Is Gascoigne Going to Have a Crack? tells the story of Spurs in the 1990s, expertly guiding you through this exciting but chaotic time.
The 1990s are often seen as an era of misery for Tottenham Hotspur. They were undoubtedly that; at the moment that English football became commercially driven and outwardly focused the club fell in relevance from being one of the unofficial 'Big Five' in the 80s to mid-table also-rans by the start of the 2000s.
However, this is not a fair reflection of the fortunes of the club during the decade. The Gascoigne-inspired run to the 1991 FA Cup victory, the Gallic flair of David Ginola and the incredible excitement generated by the signing of Jurgen Klinsmann produced moments of unbridled joy and excitement.
From Sheringham to Sugar and Venables to Vega, this book journeys through a fascinating decade with a season-by-season account that incorporates the views of players and supporters who lived through a decade that contained a unique mix of magic, mayhem and mediocrity.
Gareth Dace is a first-time author who has lived and breathed Tottenham Hotspur since attending his first match in 1988. He wrote several articles for the My Eyes Have Seen the Glory fanzine, produced in the 1990s and early 2000s. His first book enables him to share his memories of a turbulent decade supporting Spurs while reflecting on the highs and lows the team endured.
