Anyone here remember or heard of Bobby Almond, he was a member of the first Spurs side to win the FA youth cup in 1970, he also went on to play in the 1982 World Cup for New Zealand! My interview with former Spurs man and 1970 FA youth cup winner Bobby Almond:
Our under 18's play their final league game of the season tomorrow. It's an NLD against Woolwich at Hotspur Way.
That escalated quickly
Well that game was quite something! Excellent way to wrap up the season, every player was a 10. Woolwich albeit a younger side were totally overhwelmed, defenders arguing with each other. It was brilliant to watch. COYS
Latest rumours were he's off to RB Leipzig.
thats a bit shit.
33 goals and circa a dozen assists this season for Griffiths.
Would certainly be one to try to keep - rumours are that he cannot see a way to first team and that's why he wants to leave. Would love Poch to tell him he's in the squad for the pre-season International Champions Cup....

Considering those travelling are likely to be fringe players and youth players - I'd love for us to take him. No point taking the likes of Harrison if he hasn't got a future here. He seems to like Sterling, so worth taking him, Janssen and perhaps Griffiths too.
4 goals and 3 assists today isn't to be sniffed at. It's an incredible return.

#thfc I'm told Development Squad midfielder, Joe Pritchard who is to be released on 30 June is on trial at Cheltenham Town and is set to play for their reserves today.pic.twitter.com/d3xFcKC0tZ
Other Development Squad members rumoured to be off at the end of the season (or 30 June as that's when contracts run out) would be Tom Glover (GK), Christian Maghoma (CB), Shilow Tracey, Ryan Loft and maybe a few others such as Dylan Duncan who haven't played much in the u21's this season.
In terms of the Academy Year 2, Charlie Freeman (GK), Matt Lock (RB/RM) and Moroyin Omolabi (who may already have left) and even perhaps Tariq Hinds (LB/LM) look likely to leave.
Which would leave Jon de Bie (GK), TJ Eyoma (CB/RB) , Jon Dizeyi (CB), Tashan Oakley-Boothe (CM) Jamie Reynolds (mid/LB) and hopefully Reo Griffiths (striker) to join the Development squad next season.

Could also be the reason he's doing so well. A bit like Jay Emmanuel Thomas and Dominic Solanke before him.
It's a really strange one.
On the one hand, he's physically imposing on the oppo. Will he be overtaken as other more skillful players beef up? On the other, he's only played striker for a couple of years, so you'd think there would be masses of room for improvement.
Even alot of Spurs fans who watch loads of youth games are undecided, when with that scoring record they all ought to be declaring him the next Kane.
If his mind's made up to go to RB, there's eff all that the club will do about it. If he turns out to be the next kane, it will haunt us for 10 years. Sell with a buy back clause? Do they even work?
In this case Griffiths is coming to the end of his Academy Scholarship, and has not (yet ?) signed a professional contract. So if he goes anywhere Spurs are entitled to compensation for the cost of him being trained to date, but that's not mega bucks, and no opportunity for a sell back clause or a % of a future sale clause
