My love for Spurs was passed down to me from my Dad. When I started school at about 4 or 5 I got into football, like most boys that age do. Around this time my Grandad (on my Mum’s side) came round with an old West Ham kit that he’d got from a charity shop […]
One of the main things I love about Tottenham football club is the aura of class it has. Or maybe it’s not just class, perhaps ‘pride’ is a more appropriate word. We are proud of our history, proud of the way we play football, we try to do things our own way (some might call […]
At times like this it is opportune to reflect upon a number of things. Many have spoken about the phantom goal, a few have pointed out we were in the ascendancy before our opponents went one-up yesterday and could have taken the lead and others have focused upon the choices made by the manager in […]
If Harry Redknapp was to leave tomorrow for the England job, I don’t think a single Spurs fan would begrudge him for it. If he leaves now, or in the summer, or even next summer, he will be a hero in my books. He’s given me my first good memories of Spurs, bar the rare […]

Despite Gareth Bale’s PFA plaudits, the little Croatian thoroughly deserved the honour, leading to a summer of “will he […]
If one thing has been made clear by Spurs’ late-season drama, it’s that Tottenham’s impressive starting XI is being propped up by a group of squad players that leaves a lot to be desired. Now don’t get me wrong: the likes of Defoe, Kranjčar, Rose, Livermore and company have performed admirably this season — and […]
By Flav You can’t start writing about White Hart Lane without thinking about what happened to Fabrice Muamba only a few days before. I was at the game and saw it happen. It was grim, and I’ll never forget it. I approached this game against Stoke philosophically. Whatever happened wouldn’t really matter, not really in […]
