Product Description
Product Description
Rodney Marsh once infamously dubbed them 'the worst fans in Britain', but 'fickle' is the more familiar label applied to supporters of Tottenham Hotspur. But who are these seemingly forever unhappy fans, the caricatures beloved by the media and the marketing men? Are they a disparate group of people whose only real connection is a shared love for their club? More importantly, what have they got to say for themselves? We Are Tottenham puts Spurs supporters at the centre of the tale of a dramatic season at White Hart Lane, one in which fans' hero Glenn Hoddle was axed after only six games, and the club faced a fight for its reputation. In doing so, the book exposes the myth of the 'average football fan', providing a compelling account of the joy, frustration and absurdity of following a Premiership club. Rather than deliver a mere roll-call of games in a season vital to the club's future, We Are Tottenham uses the events and themes of the 2003-04 campaign to address the issues that matter to many football fans today, from the dominance of money to the passions of a local derby. Here you'll meet: the supporter still pining for the glory-glory years; the young fan desperate to see any
