Tottenham Hotspur

JEP Sport's temps passé feature series continues with Paul Lees looking back to when Tottenham Hotspur brought a team of superstars to Jersey for a ...

Substitute Jan Huet produced a beautiful lob to score Jersey’s second, only for Spurs to restore their five-goal parity when Falco got his second of the game, ‘slammed in’ according to Mannion and his, by now, well-thumbed thesaurus. Putting that on couldn’t have felt too comfortable for Brooke and big defender John Lacy, who had both been loaned to their hosts for the friendly. ‘Stung by this affront,’ Gibson scored again for the guests with a ‘thundered’ effort but Jersey never gave up. ‘I understand they had the opportunity of playing in Cyprus and Portugal, but they chose Jersey,’ said Gruchy about his illustrious guests. In fact, they came the year before, in early February, this time with both Hoddle and Jones. Spurs’ main attraction, in Glenn Hoddle, was away with the England team for a British Home Championship (remember that?) match 24 hours later against Northern Ireland at Wembley (he scored in the 89th minute to seal a 4-0 win), in which Ray Clemence also kept goal.

The north London club's full financial results mention some of the plans for the future at the stadium complex along the Tottenham high road.

"The principal activities of the group continue to be the operation of both a men's and a women's professional football club in England together with associated commercial activities. "The men's team ultimately finished the season in fourth place in the Premier League, securing Champions League qualification. "The comparative season in the statements, the 2020-21 season, was severely disrupted by the global pandemic caused by COVID-19 and consequently the season was played predominantly behind closed doors resulting in lost matchday revenue. "The 2021-22 season saw fans return to the stadium following the previous season being played predominantly behind closed doors. There are a number of projects at the southern end of the site (hotel and residential) which will be ultimately developed when appropriate." [releasing their annual financial results earlier this month](https://www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/news/daniel-levy-totenham-financial-results-26204461), the club have since published the full 52-page document which touches on current and future projects.
