justin edinburgh survived at spurs for years, despite being not very good ~ just goes to show you, if you keep your head down and sing the right tune, you can last the distance... funny ~ i bet no-one remembers when he came, left, where he came from or went to ~ one day i just noticed he wasn't there any more

so what were his attributes as a footballer? allegedly, he had desire... i think he was replaced by the 5.5m ben thatcher ~ they needn't have bothered! put the money in the bank, tottenham, or buy good footballers...

here he is getting sent of in the 1999 worthington cup final ~ the ref was conned by robbie savage ~ but maybe it helped the cause in the end because we won soonish after.

where they live and we spent our money stupidly.
ossie. looking bleak.
  jurgen klinsmann ~ it's always a land of smiles when jurgen the german is around ~ here he is rescuing spurs from relegation, 1997-8, with les ferdinand and david ginola gross, looking down, wearing crap sportswear, no doubt we just lost here. although i liked old cg...
fa cup win ~ this seems like the dark ages already
our crest ~ isn't it very special, now
gary mabbutt; enough said
r a m o n
this man stuck around for a while...
composure, pace, ability to read the game, dependability ~ ramon vega had none of these qualities. arrived in january 1997 for £3.7m and made spurs fans nervous wrecks for years ~ quickly became an emblem for the club's underperformance ~ usually found saying stuff like "i do my talking on the pitch" and then giving away a penalty a week ~ why did they sign him? you have to wonder.
you can never have enough pictures of gary mabbutt ~ here he is in his last game for spurs, a 1-1 draw at home to southampton in 1998. i was there for his first too, a 2-2 draw at home to luton in 1982, where he scored on his debut. what a tottenham thoroughbred!
