top 3 goalkeepers of all time
Also a very good keeper for Arsenal at £40.000 the sale of the century, i went to his testimonial at Highbury when he still played for Arsenal about 1984 or 1985 about 40000 fans attended including about 10000 spurs fans, if i remember right Liam Brady played for both sides that night as a guest player.
the worlds best goalkeeper
+Mark christmas Was going to post the same. All this arguing over Irish or British! Pat was up there with Yashin, Banks, Schmeichel etc
+1961Blanchflower jennings was the best
+1961Blanchflower up the spurs
He lives in Newry, County Down. I live about 1mile from where he grew up
i fa cup 1967 league cup 1971 uefa cup 1972 league cup 1973 fa cup 1979 well done pat
Gordon Banks said Clemence is good Shilton is better but Jennings is the best he's ever seen that says it all really.
I feel like ramming the current crop of overpaid upstarts what being professional and gentleman means...
Pat Jennings is the epitome of that.
how did he make that save with one hand? brilliant
Patsinged apicture for me in a arsenal team and singer both books about tottenham and arsenal players

A few years back pat Jennings was doing a talk in welham green hertfordshire
A disgrace that he was allowed to leave the club..... The directors snubbed him when he was saying goodbye...... DISGRACEFUL !!
Can I know the name of the background music ? Thank you
pat Jennings is my ungel
lukeskywalkerisback oh hi luke
What is an ungel? An Irish uncle?
Maybe the greatest British goalkeeper
not british
+Ciarān Carvill he played for northern ireland so british
He considers himself Irish though, he's from the same town as me in northern Ireland and 95 percent if us consider ourselves Irish not British although he played for northern Ireland football team
dont matter hes british
+David Dean nope, he isn't
The best goalkeeper I've ever seen. If he'd been English they would have won the World Cup 3 or 4 times in a row.
