Last Word On Spurs

In this episode of Last Word On Spurs, we welcome author Ewan Flynn, whose fascinating new book, When the Year Ends in One: How Tottenham Hotspur’s 1991 FA Cup Win Saved the Club and Transformed English Football, uncovers the remarkable story behind one of the most significant triumphs in Tottenham Hotspur's history.

While Gary Lineker, Paul Gascoigne and their teammates were battling their way towards Wembley glory, Spurs were fighting a battle of a very different kind behind the scenes. Facing an existential financial crisis, astronomical debts and the looming threat of action from Midland Bank, the club's very future was hanging in the balance.

Drawing on compelling accounts from players, club staff, supporters and broadcasters, Ewan takes us inside the drama of that unforgettable FA Cup campaign, revealing the extraordinary circumstances surrounding Tottenham's 1991 triumph.

But the story doesn't end with lifting the famous trophy. We also explore how that victory had far-reaching consequences for the future of English football, helping shape the Premier League breakaway and even playing a part in the survival of Sky TV.

It's a fascinating look at a defining moment in Spurs history, the people who made it happen, and how one FA Cup triumph helped change the football landscape forever.

Leeds 1-0 Spurs ends a three-game winning run, and with the international break here it's a good moment to take stock of the De Zerbi era so far.



Collectively COYS with [hosts] goes through it in stages:



⚪ Leeds: Okafor's late winner, a flat second half and the Bogle challenge on Tel

🔵 When he came in: the April rescue job and keeping Spurs up

⚪ The summer: the rebuild, the money spent and the strikers

🔵 The first five: Brentford, Newcastle, Forest, Everton, Villa. Two points and no wins

⚪ The last five: Man United, Coventry, Chelsea, Palace, Leeds. Ten points and a team that finally looked like his

🔵 Where we'll end up: each of us gives a final league position

On this week's Last Word On Spurs, we are joined by Tottenham Hotspur correspondent for the Press Association, George Sessions, to take an in-depth look at Spurs' start to the season under Roberto De Zerbi.

We discuss the early signs of De Zerbi's influence, the performances and progress of the side, and what Tottenham need to do to build momentum as the season unfolds.With the January transfer window fast approaching, we also turn our attention to the club's increasingly desperate need to strengthen their forward options.

Where do Spurs need to invest? What profile of striker and attacking talent should they be targeting? And can the club afford to get this decision wrong?

Finally, we look ahead to what Tottenham Hotspur can realistically achieve this season under De Zerbi and whether there is genuine reason for optimism in North London.
