In this episode I spoke to Spurs legend Micky Hazard mostly about his return to Spurs and brief second spell at White Hart Lane in the 90s. Micky is most synonymous with the 80s where he enjoyed a glittering career as part of the glory team that won 2 FA Cups and the UEFA Cup, but as he explains he was sold to Chelsea in 1985 very much against his wishes.
Micky was desperate to return 'home' but had to wait 8 years util his great friend Ossie Ardiles, now Spurs manager re-signed him. He returned to a very different club from the one he left but there was no lack of drama. We endured a terrible run of results and found ourselves in a relegation dogfight and Micky discussed why that happened. He, like us, then enjoyed the euphoria of Jurgen Klinsmann's shock arrival in Summer 94.
Listen now to hear Micky's take on:
Attending the 1991 FA Cup parade (as a Chelsea player!)
Relegation with Chelsea
Being coached by Ossie and Glenn Hoddle at Swindon
Returning to Spurs and the politically charged situation at the club in 93
Surviving relegation in '94
Klinsmann's arrival
Archibald x Crooks v Teddy x Klinsmann
Micky is one of 83 players to have appeared for us in the 80s and 109 who played for Spurs in the 90s. Read about all of them in both my books - https://90sspursbook.square.site/
