ghosts of players past
Ask any Yiddo you come across what they think Spurs are lacking most this season, and I’d be willing to wager that more than three quarters would reply that a No.9 would be at the top of their priority list. Sure, a quick look at the squad list shows four international strikers in Defoe, Crouch, […]
