The wind is blowing, the rain is falling, and the nights are drawing in. Yes, my friends summer is over so now we need to concentrate on the FA Cup. No, you are right we don’t. We have taken our share and a bit out of the FA’s wallet. Well that’s what we thought 11 years ago when we got this far. T he buzz gets to everyone and the expectation is that we can do it again, under estimate us at your peril.

Now I know many at this Club are Spurs supporters and I am not one to rub salt in the wound, but the Gooner that left a crate of seven up by the bar, I’m sorry that’s poor taste. It does bring me on to a subject of a book released by a former Spurs Manager. This man has become a star after appearing in the jungle and some would say with his background a natural environment.

Now Harry’s defence at his tax evasion trial hinged in part on his own admission that he was to all intents and purposes illiterate. He claimed he had never written a letter in his life and when he did write he wrote like a two-year-old.

To his intense credit Harry hasn’t let not being able to write hold him back as a writer. Since he was cleared of all charges, he has published three books. Harry portrays himself as a salt-of-the-earth cockney sparra. Nothing gives him the raving needle like your fancy dans who think football’s about algorithms and statistics. According to Harry, they ain't football people. Harry describes modern Youth Development as “It’s no longer the case of young players learning to play the game, its all about making money”

Harry is always prepared to tell anecdotes about his signing of players and dealing with agents by being street wise, which really makes him a little cannier than he appeared in the jungle. It would appear he has a Manager at the ripe old age of 72 and an Instagram account which is run by his granddaughter. Perhaps that’s because he appears in so many adverts with different brand names.

Harry may not be able to write but he does know football, which means he will know about giving the keeper the eyes. I understand it’s a useful literary technique and works reasonably well against HMRC.

And on that bomb shell...
