“I would like to thank Joe Lewis and Daniel Levy for giving me the opportunity to be part of Tottenham Hotspur’s history.
“I would like to thank also everyone I met at Tottenham, all the club staff and the football players during these five and a half years.
“Finally I would like to give a special mention to the fans who make this club so great with their fantastic support.
“I gave the best of me to accomplish the objectives I was asked or in our first meeting. There were equally tough challenges as exciting success.
“Best wishes for the future, I am sure we will cross paths again.”

😊
Why will we have to wait 40 years?!
When you feel better…
“Corporate man juice towel” are we? I know man that would say to you “say that again” I’d say leave him alone man he’s nuts.
😂
My dad played for an amateur club back in the day.
Used to force me to play cricket in the back garden with a tennis ball, so he could practice his bowling. Like trying to dodge spinning bullets, the sadist.
Would throw his toys out if I smashed it a few doors down. Very satisfying.
Dad get me a SS jumbo please. “You cyan swing dat bat!? Got one eventually
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nothing worse than hearing your dad mutter,
”They’re following on”.
Yep. 😁
😂 “shut up! I’m trying to watch the cricket😂😂 west indies. Clive Lloyd and the man dem
Too many bad childhood memories of my dad hogging the telly for days on end.
Not 100 ball cricket. Swing the bloody bat. This is the best thing to ever happen to that old game. You will see kids playing it again soon. I loved PLAYING that game as a yout with a dustbin as the wicket😁
I’ll leave the cricket to my dad though. Too long winded for me.
100 ball cricket
Living bredrin “living.
Nice bottle of Primitivo and a thick slice of Telaggio as Sonny bags his first hatrick.
Shangri-la.
Then talk about it all with my lady on the pillow
Then after the match more wine and cheese then watch some 100 over cricket. For me this is “living
For me. Sipping some fine wine with some fine cheese in a plough mans lunch with friends then watch my team bury a team woulda been “living.
When can I get up?
He left because Levy didn’t back his cheese room request.
Woy of the Wanderers!
The Woolwich Wanderers.
You heard it here first 😉
Instead of strengthening their Defence and midfield they oddly shelved out £70m on the underwhelming Peppe. Ouch!
No but I’d take Lacazette.
Wern’t we once linked to this this Bowen geezer regularly knocking in the goals for Hull. Is he any good??
Like Sheff Utd no big egos in the side.
I’m amazed Dyche hasn’t been snapped up by a bigger club yet. He’s been performing minor miracles with Burnley for years now.
Perhaps not a big enough brand name but I would have taken him at Spurs
You’re talking PL2 side right.
Ditto Eddie Howe and Dyche
Poch too big for a one pitch club😂
or is it Tolleria what ever
Could he do that with big personality players though at a club with high expectations?
Torreira
Aubameyang?
Lucozade?
he is being linked thugh.
Which of the current Arsenal players would get into the Spurs side?
Bit like giving up hope in your kids because the first 20 years of their lives they were naughty and let you down. Madness.
Passionate Chris Wilder has a been a revelation at Sheff Utd making the well organise Baldes hard to beat and playing with some style.
Chris Wilder me thinks at West Ham or Everton.
I have a feeling Sean Dyche might end up at Everton. Would be a good fit for him in my opinion.
And when we do eventually start winning trophies in the next 20 years you not gonna enjoy it coz of the first 20 years?
No talk of Tony Pulis being yet linked to any of the hot seats as he would quickly sort out the slackers in his own inimitable style!!
Poch won’t go to Arsenal. He’ll go to a BIG club.
IMO ashame for the Wolves fans if he leaves as the manager has been an inspiration!
Nuno Santos
West Ham manager next!
Happy Days!
Unai Emery has been sacked as Arsenal manager after 18 months in charge.
*scored the second
Well, even though the Emerites was empty another BT fix conning what little public were there. The manager was going anyway so…..all the usual ingredients, odd team selection, dodgey set piece and after Frankfurt scored for the remaining half an hour Arsenal didn’t have ONE attempt on goal. Time and Time again they’ve chucked games in competition. Joke.
But that club like West Ham and Spurs has just become another corporate sp%$k towel. Scary to see what’s become of that club, this is what happens after you miss out on top 4, empty barron soulless nothing. All that to come for ENIC fc.
