1999. Before Tottenham Hotspur were saved by the risen bookkeep, Daniel ‘‘You know what this place is missing? Food courts!’ Levy’.
Shirt out. Marks and Spencer vest beneath. Ball at his feet. Drops a shoulder. Feints, Dink. Ball in the onion bag. Halcyon days.
1999 is a stark reminder to those that bandy the word ‘compete’ about in 2019.
Competing isn’t registering, turning up and having a go – subject to other more financially lucrative options.
Competing is doing your bloody best to win.
History remembers winners. Everyone else lost.
Tottenham didn’t win the FA Cup in 1999. However they did win the League Cup.
That’s right, they were alive and kicking in not one, but two domestic competitions in the same season.
It must have been dream. No more cheese for me this weekend.
?They flutter behind you your possible pasts
Some bright-eyed and crazy, some frightened and lost…
