Your Spurs x culture podcast, with Ash, Billie T, Charlie, Rosa and Tom. HG is committed to covering the Tottenham Hotspur men's and women's teams, and tapping into the Spurs fan experience. We're talking the grief and glory of being fully COYS: cult heroes; iconic shirts; comically miserable away days; everything from Amsterdam to Zagreg. The team are also dedicated to bringing you music, TV, film, books and art recommendations we know you’ll love. Plus guests! We have very special guests from the Spurs and culture crossover universes. Eventually, these guests will include Adele. It is our ultimate goal here, after all.

“That’s What I Like”

March 01, 2023 13:36 - 1 hour - 90.6 MB

Like London buses… we bag a second, confident derby win. Billie, Rosa and Tom discuss unlikely goal scorers, Richarlison and Kane, Ben Davies reaching 300 games and marvel at how bad Chelsea are. The team also preview Sheffield United in the FA Cup, and reflect on the women’s Cup loss. And there’s culture! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

“The Show Goes On”

February 21, 2023 11:35 - 1 hour - 108 MB

Spurs might not be particularly good, but at least we’re not West Ham bad. Billie, Charlie, Rosa and (especially) Tom celebrate a nicely straightforward 2-0 home win full of heartwarming moments for Hometown Glory favourites—and give Cristian Stellini his tactical flowers. Attentions then turn to another big London derby at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as we wonder if we’ll ever have a better chance to see off Chelsea (and if so, why are we all quite so nervous about this game?). There’s al...

“Road to Perdition”

February 14, 2023 11:39 - 1 hour - 52.8 MB

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! And YIKES. Billie and Rosa work through their feelings about our football club’s latest disaster(s) and try to find some reasons to be, if not cheerful, at least not totally depressed. Sure, we’re catastrophic on the pitch and we’re haemorrhaging first team players, but could this be The Chance for Sarr and Skipp? We shower affection on Beth England and Ash Neville but also fret about the future for Spurs Women. Is it time to move on from Rehanne Skinner? Final...

“Hero”

February 07, 2023 12:09 - 1 hour - 124 MB

Ah, Harry. Our Harry. What a man, and what a privilege to pay tribute here to our club's greatest goalscorer. Charlie, Rosa and Tom present H his flowers, and assess a masterful win over the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium's favourite visitors. There are fun redemption arcs for our guy Emerson Royal, Pierre-Emile Højbjerg and Gentle Ben as we dare to ask: Are we, finally, good again? We also, of course, spend a lot of time sharing fave Harry memories, and turn it over to you, our wonderful listene...

“Light”

January 31, 2023 21:16 - 1 hour - 97.7 MB

Actual signings! Clean sheets! Goalscoring records! Criminal activity by our director of football! Billie, Tom and Rosa are joined by comedian David Alfie Ward to discuss the latest twists in the ongoing saga of our football club. Is a cup run on? Is Son back (again)? Does anyone know if Pedro Porro is actually good and does it even matter? The women get an important win and we marvel at the difference a proper striker can make as Beth England shines. We also cast an ambivalent eye over City...

“Perfect Storm”

January 17, 2023 17:32 - 1 hour - 112 MB

Ash, Charlie and Rosa come together for a cathartic exorcism of the North London Derby. We dig deep to make sense of a day that felt off from the moment we took to the High Road, come to terms with the chasm that exists between Spurs and Arsenal right now and predict what happens from here. Does Antonio Conte survive the next few games? Why do Tottenham Hotspur keep finding themselves in these preposterous situations every 18 months? What are the group’s feelings towards a return for Mauricio...

“Going Through It”

January 10, 2023 11:43 - 1 hour - 122 MB

Another quiet week! Billie, Charlie, Rosa and Tom rattle through Qatar's flirtations with Spurs, two victories, the rise of Pape Matar Sarr, the awful treatment of Emerson Royal and outdated chants before steeling ourselves to preview a monumental North London Derby. We get deep in our feelings and pay tribute to the newly retired Gareth Bale before Billie throws to you, our glorious listeners, for a Rolling In the Tweets Bale Special. It's then over to Spurs Women for their return to action...

