Hi Martin, did you have any luck? I can't find any reference prior to the 1956 adoption of the motto on the crest.

I can’t say I’ve ever previously spent a Sunday morning chatting about Sydney Sweeney with Jane Mulkerrins and Anneka Rice, but I’d do it again in a heart-beat! #nonemoreblonde #tokenbrunette

@martincloake.bsky.social Hi Martin, I'm writing a piece about football mottos and I wonder if you can help with a Spurs question. I'm trying to find out when the club adopted audere est facere, but there's no definitive answer on the web. Might you know? Any help would be amazing. Best wishes, Jon

@mrjonharvey.bsky.social Saw Unspeakable being recorded at The Cockpit Theatre tonight. Great guests, great format. Even the producer was funny.

I hope Thomas Frank gets better treatment at Spurs than Ange did. Especially in the souvenir scarf department.

It's 10 years since we lost Dan. My only brother, my oldest friend. I've got married, had the most amazing little boy, become a space warrior by mistake, run for election 6 times, and most incredibly of all, Palace have won the cup. Miss you bro x www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYpa...

Stand-Up Specials - Jon Harvey: Sudden Death - BBC Sounds Comedian, producer and writer Jon Harvey presents a stand-up show about sports and grief.

my favourite line in @mrjonharvey.bsky.social’s stand-up show, sudden death, was where he described sport as β€œan epic story, which all of us are privileged to see some of, but none of us can ever hope to see all of”.

it carries on, and that’s the point.

Spurs and Palace in the same week. Mad. I can’t tell you how much I wish I could tell Dan I just one-upped him.

Stand-Up Specials - Jon Harvey: Sudden Death - BBC Sounds Comedian, producer and writer Jon Harvey presents a stand-up show about sports and grief.

a couple of years ago, i made this show with @mrjonharvey.bsky.social about why sport - and, specifically, his brother’s beloved crystal palace - matter so much to people

This book is about @mrjonharvey.bsky.social honouring his late brother’s Palace fandom by keeping his season ticket on after he died.

Someone else I’m happy for today.

For those who know me, you’ll know this pains me to say but I’m not at Wembley. I’m at a wedding. But COME ON PALACE. Do it for Dan.

If you’re wondering why Ange Postecoglou is so grumpy, it’s not the injuries. It’s the image of his face on the souvenir scarf.

Taking shoes off on the train. Is that ok? I’m thinking it’s not ok. The bloke opposite me clearly disagrees with me. As does the smell.
