Talksport: My sporting life Spurs

[thinktank]

If anyone could choose a 'my sporting life' on any Spurs player past or present, who would it be?

Lamela.

Just to find out where the fuck he's been.

Bit weird, but i'd like to hear Rohan Ricketts on there. The guy's had an incredible career, granted not at the top level, but he's still only 31 and i would imagine it would be incredibly interesting to hear his take on so many different nations styles of playing, and what it was that made him decide to go a-wandering.

That's a really good one, he's certainly travelled a bit! I wouldn't mind hearing John Bostock's take on why things went wrong for him after his move from Palace.

Bill Nicholson, no competition.

Yes, definitely, that would have been great. I'd love to hear his views on modern football. Not sure they'd be complimentary.

Daws: "I'm really jealous that Andros got to be an ITV World Cup pundit. Why can't you get me some Brazil work?"

Agent: "I'll see what I can do, Mike..."

Surely Alan Gilzean. 'In Search of Alan Gilzean' was a wonderful book, but the man is a Spurs legend as much as anybody else and has been so alarmingly elusive for decades, I would love to hear his story.

Jol and Pleat could be amusing ones out of all the managers that we've had.

Didn't Gilly show up on the Spurs Show podcasts once or twice last year? True end of a leg.

In his first three seasons with us he ayes nearly every league game. In the following three he played very little due to injury (95-98). In his final six seasons he never failed to play in fewer than 20 of our 38 league fixtures, twice playing more than 30. He had three torrid seasons through injury, seasons which stalled his progression and probably stopped him becoming one of the best footballers of his generation, but it's a total myth that he spent the majority of his spurs career injured and a cruel suggestion that he timed his fitness for World Cup duty.

Only just read this a year and a half after it was posted but it's easily my favourite post of today. Always liked Anderton and nice to read some belated vindication.

Steve was quite scathing re Sugar and his hatchet man Littner.
I have a little story which will illustrate what a pair of wankers they actually were.
I met Littner at a friends house a couple of years before Sugar bought Spurs, and all the boys were naturally talking about football.
I asked Littner who he supported and he told me no one and what's more his knowledge of football could be written on the back of a postage stamp.
During the Sugar era I wrote to him asking him several questions as both a share holder and supporter that I would like him to answer .
The response I got was from Littner telling me what a wonderful job they were doing and I had no right to ask questions to Sugar re the running of the club as my football knowledge was obviously limited and impaired!!!
I responded reminding him of the meeting we had at my friends house and his statement that his football knowledge could be written on the back of a postage stamp, and could I please have a reply from Sugar himself to my letter as he wasn't qualified to do so.
The reply I got was to refer me to his previous letter and that this matter was now closed and they would not enter into any further correspondence.
This just highlights the off handed way these two clowns ran the club, with a hatchet man who was no more then a bean counter in charge of fiancés.
Its no wonder that under their stewardship the clubs progress went back ten years and we are only now beginning to see the light.
