Medwin moved to Tottenham Hotspur for £25,000 in May 1956. He scored twice on his debut in a 4–1 victory over Preston North End at Deepdale in August 1956.

During this period he scored 72 goals in 215 matches in all competitions and helped the club win the Double in 1960–61, and he also appeared for them in the victorious 1962 FA Cup Final. [4]

International career

Medwin represented Wales in the 1958 FIFA World Cup, scoring the game-winning goal in the first round play-off which sent Wales to the quarter-finals.

[5] In total he earned 30 caps and scored 6 goals for Wales [2] from 1953 to 1963.

After retirement

After his playing career ended, Medwin managed Cheshunt, [6] coached at Cardiff City, Fulham, Norwich City and was assistant manager to John Toshack at Swansea. [4] In 1971, he was the trainer of a Wales XI side that toured Asia and Oceania, and which was managed by Dave Bowen. [1]