“Kick, Push”

January 03, 2023 11:56 - 1 hour - 93 MB

Well, it’s all kicking off, isn’t it? Ash, Billie, Charlie and Rosa convene to assess the Villa defeat and the civil war engulfing Spurs—how much blame should Conte take? Is it all on ENIC and Daniel Levy? What’s the plan for the club from 00here? Does it all just feel especially bad because of who's top of the league? Things get pretty passionate, and it was good to get a few things off our chests. It’s not all bleak, though! We promise! Everyone gives their reasons for optimism for Spurs i...

“Same Old Story”

December 29, 2022 21:28 - 1 hour - 90.4 MB

Welcome back to the chaos that is Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, who did not give us even one game before we had to ask yet again, why are you like this? Billie, Tom and Rosa sift through the good, the bad, and the Eric Dier of that draw at Brentford. We lift up our heartbroken hero Harry Kane, bask in the very grown-up brilliance of Ivan Perišić, and reflect on the latest round of Antonio Conte drama. ENIC out? We also get VERY excited about the possibility of Spurs Women getting their ve...

“All Rise”

November 15, 2022 20:36 - 1 hour - 130 MB

Deep breath, everyone: the Spurs rollercoaster has pulled in until Boxing Day! Billie, Charlie, Rosa, Tom and friend of the show Tara try and make sense of the barmy 4-3 win over Leeds—with Tara talking us through her experience watching the game with none other than Elisabetta Conte (Antonio's wife!). There's, of course, much love put in the direction of our flame-haired Swede, a chat around booing and Emerson Royal, the team's January shopping lists, a big World Cup chat, a look at Spurs W...

“All Is True"

November 08, 2022 14:36 - 1 hour - 104 MB

Charlie, Rosa and Tom strap in for the emotional aftermath of defeat to Liverpool, while clinging to certain positives. Positive number one: our glorious returning Swede. We ask if booing in the stadium is ever acceptable (and whether we as Spurs fans have gone a bit boo mad after Nuno's boo-aided dismissal) before reviewing the Champions League draw. There are also looks ahead to the Forest and Leeds games, and a deep-and-meaningful about this wretched World Cup. Plus, of course, your weekl...

“Time Will Tell”

October 31, 2022 13:22 - 1 hour - 93.2 MB

Love football, hate VAR. Ash, Rosa and Tom celebrate the joyous last minute winner at Bournemouth and try not to get TOO tinfoil about the disallowed goal against Sporting. We crown Rodrigo Bentancur player of the season so far and hope we don’t have to play another match without him, ever. There are nervous looks to Marseille and Liverpool, Rosa is made to look a right idiot by a glorious goalfest for Spurs Women at Brighton, and as ever we have some glorious culture picks for you.  If you...

“Always Let U Down”

October 25, 2022 08:23 - 59 minutes - 44.9 MB

As surely as night follows day, this week the Tottenham rollercoaster took a real nosedive. Billie and Rosa cling on for dear life as they discuss what went wrong and try to work out if we’re heading back up any time soon. Listeners share their best (worst?) post-defeat tantrums, Rosa rants about Spurs Women having no money, and we get extremely hyped about the return of everyone’s favourite toxic family in Succession.  Follow us on Twitter: @_HometownGlory The team on Twitter: Ash, Billie...

“Make You Smile”

October 18, 2022 09:29 - 40 minutes - 31.6 MB

We’re good! Right? Ash, Billie and Rosa revel in the professional win against Everton, and Sonny's spectacular goals in the…less professional win over Frankfurt. Höjbjerg Haters are dispatched to the dustbin of history, Doherty gets some extra love, we try to find some more superlatives for Kane, and look cautiously ahead to Old Trafford. Plus, Spurs Women get their first home win at the new ground (spoiler: Ash Neville still reigns supreme), while Billie has your Halloween culture covered a...

“The Lion Inside”

October 11, 2022 10:19 - 59 minutes - 81.1 MB

Tom, Rosa and Billie reflect on the Brighton win and the emotional scenes after the death of Gian Piero Ventrone. Kane gets his flowers, not least for his CBeebies appearance, and the gang worry about German fans sneaking drums in on Wednesday. Your memories of underrated goals go to amazing depths before Tom and Rosa wang on about Strictly Come Dancing and Billie covers more meta TV. If you fancy skipping to certain bits: 00:00 — Brighton and Gian Piero 21:10 — King Kane 29:20 — Frankfu...

