A People's history of Spurs...in the 90s

In this episode I was joined by the co-authors of 'A People's history of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club' Alan Fisher and Martin Cloake. Their book, published in 2016, told the history of the club but told through the prism of supporters relationship with the club. We focused on the 80s and 90s and how supporters of the club reacted to on and off field matters from the decision to pull down The Shelf in 1988 to George Graham's appointment in 1998. We considered the mass commercialisation of football and how that affected everyday fans at White Hart Lane and what made Spurs fans challenges unique. Hosted on Acast.
