Gareth is joined by Rosa (Hometown Glory) and Dame Julie Welch to revisit the first three months of the season: the arrivals of Les Ferdinand and David Ginola, the legacy of David Howells, the emotional fallout from Teddy Sheringham’s departure, and the indifferent start that saw Gerry Francis leave the club in November. And then came his successor — Christian Gross — whose arrival at Heathrow brandishing an Underground travelcard instantly became Premier League folklore. This episode blends football, nostalgia and culture, with Rosa and Julie sharing vivid memories of university life, marathon training, Teletext letters, and the emotional rollercoaster of following Spurs in the late 90s. Part Two will open Season Three in September, picking up the story as Spurs enter a dramatic and near‑catastrophic six‑month period that ultimately ends in euphoric relief at Selhurst Park.