“It Is What It Is”

October 06, 2022 14:40 - 1 hour - 109 MB

The team contends with a tough COYS week—trying their best to keep level heads. In Antonio we trust. A tricky trip to Frankfurt is analysed, as our the issues facing the squad as they enter a big few weeks and, more importantly, the issues facing men's football at large. We examine the start Spurs Women have made to their season, and give up our latest culture picks.  If you fancy skipping to certain bits: 00:00 — Frankfurt (and, we guess, that Arsenal game) 31:20 — Brighton preview 47:...

“Encounter”

September 20, 2022 09:34 - 57 minutes - 79.1 MB

Cockerels > Foxes. Charlie, Rosa and Tom celebrate the weekend double over Leicester. There's plenty of Sonny joy to bathe in, a big, (accidentally) existential chat around "ConteBall", Rosa's valiant Davinson defence and a love letter for the incredible South Korean fans to get into from the Men's chaotic thrashing, before we dive into Spurs Women's 2-1 win at the King Power to kick off their WSL season. Rosa, meanwhile, wants to know how Tom's getting on with House of the Dragon as we get ...

“Worry Walks Beside Me”

September 15, 2022 11:30 - 1 hour - 94.1 MB

Charlie, Billie and Rosa are joined by Caroline Stefko of the N17 Women podcast as they mull over defeat in Lisbon and its rather outsized reaction online. How, we ask, does this team become properly fun? Rosa’s answer will make you feel better, we promise. There’s a look ahead to Antonio’s selection posers for the visit of Leicester, and Caroline helps us (quite magnificently) preview the 2022/23 WSL season. How was our transfer window? Which new players should we be looking out for? What d...

“I’m Going Back”

September 05, 2022 08:51 - 1 hour - 86.5 MB

Still unbeaten and suddenly fun to watch? A good weekend to be Spurs! The full HG lineup toasts the entertaining Fulham win, with special mentions for Richarlison—WHL’s new "main character syndrome" king—and our impressive central midfield duo. Rosa, meanwhile, considers a French affair, we ask if Sonny is now back, remember to praise the perennially magnificent Harry Kane and review the stadium’s new outdoor big-screen bit. Our return to Champions League action is, of course, previewed as w...

“HUMBLE.”

September 02, 2022 11:36 - 42 minutes - 57.7 MB

We’re back after a too-long break to talk about that draw at West Ham. What else did we learn from Wolves and Forest? How are we unbeaten yet playing badly? Are we actually playing that badly? 10 years in, why do we love Hugo so much? And is the Fulham match cursed? If you fancy skipping to certain bits: 00:00 — West Ham 14:20 — Hugo, our French king 19:40 — Wolves, Forest and how we’re feeling about the season so far 27:50 — Fulham preview 33:30 — Culture recommendations (Ash: There...

“Venom”

August 17, 2022 11:57 - 1 hour - 87.4 MB

We pick the bones out of a raucous visit to Stamford Bridge: How did we manage to get out of there with a point despite that performance? (Spoiler: Richarlison and Perišić.) Are we sometimes too quick to absolve Antonio of blame? What worried us about the performance and why did so many of the players look spooked by the occasion? How impressive is it that they pulled themselves together for the big finish? Will Ivan and Bissouma change the game for us this season? Does Romero need to chill ...

“Joy”

August 09, 2022 10:18 - 1 hour - 88.8 MB

The team recounts a hot, hazy, Pimm's-fuelled day in N17 as Spurs thrashed a hapless Southampton. Which iconic artist does Billie compare Emerson Royal to? Has Rosa passed on her curse? Will Tom accept Charlie’s drink challenge? Are we into Enter Sandman becoming our walk-out music and will we miss Duel of the Fates? And which UKG MC was at the same wedding as Ash? We also, of course, count the ways we love Dejan Kulusevski, give Rodrigo Bentancur his deserved props and look cautiously to St...

“Home Again”

August 04, 2022 10:08 - 1 hour - 104 MB

We cannot wait for Saturday. To help get us in the mood, the team tackles 10 season-defining questions (including: first meltdowns, dream Champions League opponents, pre-match music revamps, favourite N17 pubs and the definitive take on the away shirt) before predicting how the opening game will actually go. Rosa speaks beautifully on women's football in a remarkable week for the sport, and gets us hyped ahead of a crucial season for Rehanne Skinner's revamped squad. Elsewhere, Billie is, of...

