		Robert Dennis Blanchflower, popularly known as Danny, was born in Dunraven Park, in the Bloomfield district in the east end of Belfast, on 10 February 1926.

		Blanchflower refused to play along with the official line that he was injured and made it clear he had been dropped.

	Spurs Odyssey - The Double Season - Introduction
		Blanchflower had a reputation for being a bit of a rebel as he had not seen eye to eye with his managers at Barnsley and Aston Villa.
		Blanchflower responded by demanding a transfer as he was coming to the end of his playing career and reserve team football was no good to him.
		Before the match, Jimmy Adamson pointed out to Danny Blanchflower that Burnley had never lost a match at Villa Park in their normal playing strip, knowing full well they could never use it because of a clash of colours with Villa's.

	Player Profile- Danny Blanchflower - BigSoccer
		Blanchflower was a player who knew his own mind, and in a time of disciplinarian mangers his opinions were not always welcome.
		Blanchflower was initially close to joining Arsenal but after that move broke down, Spurs stepped into to snatch him for a fee of £30,000, a record for a half-back at the time.
		Blanchflower was the man at the centre of most of it and was duly recognised as the player of 1960/1 by the Football Writers’ Association, becoming only the second man to win the award twice after Tom Finney.

	Danny Blanchflower
		A deep thinker on and off the field, Danny Blanchflower was the creative hub for the great Tottenham Hotspur side of the early 1960s.
		As captain and principal play-maker for Spurs, Blanchflower made history in 1961 by guiding the White Hart Lane club to the first League/Cup double of the 20th century; a string of other trophies included the 1963 European Cup-Winners' Cup.
		On retierment, Blanchflower became a highly respected and forthright writer on football, then made an ill-starred attempt at management (with Chelsea) in 1978.

	Phil Beal Cool, Calm & Sure
		When the great Danny Blanchflower was coming to the end of his career in 1963-64, a young defender had to step up from the Reserves to fill his boots.
		He made his first team debut in 1963 away to Aston Villa and went on to make 16 appearances for the first team that season which was the first season, for four years that Spurs had not won a trophy.
		Blanchflower had retired by the start of the following season and it was inevitable that the crowd would make comparisons between Danny and Phil.

		Thus she finds herself sharing a car with her former hero Danny Blanchflower (the ex-Spurs star in a one-off cameo).
		Cue a series of flashbacks in which Julia (played by Nathenson as a girl) recalls events from 1961 - the year when her life was inextricably bound up with the fortunes of Spurs, and the year the team itself made soccer history by winning both the League and the FA Cup.
		(The young Danny Blanchflower, incidentally, is played by John Salthouse, himself a former Crystal Palace pro and best remembered now as dolorous Tony in Abigail's Party.) A treat for regulars at White Hart Lane, but also a very English tale of emotional awakening that manages to transcend its subject matter.

	screenonline: Those Glory Glory Days (1983)
		Julia's ardent passion for the game (and Danny) is conveyed in her clandestine use of radios announcing fixtures, in her initiation ceremony with Toni's gang at White Hart Lane, and more unusually, in unexpected fantasy sequences.
		These highlight the strength of Julia's feelings, as when she imagines Blanchflower as "God in a Spurs shirt," or visualises herself coaching the team post-match in a huge dressing room bath.
		Contemporary critics complained of the caricatured nature of the performances, particularly with regard to the adult characters, but the tone feels appropriate to a light-hearted examination of a teenage girl's all-consuming obsession.

		"You're throwing money away," I said, a view enthusiastically endorsed by the former Tottenham Hotspur and Northern Ireland captain, Danny Blanchflower, who had been hired by the television network CBS to work with clueless commentators, providing technical insights.
		Much to the annoyance of his employers and those who had invested in the great adventure, Blanchflower was more whimsical than supportive, constantly serving up jokes about the creaking efforts of veteran European imports, most of whom were playing from memory.
		Things came to a head when Blanchflower remarked upon the escape of a Falcon from a centre-field perch in the Toronto stadium.
