Crace is from somewhere like Northampton; lives in London; long-time Spurs fan; blogs on Spurs for ESPN. Like Castro, I thought the distance/travel bit was funny. I also thought the tradition of disappointment rang a bell with Hull City fans.
Someone from Northampton goes in my local. He is a West Ham fan. No wonder their rugby union team gets larger crowds. That fat slob pictured leading the riots at the World Cup in Marseilles was from near Northampton. He is even worse, he is a White ****e fan.

One of my favourite players as a youngster. Not just a hard man but skilful as well.Would love to see some of today's softies having to face him. Only 5'8" tall as well. That picture of Bremner bricking it is a classic.
