Unfortunately the guy he visited yesterday died last night, but at least Mabbs made his last wish come true, what a man.

You have to factor in the disadvantage Mabbutt had in even playing the game....
He has diabetes FFS... Kane has a speech impediment!
I love them both, but until I see Kane with the FA Cup in his arms, Mabbs is always gonna be the ultimate 'Against The Odds' footballer for me!
Great read BTW!
Best of luck. Legend.
Legend.
The ultimate professional. Richard Gough in the background, making that 1986-87, otherwise known as “the year I properly fell in love with Spurs”Legend.
He was awesome in defence against Woolwich in 91 semi at wembley. Finest hour and the ultimate when we won that and then lifted the trophy a month later.
That was a great side. If only Richard Gough had stayed a few seasons longer.
Agreed. Our timing was really unlucky - it was just before the great 1980’s Liverpool team declined, but before the rise of Ferguson’s Utd. Had we peaked between the scousers falling away and the Ferguson years it might have been a very different last 3 decades

Imagine any modern players doing this today and nobody really knowing about it..?
They'd insist on 1 million followers on their Instawank Sympathy/Go Fund Me Twat-Tok page first!!
He was a great player. As someone said earlier he’s not mentioned in the same terms as Hoddle,Ardiles and Clive but what a player. I remember talking to Richard Gough about him years back and he said he was an unbelievable leader to have about the dressing room. 86/87 team is still my favourite Tottenham team that he was in.
Without Gary Mabbutt; Sol Campbell would never have made it as a professional footballer.
Campbell was quite possibly one of the worst young centre forwards to ever come through from the youth team.
He was quick, strong and athletic but that was about it.
Fucking rubbish is under stating it.
No first touch, passing or shooting ability.
Couldn't read the game.
Mabbutt baby sat the twat through various stints at right back, left back and eventually centre back until he was semi competent.
Sugar was as tight as Levy when it came to paying for decent players.

A gentleman of the highest order, nice guys do make it.
Yes , yes we doA gentleman of the highest order, nice guys do make it.
That’s the only reason I knew I could say it and get away with itI haven't met you, so I couldn't possibly comment!
Fucking hell... Are you saying that the whole Sol Campbell mess is MABBUTT'S FAULT?
little fucker....
Sol shoulda been our John Polston/Guy Butters... then no one woulda batted an eyelid!
But cos Mabbsey had to go and fucking get involved, WE lost virtually an entire decade of Spurs supporting football enjoyment!
Does he even realise the implications of what he did, helping that Judas cunt in the first place??
