About Me

Massive Spurs fan and writer. Some people might know me from my internet columns on Spurs, written under the imaginative moniker Allygold.Finally got round to writing my first book - Ode to Jol - which was published in September. It's all about the recent revolution that has taken place at the club and how we're finally getting our Tottenham Hotspur back.

A Game of Two Tottenhams

For 45 minutes yesterday I was screaming obscenities as if the days of Gary Doherty had returned. However, from around 6.15pm onwards my belief returned. I saw a performance that convinced me that aft...
