Chas and Dave star Dave Peacock could release new Spurs song if beloved club win Champions League

CHAS AND DAVE star Dave Peacock says a Tottenham Champions League win would be beyond his "wildest dream” - and would tempt him to release another Spurs hit.

The 74-year-old is now going solo following the death of his Cockney duo partner Chas Hodges last year.

His excitement about the big match on Saturday is tinged with sadness because he won’t be able to enjoy it with his old pal.

Huge Spurs fan Dave isn’t travelling to Madrid for the all-English showdown with Liverpool.

He will watch it with 62,000 fans at a sell-out screening at the club’s new £1billion stadium - which he would have done with Chas.

Dave said: “I’m choked he’s not here to witness the Champions League final. I wish he was.

“I’m going up the ground, it will be amazing, I would have watched it with him.

“I think about him all the time, not just about football.”

Dave added: “But he would be thinking the same as all of us. Hoping we can keep Liverpool at bay.

“But we can be good on our day if we rise to the occasion.

“We have to sharpen up and if we do and win it it will be beyond our wildest dreams.”

Ossie’s Dream was all done and dusted in five minutes.

The 80s comedy music legends hits in their heyday included Spurs favourites ‘Ossie’s Dream’ and ‘Glory, Glory Tottenham Hotspur’.

Dave said in February he couldn’t face recording again because he was still too distraught after Chas’ death - but that could now change.

He added: “People keep going on about a song. Never say never. We’ll have to wait and see.”

He said ‘Ossie’s Dream’ - about former Spurs and Argentina star Ossie Ardiles - took just minutes to write.

The 1981 FA Cup song mocked his pronunciation of the club’s name which he called Tott-ing-ham.

Dave recalled: “I heard Ossie on the radio saying ‘Tott-ing-ham’ and I thought is a bit of a hook.

“The manager was Keith Burkinshaw and I thought I’d make them all soldiers marching off to Wembley.

“Ossie’s Dream was all done and dusted in five minutes.”

Praising Tottenham for reaching what was the old European Cup final for the first time in their 137-year history, he said: “It says a lot about Mauricio Pochettino.

“The chairman Daniel Levy hasn’t bought anyone all season.

“But we’ve got to the final which is an amazing achievement I think.”

Chas, also 74, died from pneumonia last September.
He had also been suffering from oesophageal cancer.

Chas and Dave’s other hits included ‘Rabbit’, ‘Snooker Loopy’ and ‘Gertcha’.
