    Tottenham Signed Ricky Villa Photo - Framed Stunning print of Ricky Villa's stroking home the winning goal in the 1981 FA Cup final replay, signed by the Spurs legend. About Ricky Villa, Ricky Villa signed for Tottenham after Argentina's triumph in the 1978 World Cup and the hirsute midfielder was an instant hit with the White Hart Lane faithful after scoring on his debut for the club in an old First Division clash with Nottingham Forest. Tall, elegant and talented, Villa graced the Spurs midfield in a total of 133 league games but it was in the FA Cup that he earned himself a place in Tottenham folklore with arguably the greatest goal in the history of the competition. The year was 1981 and Spurs were facing an FA Cup final replay against Manchester City at Wembley after the two sides had drawn 1-1. Villa had been substituted in the first game and had made little effort to hide his disgust at the decision as he trudged towards the dressing room. Tottenham boss Keith Burkinshaw decided to overlook the Argentinean's outburst and Villa was in the starting line-up for the replay. The midfielder was determined to repay his manager's faith in spectacular style. The game was agonisingly balanced at 2-2 late in the second-half when Villa collected the ball on the edge of the City box but rather than pass, he embarked on a jinking, incisive foray into the area, beating three defenders on the way before slipping the ball past goalkeeper Joe Corrigan. Spurs were the winners and Villa had etched his name into FA Cup history.
