This week, I had the absolute pleasure of talking to former Tottenham Hotspur player and current Ireland U18 and Nottingham Forest U23 coach, Andy Reid, on Last Word On Spurs.
We talked about his time at the club; playing in the North London Derby; Troy Parrott and Jamie Bowden; and his thoughts on Daniel Levy, Martin Jol, Frank Arnesen, Mauricio Pochettino and Jose Mourinho.
Listen again here:
On this day, 29 years ago, Paul Gascoigne, Gazza, scored one of the greatest goals in Spurs’ history.
On 14th April 1990, Gascoigne’s free-kick was the opening goal in a 3-1 FA Cup semi final win over Arsenal. His six goals in the competition that year helped Tottenham to a FA Cup win – to date, our last.
It would prove to be his last great act in a Spurs shirt after injuring himself just 15 minutes into the Final. Gascoigne ruptured his cruciate ligaments with a terrible tackle on Nottingham Forest’s Gary Charles, an injury that kept him out for the entire 1991-92 season.
Spurs, under huge financial pressure, eventually sold him for £5.5 million to Lazio the following summer.