“Butterflies”

July 25, 2022 10:36 - 1 hour - 128 MB

We’re back! The team reunites to each reveal our favourite summer signing (so far) and play keep/sell/loan with Antonio’s unfavoureds, while Billie hits us with his first Rolling In the Tweets (and thank you for all your entries on your favourite pre-season memories!). Elsewhere, we pick apart the "Spurs' transfer window is actually underwhelming" takes, Rosa powerfully calls for football to do better, Tom rejoices in the the arrival of a new striker, Charlie shows what two months do for you...

“Best for Last”

May 24, 2022 10:15 - 55 minutes - 75.9 MB

We did it! They team relive a weirdly stress-free in Norfolk and get very excited about our Champions League return—which might even mean a Saturday 3pm kickoff! There's, of course, special mention for our Golden Boot king Sonny (and his bromance with Gentle Ben), Emerson Royal's latest masterpieces (on and off the pitch) and a sentimental shoutout for some forgotten heroes (even you, Nuno!) Billie presents an extraordinary Rolling In the Tweets special featuring our favourite Arsenal fan tw...

“Take It All”

May 18, 2022 10:54 - 1 hour - 88.3 MB

Well, here we go then! The team pore over a wild, wild week—starting with the edgy Burnley win, then Arsenal's St James' capitulation before we look ahead to Norwich. Who from the gang is confident and who's been thinking too much about that Newcastle 5-1? We also cast an eye over the entertaining end of season "lap of recognition", celebrate the stopwatch-on-your-phone heroes and, of course, offer up some hot culture picks. Come on Spurs: one more game! Culture recommendations (Ash: Mr. Mo...

“Turning Tables”

May 13, 2022 14:38 - 32 minutes - 44.4 MB

Emergency episode! Who knows what'll happen from here, but we needed to mark a glorious NLD win. We applaud the incredible THS atmosphere, the entire team's professionalism, Dav/Patron's surprise starring role and Sonny rising above it, while trying to make sense of The Arsenal's sense of injustice about it all. We dare to predict how it might play out from here, and give our snap verdict on Kendrick Lamar's latest masterpiece. Enjoy! Follow us on Twitter: @_HometownGlory The team on Twit...

“Rolling In the Deep”

May 11, 2022 12:23 - 41 minutes - 57 MB

We review the big pros and potential cons of the 1-1 at Anfield while trying and failing to not get too hysterical over an enormous NLD. Emerson Royal is quite rightly celebrated, Rosa has her big Benjamin Davies moment and we break down Sonny's first 20-goal league season. The team also celebrate a fine season for Spurs Women—including a look at Rosa's experience taking her two kids to the season finale at the Stadium last weekend. And of course, we share out latest culture picks. If you ...

“My Same”

May 03, 2022 10:26 - 1 hour - 91.1 MB

We toast King Sonny and the magic of Kulu, while Cristian Romero's latest no-nonsense masterclass inspires Billie's latest Rolling In the Tweets. Elsewhere, there's a look ahead to a big final week of the season for Spurs Women, and, of course, our culture picks. If you fancy skipping to certain bits: 01:02 — Leicester 24:50 — Top four race and Liverpool 37:34 — Rolling In the ...

“Chasing Pavements”

April 20, 2022 12:04 - 1 hour - 91.4 MB

Level heads! We try not to panic after the Brighton game while looking at what went wrong. Was it Rosa's fault for attending? Harry Kane's for going to the golf? Antonio Conte's for getting outthought by Graham Potter? The crowd's for getting frustrated? Meanwhile, the top four rollercoaster is assessed going into The Christian Eriksen Derby, Charlie launches an investigation into whether Emma Raducanu is actually coys and we wish Spurs Women well going into their Chelsea hell week. And, of ...

“Love in the Dark”

April 12, 2022 09:42 - 1 hour - 110 MB

The team breaks down a glorious weekend (Doherty news aside). How dirty were Villa or should we not get too The Arsenal about it? Just how much does Tom love Kulu? Is this the very best we've seen of Sonny and H? And should we be worried about Royal now playing every week—and where the hell was his highlights video? We take a check on how we're all feeling about the top four race, mark Hugo's incredible performance with Billie T's Rolling In the Tweets (and talk about our own favourite Spurs...

