About this listen

Spurs were perennial South East Counties Champions and won the prestigious FA Youth Cup in 1990. Top goalscorer and star-player was Anthony Potts who scored in the final and was soon offered a pro-contract where he hoped to feature in the first team, win trophies at White Hart Lane and enjoy a successful career for club and country. However, serious injury wrecked his intended trajectory. Tony wrote his own memoir - Losing My Spurs - and in this interview he speaks articulately about his experiences. Tune in to learn more about:


Why Spurs youth set-up was so good in the 80s

Training with Terry Venables and learning from Lineker

His friendship with Gazza
