## Resource

I was joined by Gerry Francis, our longest serving manager of the 90s, to relive life in the dugout at White Hart Lane. Gerry talks candidly about working with Alan Sugar, his enormous pride at managing Spurs and his role in the incredible 94/95 season. Gerry discussed the myth that he turned down the chance to sign Dennis Bergkamp as Klinsmann's replacement, signing Ginola and the way that English football was going as the 90s progressed. Gerry also talks about managing his son's severe OCD. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
