    Pretty cool photos of a reunion of our youth side. Kane would’ve likely been involved had he not been in the Euros as some of these were who he grew up and broke through with.

    To this day I still wonder what might have been with Terry Dixon (bottom left of first photo), seriously think he could’ve been on Kane’s level had he not had those injuries, was frighteningly good for his age.

    I was a big fan back in the day. He broke his leg in Bulgaria, playing for Ireland. They set it and plastered it over in Bulgaria...badly. It swelled up during the flight and by the time it was cut off back in the UK, damage had been done to the muscles and he never recovered. Losing him and John Gorman around the same time was a big blow.

    Cheers, Jim!

    Jimmy Holmes injury gave Chris Houghton his chance , I looked him up on wiki and was amazed that we sold him to a Canadian club for £100,000 but he only played a few dozen games over the years

    Regular play at the ground that probably ended his Spurs career
    (the utter mare he had in the Nextgen game against Sporting CP) .

    Alex Pritchard’s joined Sunderland on a two year deal.

    What on earth has possessed an intelligent lad like Pritchard to go and play for the odious Lee Johnson.

    Jose’s making friends already <laugh>

    One or two I can actually understand but also one or two that I think there are question marks over.

    Nzonzi was already frozen out. Loaned out to Galatasaray and Rennes over the past couple of seasons.

    I'm quite surprised that he's looking to ship out a bunch of seasoned players, though.
    Looks like a lot of them barely played over the past couple of campaigns, so perhaps it's not entirely down to Mourinho and the club's had some input?
    Pedro and Pastore probably haven't got the legs or the drive to play in one of his teams now, so they're not a shock.

    Another player from our past , he had a good goal ratio but is not often remembered fondly
