    Yes, I think he was. In 2002 he gave £1m from his game between Ireland and Sunderland.

    Bournemouth v Spurs pre-season

    Not sure if it's been announced yet, but I have it on good authority that Spurs will be playing Bournemouth in pre-season once again this season.

    Testimonial

    If we're talking testimonials, Morris Keston is the man. He's organised over 20 testimonials for Spurs players, plus ones for Bobby Moore, Geoff Hurst and Gordon Banks. It's all in his book 'Superfan', including how only two clubs out of the six who were asked wanted to be involved in Jimmy...

    Pat Jennings book signing tomorrow

    Tottenham's best-ever goalkeeper Pat Jennings will be joining legendary fan Morris Keston at Waterstones in Enfield this Saturday from 1.30pm to sign copies of the book 'Superfan'. In the seventies, while still a Spurs player, Jennings actually played a few games for Stoke! As Michael Caine...

    Paul Gascoigne on Twitter

    Interesting story in the Daily Mail today. Apparently, some fool has been impersonating Gazza on Twitter - even Gazza's daughter Bianca and mate Callum Best were taken in. Gazza challenged the imposter and has now set up his own real Twitter account. He's got 250 followers already! You can...

    New Home Shirt?

    Love it, but wish the cockerel was in the middle and there was no sponsor. If I win the Euromillions, I'll give Mr Levy £5m to keep Holsten off the front and keep it plain. It would be a fitting 30th anniversary tribute to Ossie & Ricky and Boys.

    Loans, loans, loans.

    A player contract system and capping is just all talk at the moment. I can see it happening, but when? I like the system they have in the MLS and that could be the way to go, but until then clubs will continue to use the current loan system to gain the upper hand on their opponents before...

    Loans, loans, loans.

    All these loan deals in the Premier League are making a mockery of the original intention of the loan system. It used to be to give young or out-of-favour players the opportunity to play competitive football and loans were usually made to clubs in lower divisions. I know top-flight clubs today...

    Memories of Erik Thorstvedt

    You're right, he is a big fan of Gomes. He was praising our keeper in an email I received a couple of days ago. Unfortunately, the email came a bit too late to add his quotes to a story I wrote for the Feb issue of Hotspur - out this week. Tony Parks and Big Pat were full of praise for Gomes...

    Memories of Erik Thorstvedt

    I wonder if anyone out there can help. I'm writing a story about Erik the Viking for the Hotspur mag. The Norwegian's first clean sheet for Spurs came at The Dell, Southampton, in February 1989. We played in yellow and it rained for most of the match. We won 2-0 with goals from Waddle and a...

    Spurs goalkeeper kits

    I'm doing an article on Spurs goalkeepers for Hotspur magazine. As a side bar to the story, I'd like to do a top 5 Spurs goalkeeper kits. I'm not a collector of such attire, but is there anyone out there happy to shed some light on the fans' favourite keeper jerseys over the years. Personally, I...

    "Dawson could go to World Cup" says Venables

    I'm not sure if this has made the newspapers, apologies if it has. Morris Keston says on his Twitter page that Terry Venables believes Michael Dawson could make it into Capello's World Cup squad. I spoke to Morris this morning and he elaborated saying that he spoke to Venables this morning...

    Europa League, another competition devalued

    Couldn't agree more. I interviewed Paul Miller for the Hotspur magazine and he made a good point about the UEFA Cup. When Spurs won it 1984, they beat some really great teams along the way. In fact, about a dozen clubs in the competition that year went on to win their respective domestic leagues...
