  After the dog days of the last two decades, it seems as if the sleeping giant of White Hart Lane is stirring once more. With the management reigns of Jacques Santini, George Graham and Christian Gross but distant memories, the club is on the march once more under the leadership of Daniel Levy, looking forward to bringing back the glory days. With exciting young talent such as Aaron Lennon, Tom Huddlesetone and Gareth Bale, along with experienced internationals, Peter Crouch, Ledley King and Jermain Defoe, under Harry Redknapp's watchful eye, there's now a solid base to build on. Perhaps more than most, the club has had its share of ups and downs and more than its share of characters. This book is a collection of quotes from those who have passed through London N17 and some who are still there, soundbites that range from the inspired to the insane, from the profound to the surreal. From Danny Blanchflower, Jimmy Greaves, Paul Gascoigne and Sir Alan Sugar, to Daniel, Harry and Jermain, few clubs can boast so many people with so much to say for themselves. Tottenham Hotspur have a proud tradition and a very loyal support, and this book captures the flavour of both.
