Great to hear from Dazza.

A good reminder of some good and bad times.

When Barmby, Dazza and Teddy formed a really high quality trio and then Klinnsmann came, but again the side was whittled away bit by bit. He said "if only we could have stuck together" and I think that is the main piece of optimism I have nowadays, we are far more resilient and able to keep MOST players we want to keep.

Not surprised to hear our diagnosis of his injuries/hernia was completely wrong and he had to get help elsewhere; I've heard that before.

Interesting Ossie's famous 5 wasn't tooooo crazy until you realise he wanted the full backs to push on too, leaving just 2 at the back. Shame Ossie couldn't have been a bit more balanced.

Excellent stuff G.

Anderton loves a natter. He was good value
 
Thanks for the positive feedback and listens everyone. Yes @Penwith Pete I'm aware - just working out how to change.

New episode out today - its a review of the 89/90 season with Theo Delaney - listen here - https://pod.fo/e/33e1ab to remember the brilliance of Gazza x Lineker, finishing above Arsenal, beating Chelsea, Liverpool and Man Utd though was it actually that glorious a season?
 
Really enjoyed this @90sSpursBook. Great, great job with the interview.

The bit that gave me the biggest pang of nostalgia was a small point, when Darren talked about a games being postponed due to frost. I remember so clearly in my youth, maybe perhaps around 10, waking up and looking outside on a Saturday morning only to be gutted to be greeted by frost, knowing most the weekend’s games would be wiped out and therefore having no football to look forward to. Literally killed my weekend.

Good luck with the pod and onwards!

Undersoil heating was quite patchy. Some clubs, including us, were early adopters of it, but other grounds you knew you had no chance.
 
About two thirds the way through. Brilliant interview. Two things that struck me on why it was a brilliant interview.

1. If this was mainstream media, he’d be asked about his injuries and England and maybe anything that’d run down Sugar. You asked the questions that, as a fan, I want to know about.
2. You let him talk. You aren’t interrupting him trying to show off your knowledge. You ask the question and let him answer.

Great job.

He seems a really good fella. Very respectful and very knowledgeable.

The 90s were an odd time that, very strangely, I look back on with nostalgia at times. They were my formative Spurs years and I think that if you went through that and still loved Tottenham, you probably always will.

Thanks mate - very kind of you to say. He was interviewed several years ago on the Quickly Kevin podcast and understandably they wanted to talk to him about England so I had license to make it exclusively Spurs. He was really generous with him time and very at ease talking about injuries so he made it very easy for me!
 
Latest episode now out...

My interview with Tony Potts will appeal to anyone interested in academy/elite youth team football and/or who remembers the late 80s/early 90s. Tony was a player who seemed destined to join the conveyor belt of talent from our youth set up but his dreams were shattered by a devastating injury having just signed a pro contract. Anyone who regularly read matchday programmes and followed the youth team would have seen his name mentioned regularly in the goalscorer columns!

He provides incredible insights into why we had such a successful youth team, being coached by Venables, training with Lineker and Gazza, how we missed out on Jamie Redknapp. I hope it will be of interest.

I just loved that Teddy Shaggy Barmby combination....they were all different but all shared a very high football IQ.

Later supplemented by the great Jürgen of course.

One other question if I can. I was a kid at the time so my recollection may be incorrect. What role did Venables play around that time?

My recollection was that he moved upstairs in 91/92 and Peter Shreeves managed the team. Then in 92/93, I understood that Clemence and Livermore took over the management of the team. However, listening to Anderton, it sounds like Venables was much more involved with the playing squad than I recall?

Surprised Mabbutt and Hazard were still playing in 95.

I won't spoil too much as we discuss this in the upcoming 91/92 and 92/93 season reviews...

After the takeover with Sugar in Summer 91 Venables became Chief Executive (much to Sugar's surprise by all accounts) - he was quite distant in 91/92 with Shreeve 1st team Manager. As that season was such a disaster he became far more involved with Clemence/Livermore taking joint charge in 92/93. It would appear he was more of a presence at the training ground and on matchdays than he had been the year before.

I love Venables to bits (and every player I've spoken to says the same) but he always had a 'butterfly mind' and was often seeking the next challenge rather than focusing fully on the one in hand.
