John Motson from a Grauniad article:

No, I am not a Tottenham fan. I think the reason people sometimes think I support Spurs is because, for a while, they employed me to do the interviews on their telephone services.
"Most clubs had 'Club Call' but Tottenham had 'Spurs Line'. You could dial an 08 number and get me doing an interview with Chris Waddle or one of the other players.
"I commentated on two of Tottenham's Cup Finals in the early 80s - in one there was the famous goal by Ricky Villa. In the 1991 Cup Final they played Nottingham Forest and I had to say: 'I'd better drop out of this because it seems like I've got a vested interest here' - it was the match when Gazza went mad and got carried off."

Interesting to see that Egil "Drillo" Olsen is described as football manager and marxist..But I guess that is not a football-issue.

However, he is at the moment national coach for IRAQ! (And he was member of the official Norwegian supporter club "Friends of Tottenham" while he was in charge at that club that used to be called Wimbledon....)

Sorry if these have already been mentioned but I've seen David Lammy MP for Tottenham and junior minister for something or other, behind goal in Park Lane several times - and Tim Foster, who won Olympic gold with Steve Redgrave about 8 yrs ago, in a Spurs shirt, chain smoking a few years ago against Arsenal when they won the premiership.
