There are some lovely pictures of Emma practising & wearing a Spurs top.

Unfortunately, I'm having a few techie problems at the moment, so I can't posy any of them here, but if anyone goes to Google Images and asks for Emma Raducanu wearing a Spurs top, you'll be offered loads of pics...

Just read an interview with Mick Jagger who said Charlie Watts (RIP) was a big Spurs fan. Has he been mentioned in the previous 43 pages?!

I mentioned it in the obituary thread. I heard Paul Hawksbee talking about it the day after Charlie died. Came as a big surprise to me and many of the older posters on here (not that he had died but was a big Spurs fan)

I was listening to this week's "Just A Minute " on the BBC iplayer and Paul Merton had the subject of "Choosing A Football Team " and he revealed that back in the 60s' he chose Tottenham because he loved Jimmy Greaves personality. If you can, have a listen, it was a fun minute of radio and the rest of the show wasn't bad either. COYS.

Just did a search and he was mentioned 3 years ago in this list, must of missed it,but still worth a listen.

Cheers. A very similar story for Mikey Holding, the W. Indies cricketing legend. He said earlier this year he used to follow Tottenham because he loved Greavesie but he doesn't follow football any more. I wonder if it's the same with Paul Merton and if so, I wonder if we can really call them celebrity fans'. I don't know.

"What makes you unhappy?
Tottenham Hotspur's continuing inability to win a major trophy."

Appears to be a big fan. This Q&A was from 2014 though, maybe he has given up being unhappy.
