Andy only played in one of the four Intertoto games, but his memories of the trip to Cologne are rich and revealing: the intimidating atmosphere, the world‑class opposition, the makeshift Spurs squad, and the surreal feeling of being treated like a first‑team player in a competition the club didn’t take seriously. Alongside that story, Andy reflects on his wider Spurs journey — the broken leg that nearly derailed his youth career, the thrill of his Premier League debut, the encouragement he received from senior players, and the injuries that shaped the rest of his footballing life. This episode blends nostalgia, honesty and one of the strangest footnotes in Spurs’ history.
