The Athletic FFC.

Hello, brilliant. Welcome once again to The Viewfinal Lane, the award-winning Tottenham-Odspur podcast from The Athletic.

A different podcast for you again. The last one looked firmly into the future with Tottenham's new administrative setup and where we are and who we are and what

we are. Today's podcast will largely be one of nostalgia looking back at a great era and a difficult

era and a dramatic era in Spurs' history because, well, we'll later on be joined by James Moore

to get all the latest from Spurs

post the international round, particularly a very good result for the women's team as well.

But for the first part of the show, we're going to be joined by Garrett Day, who's written

a new book called Hot Shot Tottenham.

And it's a history of Spurs during the 1980s, an era, as I said, of flare and turmoil

and transformation, both for Spurs and the 1980s, an era, as I said, of flare and turmoil and transformation, both for Spurs and the English game.

First of all, Gareth, welcome aboard.

Hello, Danny. Thanks so much for having me on.

We're really, really pleased.

I mean, I'm fascinated by the book because you look a bit younger than me, so I actually saw all these games.

I was going to Spurs really regularly, home and away, not always away, at this throughout most of the 80s, so I'll be

remembering and testing your book for Veracity. We should start, though, Gareth, with the news

came out of the club yesterday that's Tony Galvin. One of the central figures to Soctham's great team in the early 80s

is recovering, with all God's speed, from a stroke. So the best wishes, of course, to Tony Galvin

and to his family as his health looks to improve. I'll probably talk to James a little bit later about

what Tony Galvin brought to the team. So your new book, you've written another book about Spurs

in the 90s, and I suspect that you were there for some of those games. Why turn to the 1980s
