TOTTENHAM double-winning legend Terry Medwin has died aged 91.
The former Welsh international winger arrived at the North London club in 1956 from Swansea City.
He achieved icon status during the next seven years at Tottenham with the highlight being the First Division and FA Cup double under Bill Nicholson in 1961.
Spurs broke the sad news of his death on social media today.
A statement said: “The Club is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of our former player, Terry Medwin.
“Terry was part of our double-winning side in 1961 and made 215 appearances in all competitions, scoring 72 goals.
“Our thoughts are with Terry’s family and friends at this impossibly sad time.”
Medwin made his debut for hometown club Swansea in the 1951/52 season.
He went on to play almost 150 times in the Football League for them before Spurs paid £25,000 for him in 1956.
The attacker got off to a dream start by scoring twice on his debut in a 4-1 win over Preston.
He played a huge role in the double-winning side five years later and even more success was to follow.
Medwin lifted the Charity Shield that same year before Spurs retained the FA Cup.
Another Charity Shield followed in 1962 before Nicholson led Tottenham to Uefa Cup Winners’ Cup joy in 1963.
Medwin remained a regular until he suffered a broken leg that forced his retirement that same year.
He also enjoyed an impressive career on the international stage.
Medwin represented Wales at the 1958 World Cup, where he scored the winner in the first round play-off that sent them into the quarter-finals.
