On this day in 2011 we played AC Milan at the San Siro, and there was a bust up between Gattuso and Joe Jordan, and there were some epic comments afterwards.
Graeme Souness on Gattuso v Jordan: ”Gattuso’s a dog. I just wish now he could have 10 minutes in a room alone with Joe Jordan. Actually, it wouldn’t take that long, make it five minutes.”
”My money’s on Joe. There’s only one winner. You wouldn’t want to have a fight with Joe. Of all the people to pick on, don’t pick on Joe. He’s lucky Joe didn’t take his teeth out!” – Harry Redknapp.
Jordan even took his glasses off. From a Telegraph article: 'On Gattuso's attempt to intimidate his assistant, Harry Redknapp said: "Joe was ready. He’d taken his glasses off at the end of the game." "I don’t know why it got so silly. Gattuso obviously hadn’t done his homework. He could’ve picked a fight with somebody else. Putting his head into Joe’s face, it was crazy." The image of a 59-year-old man calmly giving his glasses to a Tottenham sub to hold while he enjoyed a massive set-to is truly from another simpler, angrier era.'Brilliant!!! what a night that was.
I'm in my 40s and have never watched that before!
Glory hunter!
First Tottenham match I ever saw on TV (as far as I know, anyway).
