For me Boxing Day was as exciting as Christmas Day itself....though Spurs would go on to ruin that on several occasions!

We round up Season 1 of Is Gascoigne Going To Have a Crack? by looking back at the breakdown of the Alan Sugar - Terry Venables partnership which saw one of the messiest divorces in the club's history and set the tone for a generation at White Hart Lane. I was joined by the author of the official Club biography Dame Julie Welch and my podcast tutor Milo as we explore Venables' and Sugar's backgrounds and their unlikely and partnership that, on paper, appeared to be the 'Dream Ticket' but proved to be a thing of nightmares literally within days.What were the ramifications for the club? How much do you remember and were you firmly in Camp Venables like me...at the time?Looking for some Spurs reading material?

Jonny Blain from An Echo of Glory joins me as we reminisce about the inaugural Premier League season 92/93. It was a season that...eventually....provided some great hope as the Anderton-Barmby-Sheringham trio set White Hart Lane alight in Spring. We discussed scoring 4 goals in 5 minutes against Southampton and Nayim's hat-trick at Man City. However, it was ultimately a season of disappointment as Arsenal got FA Cup SF revenge. And what about the Fiorucci Cup?! There's some cultural references too - Gladiators, Ghost Watch and WWF. If you're enjoying the podcast please leave a positive review or rating - they really help.
