A People''s History of Tottenham Hotspur is the story of how fans helped create the identity of a world-famous club and tells a story from a perspective rarely acknowledged. Drawing on social history, contemporary press reports and first-hand interviews with the fans themselves, authors Martin Cloake and Alan Fisher trace the club''s development from being the team of the suburbs and the rising south, through the glory years and the arrival of mass, popular culture, and into the modern era of the game. It is not a tale of trophies won and lost, of players bought and sold. Instead, it is the story of how one of the game''s oldest and most famous teams was formed and established by its fans and how its identity was created by them. It evaluates how the fans'' relationship with the club has evolved, as the game has changed: from those bygone days, when a club was at the heart of a local community, to the modern era, where the world''s leading football clubs have to compete as multinational ''brands'', appealing to fans on a global scale, stretching much further and wider than the north London footprint than the club''s founders would have ever imagined.

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.

With Steve Perryman, Ossie Ardiles, Ricky Villa, Tony Galvin, Paul Miller, Graham Roberts, Garry Brooke, Tony Parkes, George Mazzon and Peter Shreeve.They were the last great Spurs team. A tight-knit group of London lads laced with Latin creativity, Yorkshire grit and Scottish genius, playing for a few hundred quid a week and the glory of putting on the Tottenham shirt. They won two FA Cups and a UEFA Cup together, they went drinking together and they appeared on Top of the Pops together. They were The Boys From White Hart Lane.Renowned Tottenham authors Martin Cloake and Adam Powley have tracked down their childhood heroes to produce a book of wonderfully vivid and candid interviews with ten members of the team including Steve Perryman, Ossie Ardiles and Ricky Villa.It is a book that not only opens the doors of the White Hart Lane dressing room during this iconic period for the club, but takes the reader back in time to a football world before Premier League, multi-billionaire foreign owners and millionaire reserve players sitting on the bench in yellow boots and headbands.Packed with insight, revelations and wonderful stories - including the training ground prank which saw a player break his toe on a breeze block, the all-night drinking session in Swaziland and the story of how Ossie dented the FA Cup -The Boys From White Hart Lane is an intimate and eye-opening portrait of the men who put the glory back into Spurs."e;A cracking read. This is the real story of the greatest team I played in - and had the honour of captaining - and it's full of stories even I didn't know."e;Steve Perryman

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.
