Is Gascoigne Going to Have a Crack? Spurs in the 90s (Part 1) - with Special Guest, Gareth Dace

The Spurs Plus Dave Podcast

(Part 1 of 2)

We travel back in time this week as we are delighted to be joined by Gareth Dace, author of the brand new Spurs book, 'Is Gascoigne Going to Have a Crack?' a tale of the 'Magic, Mayhem and Mediocrity' that was Spurs in the 1990s.

In this two-part special, we take a trip down memory lane (as far as our young-ish memories will allow for some of us) and get stuck into a decade that holds a special place in the hearts of many fans.

Despite Spurs generally failing to dazzle in the league, the decade was bookended by a couple of trophy wins - a rare and sought-after commodity in the eyes of the modern Spurs fan - including our last FA Cup triumph, thanks in no small part to the efforts of the titular Gascoigne and his Wembley free kick that spawned the iconic commentary itself.

We talk cup runs, the dawn of the Premier League, financial irregularities, protests, multiple sacked managers, world class foreign imports, glory and heartbreak... and that's only the first half!

Gareth is kind enough to walk us through, season by season, in fascinating detail, leaving no stone unturned, and whether it's a dose of nostalgia, a history lesson or a bit of both, we hope you enjoy taking it all in as much as we did.