“Hold On”

April 06, 2022 09:21 - 1 hour - 54.4 MB

It's getting interesting! The team surveys the top four race—taking in our Newcastle thrashing and Arsenal's defeat at Palace—and gauges just how confident we should now be feeling. We also pay tribute to great goals from Tottenham full-backs (including plenty of incredible listener picks), look ahead to Villa, encourage everyone to come with us to the Spurs Women game at the THS on 8 May and, of course, dole out some hot culture picks. If you fancy skipping to certain bits: 01:02 — Newcas...

“Make You Feel My Love”

March 22, 2022 11:06 - 1 hour - 99 MB

A joyous and oddly heated episode! We bask in the afterglow of the West Ham win and each predict how the run-in will go down. There's a look at the toughest week imaginable for Spurs Women before we dive into a set of culture picks that sparks a Rosa revelation so shocking Billie is forced to compare her to Michael Owen. Tom, meanwhile, leaves us howling with a surprising long-standing TV obsession... If you fancy skipping to certain bits: 00:00 — West Ham 25:00 — Run-in predictions 49:...

“Love Is A Game” (feat. Rob Daly)

March 20, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 99.1 MB

Rob Daly is the much-loved voice of Spurs TV and one of football's best commentators. He takes on our Spurs Seven questions with Charlie and reveals the emotion behind those iconic last-minute Ajax, Leicester and Man City commentaries, gives his verdict on Conte's unpredictable Spurs, gets excited about Kulu's new chant, defends Moussa Sissoko and Carlos Vinícius, talks about how you worry you're going mad when you laugh at your own jokes in the commentary box, picks his favourite Spurs shirt...

“Can’t Let Go”

March 15, 2022 13:02 - 52 minutes - 71.9 MB

The team remain calm as we pick over the United defeat and somehow, sort of, re-talk ourselves into the top four being on. Inspired by Tom watching the game in a Pret, listeners tell us the weirdest places they've watched Spurs, before we talk over Spurs Women's tough loss versus Man City and preview the Brighton and West Ham games. Plus, of course, our weekly culture picks. If you fancy skipping to certain bits: 00:00 — Man United 16:20 — Weird places watching Spurs 27:00 — Spurs Women...

“Right As Rain”

March 09, 2022 17:38 - 48 minutes - 66.2 MB

Back to the top of the Spurs rollercoaster, as we toast the Everton thrashing and prepare for United away. Our Kulu Apology tour continues, we give thanks for Rodrigo Bentancur, consider whether the Wolves Matt Doherty has finally showed up and predict how many goals we'll need Harry to score if we are going to finish in the top four. We also look ahead to a crucial run for Spurs Women in their Champions League quest, and give out our Culture Picks. If you fancy skipping to certain bits: ...

“Tired”

March 04, 2022 12:02 - 1 hour - 100 MB

In a difficult week, Rosa and Charlie chat over the Boro defeat and consider how to make sense of why we all care *so* much (too much?) about our football teams. Spurs (and Conte) coping strategies are discussed, as is the Chelsea/Abramovich situation, the Everton game and Ashleigh Neville's much-deserved Player of the Month award. Plus, of course, culture recommendations are made. This one gets deep! Culture recommendations (Rosa: Ukrainecast [BBC], Kleptopia by Tom Burgis, Intrigue, Mayd...

“Oh My God”

February 22, 2022 12:00 - 1 hour - 92.3 MB

Spurs are back! Again! We glory in the Man City win, dissect the "utterly deranged narrative" (Rosa) around Spurs right now, settle the Deki/Kulu naming debate, (eventually) salute Harry Kane and reveal the various ways our behaviour during added time troubled our kids. We then look on nervously to Burnley and Leeds and toast the Spurs Women return to form. Also! The team reviews the first episode of the Kanye documentary and hand out our weekly culture picks. If you fancy skipping to cert...

“Strangers By Nature”

February 08, 2022 15:15 - 1 hour - 91.4 MB

To mark the first sightings of Kulu & Bentancur, it's a Spurs Debuts Special! We reveal our favourite memorable Tottenham intros, and present some brilliant picks from you guys (Mido: very popular). There are also reviews of the men's and women's teams victories over Brighton, a look at the Premier League double header at home versus Southampton and Wolves, plus of course: our diverse, intriguing and slightly nerdy culture picks. If you fancy skipping to certain bits: 00:00 — Brighton in ...

