As we prepare to welcome our former manager back to White Hart Lane a brief look at his time at the club.
A period that brought a couple of tremendous highs with the  crushing 5-1 win over Arsenal followed by the League Cup triumph when we beat Chelsea in the Final.
He also oversaw our worse ever start in the League.

Rohan Rickets has played for Tottenham Hotspur and in the I-League. Becoming somewhat of a footballing nomad along the way. He started at Arsenal and despite playing for England at U18 and U20 levels and twice winning the FA Youth Cup he only played one first team game in the League Cup. The midfielder then become one of the few players to travel the length of the Seven Sisters road joining Spurs in 2002. Since then he has played around the world and has strong views on India and its footballing future.
Today we look at the journey that took him from North London to Goa and beyond.

Jimmy Greaves

Every kid in our schoolyard wanted to be Jimmy Greaves, even the West Ham boys.
Such was the esteem he was held in back in those days. It might have been 20 a side but whoever scored they yelled out ‘Greaves gets another.’
He was simply the best striker I’ve ever seen. In full flight he resembled a big cat chasing down its prey. The ease of movement, no energy wasted here was a goal machine at its peak.

Once again with International boarders emerging and changing in recent years we have only met Ukrainian opposition once before in competition. However we did play in the country when it was still part of the Soviet Union and a Ukrainian has played for Spurs.
There has also been a couple of links in the international arena with one Spur scoring for England and one Spur playing at the Dnipro stadium.

The Colossus of Tottenham

Maurice Norman was born in Norfolk in 1934 and so will celebrate his 80th birthday in a few weeks. Signed by Jimmy Anderson he joined us from Norwich City in 1955. Costing us £18,000 plus winger Johnny Galvin going the other way. He became a key member of the team during that golden era of the early 1960’s and if not for injury would have been in the England World Cup team of 1966.

Some of his performances were so masterful the press compared him to the ‘Colossus at Rhodes’.

You might be wondering why there is a futuristic picture on a column that normally tends to trip through the archives. I expect you have seen over the last week that the Secretary of State is expected to make a decision soon on Haringey Councils plan to compulsory purchase some properties near White Hart Lane and thus help move the new stadium a little closer. Therefore it seems a suitable moment to look back at "The Lane" and a few moments in its history.

Fantasy preview GW25 - GW29

FPL preview
The EPL is entering it's business end of the season and so too is the fantasy premier league. Small but crucial decisions will determine winners of private leagues. Take a good look at the detailed preview of the next 5 GWs as predicted by the meticulous observations of our experts to give your FPL team a real shot in the arm.There has been a trend this season of central defenders receiving a large share of the bonus points due to the modifications in the BP scoring system. A good defense + GK can be a reliable bet of getting a decent amount of points. Also unlike attacking which needs individuals to contribute (and thus the best attackers are expensive), defensive contributions are a team effort which means that you can pick the cheapest playing defender in a team and he'll generally get points similar to his teammates (highly unlikely in attack).
Thus, the main concentration in this post will be building a great defense and then picking up the best attackers you can afford.

Connections - Italy, part two

In the second part of our look at some of Tottenham’s Italian connections we hope to complete ’The Italian Job’ starting with a few of the links at international level. Of course ‘The Italian Job’ is a great title and a great film, and is set against the backdrop on a Italy V England game in Turin. Where England have actually played Italy four times. When we think of our international connections the one that springs to mind is ‘Italia 90’ which will be remembered for Gascoigne and Lineker and the semi-final with Germany.

Italy are the next country to come under the microscope as we explore some of that countries connections with Tottenham Hotspur.

Considering that this season is our 20th European campaign (1). We haven’t been drawn with Italian opposition too often. We certainly have met them on a number of other occasions in various parts of the world.

Flying Down to Rio, Flight four

This trip we are going back to the beginning and one very small link to Tottenham. The idea of a world tournament was discussed at the first meeting of FIFA in1904. I suspect that none of the delegates realised that when the first competition finally took place 26 years later it would involve unfinished stadiums, a ref who couldn't tell the time and a one armed hero.
