Taking on the production of a book that records everything that happened to do with Tottenham Hotspur on each day of the year is a mammoth undertaking by the author and it is one which just about encompasses all you could possibly want to know about the club. Running up to the end of the season at the time it was published (1998), each match and major incident is covered under a day-by-day format. It’s not all about the matches, although the big games have comment about them attached to their entries, but there is also biographical details on players and snippets of information on the importance of certain days in the club’s historical calendar.
You will find long-forgotten bits of Tottenham history that you once knew and you will also discover new bits of the story of the club that are fresh and will add to your Spurs knowledge. Graham Betts has put together a comprehensive piece of research to publish a book that it probably not one for reading from cover to cover, but one to dip in and out of at every opportunity to find out what went on in the glorious past of our club on the day in question.