“Don’t You Remember”

February 02, 2022 11:28 - 51 minutes - 70.8 MB

This was an emotional one. We all share our (and your) favourite Dele memories and consider his unique legacy: What made him special? Where did it go wrong? We also, of course, review the January transfer window in full. Did we do enough to keep Antonio happy? How excited are we by Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur? Does anyone want to see Tanguy and Gio in N17 ever again? Plus, we cover a disappointing Cup result for Spurs Women, look ahead to the Brighton game and reveal our weekly cu...

“Water Under the Bridge”

January 26, 2022 10:52 - 1 hour - 99.3 MB

We review the highs of Leicester and sobering lows of Spurs-Chelsea IV before handing out mid-term grades to the entire squad. Also: just how will the final week of the transfer window go for Wingers FC? Should we chill out over Conte leaving us, or is that just a part of the neuroses of being a Spurs fan? Can Spurs Women bounce back from a tough couple of weeks? And, of course, our weekly culture picks (feat. a surprising Dawson's Creek detour). If you fancy skipping to certain bits: 00:0...

“Cry Your Heart Out”

January 18, 2022 12:27 - 1 hour - 84.5 MB

We also pay tribute to Lamela's Puskás Award win by considering the best ultimately pointless Spurs goals, commiserate over some last minute devastation for Spurs Women and reveal our weekly culture picks.

We tackle the Ndombele saga, make sense of the Chelsea and Morecambe debacles and preview the Carabao second leg and Arsenal game. The team also pay (quite underwhelming) tributes to Bergwijn, exchange some (not at all underwhelming) rants about various Spurs nonsense, Charlie tries to sell everyone on Adama and Tom requests an unlikely rebrand. All that, plus our weekly culture picks. If you fancy skipping to certain bits: 00:00 — Chelsea 1st leg and Morecambe chat 21.16 — Chelsea 2nd le...

January 07, 2022 13:54 - 55 minutes - 76.1 MB

Screenwriter and showrunner Joe Barton tackles our Spurs Seven questions, reveals whether Giri/Haji can be revived, discusses his upcoming Batman and Cloverfield projects plus much, much more. Joe’s Spurs Seven answers are superb: especially if you’re a fan of “brilliant, glorious failure”, Giovani dos Santos, the challenge of keeping your kids away from Arsenal, hooped socks and “mood enhancers” when watching Champions League semi-final second legs.  If you fancy skipping to certain bits: ...

“When We Were Young” (feat. Abbi Summers)

“Cold Shoulder”

December 03, 2021 23:21 - 48 minutes - 44.4 MB

The full HG team break down the Brentford win: How worried are we about H? Is Royal actually decent? Just what has Antonio done to Gentle Ben and Eric Dier? How good is Skipp exactly? Do we need to make more noise inside the stadium? And didn't the place look incredible! We then preview Norwich with cautious excitement and big up Rosa's Jenna Schillaci interview before reaching our weekly culture recommendations. Marvel and Beatles fans: you're in for a treat. If you fancy skipping to certa...

“One and Only” (feat. Jenna Schillaci)

November 30, 2021 07:38 - 46 minutes - 42.6 MB

Jenna Schillaci is a true Tottenham hero. She talks Rosa through her astonishing 12-year Spurs career: one that took in eight trophies and captaining our rise from regional football to leading us out in the WSL as a professional outfit. Coming from a huge Tottenham family, Jenna’s HG Spurs Seven answers are brilliant (we especially enjoyed hearing about her dad using his black cab to round up enough teammates for Jenna to play, changing room tunes, the team’s Sunday Fun Day, how we can all b...

“To Be Loved” (feat. Michael Dawson)

November 26, 2021 07:00 - 52 minutes - 48.3 MB

It's Daws! Our iconic former captain takes on the HG Spurs Seven and talks Conte, why us fans love him, struggles under Ramos and AVB and fun times with Jol and Redknapp, ketchup, his favourite Spurs shirts, Ledley, not wanting to go out in public when Spurs lost, Bale, having spag bol (and garlic bread) before every single game and much, much more. We love you, Michael Dawson. Follow us on Twitter: @_HometownGlory The team on Twitter: Ash, Billie T, Charlie, Rosa and Tom ... And we're o...
