Gary Johnson is their manager. He's also managed Northampton, Yeovil, Peterborough and Latvia. Obviously.
Recommended Marian Pahars to Southampton, apparently. Eye for talent on at least one occasion.

I played in the same team as Gary back in the day, he's a lovely guy. . Never gets the credit for showing faith in Dion Dublin. Dion was struggling in Cambridge reserves, Gary took over the 1st team and gave Dion his debut at Peterborough where he got a hat trick. The rest is history.

In contrast, his son Lee, manager of Bristol City is a complete twat.

Ah, Dion Dublin. One of the last players to successfully play as a striker and a centre-half. Whatever happened to that?
Did Gary Doherty kill it off?
 
Here's the squad pic for the U19 Turnier Stemwede

With the aid of a WindyCOYS squad list and three tabs worth of Development/Academy squads I can identify...

BACK ROW: Tariq Hinds, Oliver Skipp, (no idea), Brooklyn Lyons-Foster, (no idea), Reo Griffiths, Maxi Tainio, Tashan Oakley-Boothe
MIDDLE ROW: Jamie Bowden, Paris Maghoma, Rodel Richards, Timothy Eyoma, Dilan Markanday, Jonathan Dinzeyi, Elliot Thorpe, Phoenix Patterson, Maxwell Statham, (no idea), (no idea), Armando Shashoua, George Marsh, Shilow Tracey
FRONT ROW: Charlie Freeman, Jonathan De Bie, Joshua Oluwayemi

According to WindyCOYS' tweet Samuel Shashoua, Dylan Duncan,. Jack Roles and Kazaiah Sterling are there, but for the life of me I can't see any of them

We've also (finally...) got some acknowledgment of the teams

Spurs 2-0 SV Rödinghausen (Roles x2)
Freeman, Statham (Eyoma 24), Hinds, Skipp (A Shashoua 35), Marsh, Tanganga, Markanday, Duncan, Griffiths (Tracey 30), Roles, S Shashoua (Mukendi 37)

Lokomotiv Moscow 1-1 Spurs (Sterling)
Austin, Eyoma, Hinds, Marsh, Dinzeyi, Tanganga, Tracey, Skipp (Duncan 38), Sterling, S Shashoua (Roles 32), Griffiths

VfB Stuttgart 0-3 Spurs (Samuel Shashoua x2, Roles)
Austin, Mukendi (Dinzeyi 29), Hinds, Marsh, Eyoma, Tanganga (Markanday 32), Tracey, A Shashoua, Sterling (Griffiths 37), Roles, S Shashoua (Duncan 32)

Freeman, Dinzeyi, Markanday, Skipp (Roles 36), Sterling (Tracey 30), Marsh (Tanganga 24), Mukendi, Duncan, Griffiths, S Shashoua (Hinds 28), A Shashoua
 
Over in the Stemwede tournament, having topped the group with four wins we ended up losing the semi-final to eventual winners Taurine FC Brazil, then lost the third-place play-off to Werder Bremen in spite our win over them in the group stage - although judging by Spurs Odyssey's coverage, much of that can be put down to the ref letting Werder play rugby instead of football

Taurine FC Brazil 3-2 Spurs (semi-final) (Samuel Shashoua, Sterling)
Austin, Dinzeyi (Griffiths 25), Hinds, Skipp, Marsh, Tanganga, Tracey, Duncan (A Shashoua 28), Sterling, Roles, S Shashoua

Spurs 0-2 Werder Bremen (third place play-off)
Austin, Statham (Dinzeyi 26), Hinds, Marsh (Duncan 32), Skipp, Tanganga, Markanday, A Shashoua, Griffiths (Roles 26), Sterling, S Shashoua

On the plus side, Samuel Shashoua was awarded with the Player of the Tournament trophy, which fully justifies my habitual hyping him up at every opportunity.
 
Our U19s have finished fifth in the Terborg Tournament, having finished third in our group with one win and two losses. Here's the breakdown (via Spurs Odyssey)

Spurs 0 FC Midtjylland 1
De Bie; Tainio, Marsh, Lyons-Foster, Brown; Duncan, Hinds (Parrott 36), Roles (Tracey 26); Griffiths, Sterling, Shashoua (Maghoma 34)
* Duncan was sent off in the 39th minute

Spurs 1 Heerenveen 0 (Parrott)
De Bie; Tainio, Skipp, Hinds, Brown; Marsh(C); Thorpe (Tracey 26), Parrott, Maghoma (Roles 39), Patterson (Shashoua 34); Griffiths

Spurs 1 Atletico Paranaense 3 (Sterling pen)
De Bie; Tracey (Patterson 42), Marsh, Lyons-Foster, Brown (Roles 42); Skipp; Griffiths, Duncan, Parrott, Maghoma (Tainio 26); Sterling

Spurs 1 Brugge 0 (Maghoma)
De Bie(C); Tainio, Lyons-Foster, Hinds (Sterling 39); Skipp; Shashoua (Tracey 35), Duncan, Roles, Thorpe (Maghoma 35), Patterson; Parrott
