I watched this on the iPlayer last night- still there for a week I think.
I thought this was a story of pride for the club, but actually it turns out he was dropped by Spurs after suffering abuse from opposing fans, even though he played as well as anyone but instead of supporting him they didn't want all the hassle and he was left to rot in the reserves before going on to shine for Northampton. It seems more like a shameful episode from our history. He had a miserable life as well in spite of his achievements- it was a depressing watch!
I guess any tributes now are welcome and help make amends but its not a good story for us.
