   The Man in the Raincoat

   October 1998. Tottenham Hotspur appoint George Graham as manager. On paper, it made perfect sense. Graham was one of the most successful managers in English football. A league champion, cup winner and one of the most respected coaches of his generation. There was just one problem. He was George Graham. Former Arsenal captain. Former Arsenal manager. The man who had rebuilt Spurs' fiercest rivals into champions. For many Tottenham supporters, it felt unthinkable. Nearly 30 years later, the appointment remains one of the most controversial decisions in the club's history. In this special documentary episode of Is Gascoigne Gonna Have a Crack?, Gareth explores the extraordinary story behind Graham's move across North London, examining the rumours, negotiations, outrage and contradictions that surrounded his arrival at White Hart Lane. Featuring contributions from journalist Henry Winter, Tottenham historian Julie Welch, broadcaster and supporter Jason McGovern, Arsenal supporter Luke Freer, former Arsenal physio Gary Lewin, Leeds author Roc O'Dean and archive audio from Darren Anderton, this documentary asks a question that still divides opinion today: Did Tottenham Hotspur sacrifice part of its identity in pursuit of success? A story of rivalry, loyalty, football culture, morality, nostalgia and change.

   David Pleat Interview

   David Pleat joins Is Gascoigne Gonna Have A Crack? for an in-depth look at one of the most turbulent eras in Tottenham Hotspur history. Returning to White Hart Lane in 1997 as Spurs' first Director of Football, David found a club struggling for direction after years of drift under Alan Sugar. In this fascinating conversation, he reflects on working alongside Christian Gross and George Graham, the challenge of rebuilding the squad, the return of Jurgen Klinsmann, the controversial appointment of George Graham and the heartbreaking departure of Sol Campbell. We also discuss recruitment in the late 1990s, scouting before modern analytics, Sergei Rebrov, Paolo Tramezzani, Robbie Keane, academy development and the lessons football has learned – and failed to learn – over the last 25 years. For Spurs supporters, this is a rare chance to hear from one of the key figures behind the scenes. For football nostalgists, it is a vivid snapshot of how Premier League clubs were run before sporting directors, data departments and social media transformed the game. Featuring: • Alan Sugar • Christian Gross • Jurgen Klinsmann • George Graham • Sol Campbell • Sergei Rebrov • Robbie Keane • Glenn Hoddle #THFC #PremierLeague #FootballNostalgia #90sFootball #TottenhamHotspur Buy David's book 'Just One More Goal' here - Just One More Goal: The autobiography of David Pleat : Pleat, David: Amazon.co.uk: Books (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Just-One-More-Goal-autobiography/dp/1785909061) Hosted on Acast.

   97/98 Season Review - PART TWO

   We open Season 3 exactly where we left Season 2 with a forensic review of the near-fatal 97/98 campaign. I was re-joined by Julie Welch and Rosa as we explored Christian Gross' declining relationship with ALL his players, Jurgen Klinsmann's heroic return but why we still hovered just above the relegation zone. Rosa tells us about her vivid memories of a wonderful Salvation Saturday in South London and there's also a dive into late 90s mainstream culture too. This episode kicks off Season 3. Make sure you check the back catalogue to listen to Spurs' entire 90s journey! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy (https://acast.com/privacy) for more information.
