Gareth Dace, the author of the brilliant 'Is Gascoigne Going To Have a Crack?' joins me to chat about his book detailing the magic, mayhem and mediocrity of the 1990s. I ask him why he would consider tormenting himself by writing this, but also thank him for pulling together a colourful tapestry of what is considered to be the most Tottenhamesque of decades. Pockets of iconic history, and moments of absolute desperation and disdain - for anyone that lived it, this will resonate massively.For those that didn't, it's worth understanding just how messed up this football club was back then (it really isn't comparable to the present day, regardless of what social media tells you).You can find Gareth on Twitter - @GarethDace Hosted on Acast.
