Post-management Career
After quitting the Spurs manager's job, Nicholson spent a year at West Ham United as an adviser. When Keith Burkinshaw became Spurs' manager in 1976, one of his first requests was that Nicholson be brought back to White Hart Lane as a consultant. His knowledge and experience were invaluable, and he showed that he still had an eye for players by recommending several to Burkinshaw, including Graham Roberts, Tony Galvin, Gary Mabbutt and Glenn Hoddle. Nicholson continued to work as a consultant until 1991, when he was awarded the title of Club President.
