“OK, publishing a book and releasing a movie is all very well, but Tottenham beating Man. U. 3-2... priceless.” FilmBooksTwitterSport2012Association FootballMidnight S ChildrenTottenham Hotspur FcJoseph AntonManchester United Fc Author:Salman Rushdie
“I last visited White Hart Lane in early February 2016, and as I took my seat, after a few pints in the (TV-less) concourse, in the upper tier of the South-West corner I couldn’t help but notice the tumbleweed rolling around the ground. The stony silence from areas of the ground where I would normally expect the home fans to be sitting was deafening, and the whole ground was reminiscent of a ghost town. Whenever the magnificent Watford support ceased singing for a brief second or two I could hear the hollow, dry wind, and I found the desolate, dry and humourless atmosphere all rather eerie. But here’s the weird thing. If I squinted my eyes it almost appeared as if 36,000 people were sitting in seats around the ground, and the only conclusion I could draw was that it just one guy and that it was all done with mirrors.” SpursFootball FanFootball SupportersTottenham Hotspur FcWatford F CWhite Hart Lane Book:Gunpowder Soup Source: Gunpowder Soup
