Latest episode now out...
John Sheridan is a really lovely man and I got a huge amount of my interview with him.
It builds neatly on the chronology following the 91 FA Cup Final but John's personal story is also a compelling one.

Hi Adam, thanks so much for listening. They're completely timeless so can use international breaks like this to catch up! Yes I suppose so...they're probably of similar age and grew up in East London.

Almost 34 1/2 years ago to the day Spurs last played in an FA Cup Final. It was another epic afternoon full of Shakespearean narrative and ultimate glory!
Relive or learn about the 1991 FA Cup Final with Erik Thorstvedt and Mike Leigh in this latest episode out now pod.fo/e/354028
"In the North London Cup they was only runners up"
Relive one of the best days in Spurs' history with this latest episode as we discuss that goal, the jeopardy of a Semi-Final derby and why we still talk about it 34 years later!
With special guests Nayim and @danielwynne.bsky.social

Coming tomorrow morning...
A chat with the guy who scored the best Spurs goal that wasn't a Spurs goal in the 90s!
Though we're only talking that goal as a footnote. He played in an even more significant win over Arsenal 🤔

With international break wilderness approaching I'm delighted to share that I have 2 episodes coming (Thursday and Monday) that will look back at the 1991 FA Cup Semi-Final and Final respectively.
To get you in the mood I highly recommend that you listen to the 90/91 season review

I had a dream last night that I was in a limo with Sol Campbell and David Ginola and both agreed to be a guest on the podcast. 🤔
Which 90s Spurs player would you be most interested to listen to reflecting on their time at the club?
If your answer is Anderton, Thorstvedt or Nayim you're in luck!
Yes Indeed! I didnt have time to discuss the team news that day....we had a huge injury crisis so drafted Caskey and Dumitrescu back in. They had Schmeichel go off injured and fielded a trialist called William Prunier who Teddy and Armstrong tore apart. Remember him?

Maybe I should have renamed the podcast for this week...Is Gascoigne Going To...take a dump in Erik's gloves? He did you know...find out what Erik did next on this latest pod...https://pod.fo/e/34c39c
There's some high brow stuff too! It's a great listen!
Here it is...an interview with Erik The Viking - another of my boyhood heroes and he was a lovely man very happy to discuss a range of topics

What's your favourite memory of Erik Thorstvedt?
He's my guest on tomorrow's podcast!
This game, and it's significance, was covered in the 90/91 season review with @ewanflynn.bsky.social. Do give it a listen!

At least when we lost 6-1 against them in Gross' first game we had more than one shot! In fact if xG existed we might have been ahead at HT?
Maybe the 90s iterations of Spurs v Chelsea weren't that bad after all based on today? Judge for yourself - pod.fo/e/34831c
I was also aware of Briggs Sports in Enfield that Ewan mentioned. All independent sports shops like that we like an Aladdin's cave! The Pond has never been the same since it closed!

Good evening BlueSky community!
If you missed it earlier here's the link to the latest pod - a review of the highly dramatic but ultimately glorious 90/91 season:
pod.fo/e/347187
Of course! He'll feature in the 91/92 season review episode out in a few weeks!
Anthony Potts also talked about him - as a 1990 FA Youth Cup winner in last week's episode.
By 30 October we knew the season would end in a 1 and therefore glory seemed a certainty. Would it come in the league, the FA cup or League Cup though?
With Gazza and Lineker in top form maybe it could be all three?

Hi Janus,
It's just the 90s for the time being but I thoroughly enjoyed researching and writing about 83/84 with its wonderful conclusion for my second book!
For any of you travelling home from Newcastle I wish you a safe journey - if you're unlucky enough still to be on the road around 2:30am my latest episode will land. It's a review of the epic but ultimately brilliant 90/91 season!

Good point - to be fair there were so many youth team players introduced to 1st team around that time including the likes of Minton, Watson, Tuttle, McDonald, Hendon, A Polston, Dearden, Hill, Hodges etch only played a handful of games.
29.10.2025 19:13 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0I'd have to compare to other clubs I guess to benchmark. In theory we were relatively stable until Venables left in 93 as until then he had full control over comings and goings but like you say Ossie and then Francis arrived in quick succession and wanted their own players.

UPCOMING BONUS CONTENT ALERT 🚨
I've just recorded a brief look back at 90s games away at Everton. It'll drop into your podcast inbox overnight (UK time).
I've once again tried to identify magic, mayhem and mediocrity.
What comes to mind for you?
None of my podcasts are time sensitive so you can listen to them anytime and they won't have dated but if you're at a loose end this Saturday then give my latest episode a listen.
If I do say it's an amazing insight into our youth team circa 1990 with Tony Potts - our star striker!

It's a technique I've mastered at home when my wife comes home and verbalises the minutiae of her day! What she doesn't know is that I'm usually planning an interview with an ex-Spurs player in my head at that moment 🤫