Still clutching at straws after 20 years of ENIC? It ain’t for me…
Clearly someone wrote this for him. Not one single ‘massive’ in the entire statement.
But I wish him well, outside of the EPL preferrably
As long as he still ‘Feels Like A Winner ‘ , then thats all that matters .
The funny thing is it seems like the players want to win something… and guess what? So does the club.. and so do some fans… and the empty trophy cabinet will be impressed on a scale of 10.
Kensington
Just to think was signed him from Bristol Rovers, rejecting advances from Man Utd on 3 occasions fully pledging his loyalty to Spurs
*Mabbs second most appearances for Spurs
Nice one, always love listening to Mabbas, second most capped player for Spurs behind Steve Perryman.
No. But getting there
Surely not as bulky as Razor Ruddock?!
Saw him at the Bayern battering. He’s fat now
Admittedly Rock star, Suzanne Vaga was better which did not take much!
Or Ramon Vega…
True. Hang on John Chidozee (who?)
Yep, not affected by riches very modest guy and astute enough to negotiate his own contracts
The rest of the 90’s was such a bleak decade apart from the Mickey Mouse cup.
Tony Galvin got a Degree in Russian. Not many people know that!
Has he still got that beetle?
My partner, Joyce’s favourite player, speaks 5 languages!
Micky the “black rat” driver.
Yeah, think Jurgen should’ve dived out of the way 😉
Vinny Sideways !
Micky Hazard
When gazza left Vinny samways upped his game😁
Gazza money saved spurs from bankruptcy
Everybody loved the popular fans favourite EL Tel and yet it was Lord Sugar who was treated as an ogre who a lot to thank him for with the late Robert Maxwell sniffing about arguably saved Spurs from Bankruptcy at the time!
Ouch! 😂😂😂
Dave Makay was great but for me my favourite Spurs legend has always been Jimmy Greaves, was at WHL when he scored that memorable solo goal against Newcastle form the Half way line!. Magnifique
Everything was fine till sugar looked at the books
Yep.
He was a great pundit too. El Tel and Hoddle together were especially fascinating. Two great footballing minds.
He’s still looking really well.
Brilliant manager. Tactical genius.
Wish I’d seen him play for us.
IMO one of the most shocking type GBH incidents, two actually
1. Citeh, Ben Thatcher’s elbowed connection with Pedro Mendes
2. and when I was at Villa Park when Bosnich (not even booked or sent off) completely cleared Klinsmann out bearing dowj on goals carrried off on a stretcher.
Yes before it all turned sour with Lord Sugar I believe he owned a night club called Scribes West.
I did hear about that. Love el tel
Not that I have stayed there but EL TEL currently owns a boutique type Hotel in Alicante, Spain!
Bill nick was captain of our summer cricket team. Pub question I have no clue. I’ll go for el tel as one
Deniss Compton (Arsenal)
Chris Balderstone (Carlisle)
Jim Coombes
Were they??
Pub question, without googling name 3 footballers who have played both football and cricket?
Most of them were good cricketers too
Yep, having been weaned on Spurs from birth the club will always been in my heart.
Legendary Big Pat Jennings, one of the few opposing keepers to have ever received a standing ovation from the Kop at Anfield and was at WHL when he caught Wolves, Ken Wagstaffe’s corner with one hand!!!
Joe Kinnear
Cyri lKnowles
Mike England
Phil Beal
Mullery
Dave MacKay
Jimmy Robertson
Frank Saul
Cliff Jones
Gilzean
Greaves
El Tel
Oooooh. 😊
I was referencing the protective mask Mabbsy had to wear after John Fashanu elbowed him in the face. It made him look like the Phantom of the Opera.
You’re lucky to have experienced such a truly magical Spurs era.
No doubt sending Chelsea down in ’75 towards the end of such a torrid season was great too.
You lost me at “fash. I haven’t seen phantom of the opera. Could a once when Michael Crawford was in it but never
Those cups are snacks. I want a meal. But. If Jose can bring three open top busses to Tottenham in three years I’ll forgive him and move on to the next one. Poch ready to come back yet
Dart player?
John or Justin?😁
He’s not a bad table tennis player. Got couple decent serves on him
