The tale of Tottenham Hotspur's extraordinary run to the 2019 Champions League Final in Madrid. Authors Alex Fynn and Martin Cloake examine how Spurs confounded all predictions to enjoy their most successful ever CL campaign - and what it means for the future. They explain why a certain style of football and competing in Europe are central to the club's identity, and look at how manager Mauricio Pochettino drew on these traditions to create a very modern success story. Using match reports from national newspapers to provide the narrative thread, Fynn and Cloake draw on their football backgrounds to explain why this campaign so fired the imagination - in a season with no signings, played mostly without a home stadium. With a rich cast of characters and locations ranging from Eindhoven to Madrid via Barcelona and Dortmund - and one emotional night in Amsterdam - One Step from Glory tells the story of a football odyssey.

In this long awaited sequel to the best-selling Arsenal - The Making of Modern Superclub (first published in 2008 with new editions in 2009 and 2011) Alex Fynn and Kevin Whitcher examine the current state of Arsenal FC and their performance on and off the pitch since 2011.Has head coach Arsene Wenger become a 'Specialist in Failure' (an accusation levelled at him by Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho) or does he oversee one of the best run clubs in world football?Critics of Wenger cite his failure to replace key players, to adapt to the modern transfer market and an over-reliance on inexperienced players as reasons to doubt the Frenchman, while supporters point to the fact that Arsenal have qualified for the riches of the Champions League (Europe's most prestigious tournament) for 18 years in a row with a team that always plays attractive, attacking football as reasons to believe that the 2014 FA Cup is just won of many trophies still to be won by Wenger and Arsenal.Fynn and Whitcher have spoken to ex-players and to key members of staff at Arsenal to look at every facet of the club. From player wage structure to commercial activity, from youth team setup to transfer policy, from Board structures to the the fitness regime and seemingly endless string of injuries, the authors leave no stone unturned in their quest to explore the real story of Arsenal football club and their enigmatic manager.

This is the story of a season in the life of one of the Premier League's biggest clubs. But Tottenham Hotspur hold a unique position in that group, having won just two League Cups since the Premier League was formed and the modern football boom began.Authors Alex Fynn and Martin Cloake follow the team through the 2022/23 season, another in which promise came to nothing, and ask why it is that Spurs continually fail to take full advantage of opportunities presented by the modern game. A game the club helped create.Along the way in a season in which the fortunes of some of football's biggest names - including Antonio Conte and Harry Kane - would prove pivotal, they place the club's story in the context of the development of the world's most successful sporting league, drawing on the views of some of the key figures in the tale.An essential read for Spurs fans, this is also a look at what success means in today's global game, and what it takes to achieve it. It is a hard-hitting but balanced analysis of the way Tottenham Hotspur has been run for the last 20 years, written by two people who have close knowledge of the club.Still Dreaming follows on from 1996's book Dream On - "A Football Classic" FourFourTwo.* * * * *Reviews.One of those classic accounts of a campaign that outlines why people are immersed in football -- Miguel Delaney, Chief Football Writer, The IndependentPhenomenally good and compelling read about the modern Spurs era -- Douglas Alexiou, Tottenham Hotspur Chairman 1982-1984A sharp, informed commentary with inside knowledge on the state of the contemporary game with the fans' experience at its heart. -- Tottenham on My Mind (Spurs blog)The insightful Still Dreaming delivers a frank assessment of Enic and Spurs Chairman Daniel Levy in Spurs' evolution. -- Frank Dalleres, City AMRecommended. On how last season at Tottenham unravelled, but also on the wider experience of being a fan and how we experience football in 2023. -- Charlie Eccleshare, The AthleticA fascinating read. Remarkable moments, so much in it. Brilliantly documented throughout. -- Last Word on Spurs Podcast27 years after the brilliant "Dream on", the authors show they still have their fingers firmly on the Tottenham pulse, with the aptly named "Still dreaming". Much have changed for the better in those years, but some things also remain frustratingly the same. The Spurs 22/23 season is dissected with great insight, and it perversely makes it an even more enjoyable read, seeing how the team is now playing under Postecoglou. -- Erik Thorstvedt, Spurs and Norway International goalkeeper, 1988-1994A wonderful book. I read it in one sitting. Highly recommended -- Mike Leigh, Presenter of The Spurs Show Podcast* * * * *Authors.As a Director of Saatchi & Saatchi, Alex Fynn advised the FA, the Football League and several Premier League clubs, including Tottenham Hotspur, on media and marketing.
