Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I come onto this thread to cheer myself up, away from the doom and gloom.
I usually like or love the photo, but not this one. Unfortunately, I have the memory of an elephant when it comes to the past, and I remember the angst when these two left. The fact they were allowed back did not endear me to either of them, same as Keane and Bale.
Boy, I can bear a grudge!
The grudge should always be focused on the leadership of the club. Both Jurgen and Teddy loved the club and wanted to stay but we were directionless under Sugar, falling further and further behind. Similar to Kane leaving. Bale was a bit different, he never loved the club and Real was his dream.
 
there's a very good documentary on him on iplayer. A series of 6 or so, legends of the game in Scotland. Such a shame that he and Keith B fell out. Fergie was his manager at Aberdeen where his career really took off.

There's also one on Richard Gough but I hvent seen that one yet.
I'll have to check it out.
I think I've told this story before but a group of us went to the opening of his pub off Roman Road (can't remember the name of it). Not only were the players there, we also had a performance from Chas 'n Dave. Went there a bit later for my birthday and his dad rang him up and we had a lovely chat. Can you imagine that happening now?

True.......... we've had some 💩 leading our Club, even those who proclaim themselves as Spurs supporters. And I get players don't feel the same way as supporters do, it's their careers that have to come first. But I still don't have the same affection for those players as I do for those who stayed. For me, supporting Spurs has nothing to do with reason and logic, it's all about the heart and feelings, poor sap that I am. :)

Saw them both today, enjoyed them, especially Archie's one, probably because we won stuff with him and he was at the Club longer.
Thanks for the tip. :)
