All this Tottenham brilliance recently has got me to thinking of just how dark the days were for most of the 90's and 00's. But even then I remember getting properly excited about signings. Maybe even more than now because the weight of expectation was enormous. Hope and desperation were hard to separate. Could this player be the start of a new era of better fortunes?
The player I was most excited about joined us in 1998. He'd played at Inter, and for me the idea of us signing a former Inter full back felt like a massive step in the right direction. A defender who can defend. Steel. Attack from the back etc etc. I can't remember how many games he played, but it was fuck all before we shipped him out. Take a bow, Paolo Tramezzani.
