I remember being a youth and listening to that I'm the radio too via my walkman as me and some of my tearaway pals ran rampage around our village (by rampage I mean ordering big mac and fries via ppls intercoms - real gangsterstuff). Those were dark days indeed.
Still, I wore my purple pony Tottenham bag to school with pride, I took a lot of hits but I'd take them all over again, as when we succeed it will mean so much more than it did to my glory supporting pals.

We had some good times against United though, like ending that Prunier's career as we smashed them on NYD in 96. Carr with his missile in 99. Of course there was also that FA Cup draw against them when we had no one fit so threw the unstoppable force of Rory Allen and Neale Fenn up top

A few random 90s memories:
Gudni Bergsson never quite lived up to my expectations (which was essentially - he's foreign, so must be an exotic superstar).
I've got a vague memory of Jason Cundy scoring a 50 yard freak goal (possibly against Ipswich).
I thought Andy Turner was going to become as big a star as Barmby, and thought Barmby was going to become as big a star as Gazza.
I also have a (somewhat dubious) memory of Vinny Sideways eventually turning into quite a good midfielder towards the end of his career with us.
Nayim becoming a true Spurs legend...after he joined Zaragoza.
The famous Anderton/Sheringham corner combination.
Popescu!
Judas scoring on his debut against Chelsea.
Gary 'Phantom of the Opera' Mabbutt.
Klinsmania.
Ian Walker's curtains.
Being convinced that we were going to sign Papin because of a Teletext rumour.
Also more generally, listening to most of our games on the radio and being ten times more stressed than actually watching the game.

There used to be regular dinner and dances that the players would attend. I remember one where Jose Dominguez (he plays on the wingez) walked in, and all the women went 'Ahh', like you would if a puppy came in. lol
At the dinner and dance not long before he left, I had a chat with his for about 20 minutes. He was totally fed up with the way the team was playing and just wanted out of it. I did my best to persuade him to stay, but to no avail. ;-)
He was, very underrated IMHO. He also suggested I lay across his lap when I asked for a picture with him at the dinner and dance!

That lineker goal against Porto 91/92 probably up there as my favourite goal. Fantastic one touch move. I remember being gutted by not signing Mahdi mahdavikia and being excited about Moussa Saib, tremazani and Berti(my expectations were very low then). Listening to games on Capitol gold.
My first Spurs match (I was young) was watching the reserves play Bristol Rovers at Yate Town (my local club). All I remember about the game was Ronnie Rosenthal looking like a fat Maradona and getting Espen Baardsens gloves after the game!
I still have one of them, somewhere, to this day - my cat pissed on the other one and I had to bin it - possibly not a bad metaphor for what it was like supporting Spurs in the 90's!!

Yeah one of my first memories as a kid going to Spurs from seven sisters seeing that on the walk down.

I've blanked most of it out. Well, either that or the dementia has finally done me a solid.
The 80's were where it was at and it all started to go tits for us when Pleat went looking for business up Stamford Hill. I reckon some of the chanting that went on as a matter of routine (especially the United one) would have pretty much all todays younger fans astonished.

I was 11 when we won the FA Cup in 1991, I'd been a Spurs fan for 4 years at that point... it was amazing, the team was full of boyhood heroes like Lineker, Gazza, Mabbs, Allen, Big Erik. Little did I know that I would then spend the rest of my teens being progressively disappointed... If it wasn't for players like Teddy, Anderton and of course Daveed, I think I may have just sacked it off and stuck with Scunny Utd.
