The inside story of Tottenham Hotspur's tumultuous 1991 FA Cup campaign, as told by the players, staff, fans and broadcasters who lived it. Essential reading for every Spurs fan!
From Ewan Flynn, author of the critically acclaimed Amazon best-seller We Are Sunday League.
For manager Terry Venables, and his talented, eclectic and sometimes wayward squad, hazards abounded on that year's fabled road to Wembley. Tottenham Hotspur plc was out of step with Tottenham Hotspur FC; fans were organising in protest; the Midland Bank was getting ready to call in Spurs' astronomical debt. Everything seemed to depend on Paul Gascoigne – poised to become the world's greatest player – and the price tag on his head. Could he avoid the dual perils of injury and his spiralling white-hot fame?
This exhaustively researched and irreverently written book:
Spurs fans inside Wembley Stadium didn't know it, but the big beasts encircling their wounded club would – for better or worse – determine Tottenham's future and irrevocably transform the whole of English football.
