Trying to work out the players on this
12 from memory was Saltari or something.
8 (or infinity) should be Jenas?)
30/28?
5 should be davids from the shirt..?

Rightish side - carrick
To the left of carrick and with number 26 - king
Bottom right and slightly cut off - Lennon
Top right with number 8 - Mendes
Above the logo - Robbo
Middle number 7 - stalteri
Bottom left with 28 - jenas
One other Jesus above it - young-pyo
Middle one with star- davids
One with number 12 - this it's cerny

Pretty sure this was the 2005-2006

A Friday afternoon topic for you.

do you have any personal memorabilia - what's the story behind it?

My personal piece is a signed Ossie Ardilles "official Singapore supports club" shirt.

Back in early 2010 I was doing the standard around the world finished Uni thing when we landed in Singapore. After months of travelling with one other person you find your evenings revolve around free beer and the Prem as there isn't much left to talk about. Especially when you're saving cash. We stumbled onto a Spurs bar and wandered in. As it was dead at 1pm on a week day we learned if you are a spurs fan you get half price drinks - amazingly you had to prove you were a spurs fan. Due to communication difficulties he pointed at pictures on the wall and naming the players. Haggard signed prints of Ande ton, Mabbatt and Jose Dominigues (spelling) alongside Mido - quite a collection.

After proving my worth the bar man gave us "tickets" to come back the following eve to see the FA cup game - he was amazed to finally meet fans who had been to WHL. This dude was loving it. He also kept talking about Ossie...due to the breach in communication I simply assumed he was talking about his favourite all time player.

We bounced back the following eve to watch the game and the bar was packed. I remember each side of the bar signing shelf side v park line which is greatly assuming no-one had ever been. But trust me these were fans - they hated Man Utd and Chelsea as "that's what most Asian fans pick without knowing the history of football"l. What a place.

After the final whistle (lost to Portsmouth), everyone stayed......and eventually Ossie walked through the door. he had been doing some TV presenting in Kuala Lumpa and stopped into the "official supporters club" for a bit of Q&A. What a guy! Ossie answered the questions like a pro and strung out the questions with dramatic effect. Remember him saying how he shouted at Ricky to pass before 'that' goal. After his QA I scrambled to buy a spurs related top and have a pic of him signing it in front of me.

the shirt, and the printed photo of him signing it, are framed on my bedroom wall. I'll take a pic tonight.

I have a signed ‘Ossie’ top too. I used to work behind the bar at the Brookman’s Park hotel which was run by Martin Chivers and his wife (both really nice). They use to host events which were frequented by numerous footballers, including a number of Spurs legends. I managed to snag a minute to talk with Ossie (he was on the port and quite merry) and he signed my Retro Spurs Top. Chivers took the rip out of me as I had worked there for two years and had never asked for his autograph!

My brother unbeknownst to me left me an Opus Book, Captains edition, it’s a 30kg spurs book with white gloves. Apparently it’s worth a few grand but it’s so bloody big you can’t get it out of the box!! Cheers bruv!

Have my first home match ticket from early 00’s in my parents house, Spurs v Fulham we lost 3-0, loved the experience sticking with us through thick and thin

In the garden I have a planter full of all the turf I gouged out of the White Hart Lane pitch during the 'Finale' pitch invasion, looking a bit worse for wear but still alive. Does grass count as memorabilia?
