    I assume Ky is Kentucky? I'm hoping it is not a jelly thing.

    Interesting interview. Rare to see him saying more than a couple of words and he's still very soft spoken.
    I wonder if he's planning on getting into coaching, as he clearly seems to be missing the game?
    Maybe he could pair up with Ryan Mason?

    His comments about the Chelsea game rung true for me. Funny how it's looked back on by everyone else.

    I used to take my own kids to the traffic area in L Lane Rec late '60's & early '70's, they loved it. No idea whats happened to it now but it was an excellent facility for youngsters. Hope your blood tests went well Smithy, take care...

    Ky for Kentucky. Blood test very good!

    By the way,I have a lot of friends from Kosovo living in Lexington. Several have become Spurs fans (what have I done?) There is another Shamrock Pub in Lexington where Spurs fans gather to watch our team on match days.

    Opening goal by Capoue, tearful farewell from Gomes and commentary from Jenas.

    I remember his first home game. I was fawning just watching his touches in the kick around.The next game saw Jim Iley replace him.Good player Iley but couldn't lace Dave's boots......and the rest was history!

    I was distraught when he left for Derby, I wondered why? Then he led them to the title, I was gutted, he was a winner.

    IIRC for similar reasons why Dembele was sold in January, as his body was starting to break down - although the fact he was able to reinvent himself as a sweeper means that perhaps we were too hasty to move him on

    Of course, the Lunatic Fringe of the day were no doubt sending telegrams reading "BillNickOut" to one another...

    I remember when Dave Mackay returned to the Lane with Derby. The kick off was held up because the whole ground was giving him a standing ovation and wouldn’t stop. A real tear jerker of an occasion.

    Problem is unless he played for any one of the other top six he would get too many red cards

    I was thinking more around the verbal bollocking he would give teammates when they wimped out of tackles etc. But he'd probably get carded for that too.... <laugh>

    As would Ginola in the clip above for taking his shirt off after scoring that wonder goal. Oh what players we have seen over the years.

    If it weren't for Ginola 1997-2000 would have been the darkest of nights with out a glimmer of light.

    It is hard to do justice to just how bad those years were.
