Product Description
Spurs Odyssey - 2006-07 Review by Paul Smith Spurs Odyssey is one of the longest-running and most popular of independent Spurs web sites, maintained by 55-year old Paul Smith, who started supporting his local football club during the time when they were busy winning the 1960-61 Double. Spurs Odyssey was established in the late 1990s, and carries Paul's exclusive match reports from first team, reserve and youth matches. Now, for the first time, Paul has decided to commit to paper all 59 match reports of the roller-coaster season that was 2006-07. It was a season that included three prolonged Cup runs in domestic and European competition, and culminated in a second successive qualification for the UEFA Cup through a fifth place finish. Respected by fans around the world, Paul is often told that reading his match reports is like "being at the game". Paul's reports are factual, objective, critical and sometimes humorous and emotional, conveying the true feeling of an ordinary fan following his team up and down the country, and across Europe.

This book is an excellent record of a season in which Spurs had three good cup runs and finished in fifth position in the premiership (equalling their position of the previous seson.
There is a well written report of each match played, with the teams, scorers,attendance and referee all shown.The two appendices show the final league table and details of each player's season (number of games played, goals scored and disciplinary record - a wealth of statistics for the anoraks amongst us.
Whilst the author is a Spurs fan, the reports are balanced and fair, and overall this book is a delight for those who,like me, follow Tottenham Hotspur

An excellent book recording the highs and lows for Spurs and their supporters throughout season 2006-07. The detailed match reports portray the emotions of all the fans, the excitement, the joy, the disappointment and the heartbreak - especially in the 'Bleeding Tottenham!' comment after the Carling Cup semi-final defeat. Every Spurs' fan can empathise precisely with the writer's thoughts and feelings.
The book is an excellent addition to any collection of books on Spurs and provides the reader with the records for every Spurs' game from last season.
This should become an annual production to record Spurs' season.

I thoroughly recommend this book, not just for Spurs fans, but for anyone passionate about The Beautiful Game.
