Hi to everyone on Spurscommunity. I've been a member of this wonderful website that is a home to so many of us Tottenham fans. I live in the North Of Ireland but spent a lot of my childhood growing up in North London Islington. As you could imagine my English family tried to indoctrinate me into the Arsenal ? family but thankfully my Irish Father had other ideas and when he came back from Job in the Isle of Man every Winter he would bring me to WHL. I was always a very timid and anxious boy afraid of crowds but as time grew I began to love the place and more importantly the fans. My father died when I was very young and my Mum had a terrible accident that left her severely brain damaged. I looked after her 24 hours a day for 20 years but I still was able to fly over to London at least 5 times per year, we had moved back to Ireland after Mums accident. Then just a few years after my Mum passed I started to get sick then really sick. Then came "The News" I was in hospital because they thought I had an infected hip, unfortunately it wasn't, it was stage 4 blood & bone cancer. Anyway after a years worth of chemotherapy and two strokes later here I am. Laying in bed in Belfast playing Fifa 18 on Xbox One, bag packed, match tickets sorted, medications sorted and a letter from my Consultant saying I'm fit to travel. This is probably going to be the biggest game of my life and I can't wait until 5am when I head to the airport. I never thought in a million years would I see my beloved Tottenham play again in the flesh and almost as important is the fans! You guys, I still suffer from anxiety but I've always thought we are a big family and people will always chat to me, even though I have the terrible Belfast accent LOL, we all might not agree with everything that is said on these forums but we all still love the Club and I hope each other. I don't know why I have decided to write this tonight, maybe its just my way of leaving a little bit of me on the forums when the inevitability happens and I hope that over the years I've ran into a few people here a bought them a drink as I've done many times and also had the same generosity back from so many good people at White Hart Lane. I'm truly sorry for the rambling tonight guys, let's hope we get the 3pts and I can make my way up the Tottenham High Road to see our new home. COYS

Keep up the good fight cancer is a mother!

Thank You buddy. As my good friend from The Belfast City Hospital 10 North ward always said to me "Keep that chin up" & "No point worrying about it as you've no control" Unfortunately David didn't make it but by God we all had a great time when the Premier League was on. Great banter ❤

Hang in there to see the New Lane and more victories, and to do whatever you want to do. No matter the result, enjoy the game, mate!

Thank You. Absolutely brilliant you came through it. Its a horrible, hard fight and the Cancer doesn't play by the rules. So glad the treatment worked for you. Much love ❤

Pochettino should read this out in the dressing room before KO. I think we’d win 6-0. Good luck have a safe journey.
