95/96 Season Review (with Marcus Buckland)

<p><strong>In this episode, I’m joined by broadcaster and host of The Tottenham Way podcast Marcus Buckland as we continue our journey through Tottenham Hotspur’s 1990s seasons — this time landing on the often‑overlooked 1995/96 campaign.</strong></p><br><p>After the chaos, colour and heartbreak of 94/95 — Klinsmann, Popescu, Barmby, Ossie’s Fab Five — the following season felt far more subdued. Marcus and I dig into why 95/96 struggled to leave a lasting mark on supporters, despite the numbers telling a very different story.</p><br><p>We revisit a campaign full of contradictions: big wins over Arsenal and Manchester United, two strikers hitting 20+ goals, clean sheets, a spell in third place, and two draws against Kevin Keegan’s Newcastle that shaped the title race. Yet it was also a year defined by “nearly” moments — a dramatic FA Cup trilogy with Nottingham Forest ending in Spurs’ first ever penalty shoot‑out defeat, and a final‑day collapse that saw us fall from 5th to 8th within twenty agonising minutes.</p><br><p>Along the way we explore the mood around White Hart Lane: Alan Sugar’s infamous “Carlos Kickaballs” summer, the departures of Klinsmann, Popescu and Barmby, the arrival of Chris Armstrong and Ruel Fox, and the symbolism of swapping Umbro for Pony — a moment that felt like Spurs shrinking just as the rest of the Premier League (Arsenal with Bergkamp, Chelsea with Gullit, Newcastle with Ginola and Ferdinand) was expanding.</p><br><p>Marcus brings sharp insight from both the stands and the BBC Radio London press box, helping us understand what this quieter, transitional season reveals about Spurs’ identity in the 90s — and why even the forgotten years matter in the bigger story of English football.</p><br><p><strong>Read about Spurs’ entire 90s journey in my book Is Gascoigne Going To Have a Crack? — available directly from me here: </strong><a href="https://90sspursbook.square.site/?utm_source=copilot.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://90sspursbook.square.site/</strong></a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Capital Gold Sport: The Soundtrack of 90s Football (with Steve Wilson)

<p><strong>This week on Is Gascoigne Going To Have a Crack? I’m joined by Match of the Day commentator Steve Wilson, who was part of the era‑defining Capital Gold Sport team throughout the 90s — a golden age of English football nostalgia and the soundtrack to how London followed the game.</strong></p><br><p><strong>Steve talks through his career journey, from volunteering at the newly created Capital Gold Sport, to covering Spurs during one of the most chaotic and memorable periods in 90s football, and eventually becoming one of the most recognisable voices on Match of the Day.</strong></p><br><p><strong>We discuss the cultural phenomenon of Jonathan Pearce, the magic of listening to football on the radio, and Spurs’ place in the wider London football landscape as the decade progressed.</strong></p><p><strong>Do you have memories of listening to Steve or Capital Gold Sport? Get in touch via Spotify, Bluesky (@90s90sSpursbooks) or X (@garethdace).</strong></p><br><p><strong>Looking for some Spurs reading this summer?

94/95 Season Review - PART TWO (with Chris Slegg)

<p>Chris Slegg is back as we continue the story of the incredible 94/95 season. </p><br><p>In Part Two we discuss Gerry Francis' arrival, the introduction of Terror Tuesdays, a very unusually Spurs phenomenon of keeping clean sheets (while continuing to score goals) and the bittersweet end to the season that saw FA Cup heartbreak and Klinsmann's departure. </p><br><p>What makes 94/95 the most fun of all Spurs seasons? Chris is best placed to discuss this. </p><br><p>You can buy his book The Team That Dared To Do - kindle version is available here - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Team-That-Dared-Do-Tottenham-ebook/dp/B08HB5SG2X/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3229ZUVANWBNE&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.4l1Q4FmoJ7F5PjaO9OQccg.Swv11PyRb_dPe_2rn9NNuEd4yztKaB_h-go6jyL6Fwo&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;keywords=the+team+that+dared+to+do&amp;qid=1777492222&amp;sprefix=the+team+that+dared+to+do%2Caps%2C164&amp;sr=8-1</p><br><p>Buy my book that covers the 94/95 season here - https://90sspursbook.square.site/</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
