How did one of England's most famous clubs find itself in the Second Division — and did Tottenham's year outside the top flight ultimately help transform English football?Season 5 of By Far The Greatest Team continues with Tottenham Hotspur's 1977–78 promotion season — a story of relegation, recovery, final-day tension and the beginnings of a new era at White Hart Lane.Jamie Rooney and Graham Dunn are joined by regular guest Stu Burgess to revisit a moment when Spurs were searching for a way forward.The glory years under Bill Nicholson were over. Tottenham had finished bottom of the First Division in 1976–77, while the controversial sale of legendary goalkeeper Pat Jennings to Arsenal added to the feeling that the club had lost its direction.But Spurs kept faith with manager Keith Burkinshaw.With Steve Perryman providing the leadership and a young Glenn Hoddle revealing his extraordinary talent, Tottenham attempted to return to the top flight at the first opportunity.They scored more goals than anyone else in the division, including an extraordinary 9–0 victory over Bristol Rovers, during which debutant Colin Lee scored four times. Yet a late-season wobble meant promotion remained uncertain until a tense final-day goalless draw at Southampton secured third place ahead of Brighton on goal difference.Jamie, Graham and Stu examine the drama of the campaign while asking whether Tottenham's promotion represented a convincing recovery or simply a narrow escape.The story then moves into the summer of 1978.With restrictions on overseas players being relaxed, Burkinshaw and Tottenham made the remarkable decision to sign Argentina's World Cup winners Osvaldo Ardiles and Ricky Villa.They were not part of the promotion team, but their arrival became the defining next chapter in the story that promotion made possible — changing Tottenham and helping open English football to a more international future.Along the way, there are the usual football-history rabbit holes, including changing transfer regulations, wonderfully dated broadcasting and the cultural impact of two Argentine World Cup winners arriving in north London.Finally, the 1977–78 Tottenham side faces the question asked of every team on By Far The Greatest Team:How great were they?Style of PlayKeith Burkinshaw's Tottenham remained committed to attacking football throughout their season in the Second Division.Glenn Hoddle supplied vision, creativity and technical class, while Steve Perryman provided energy, intelligence and authority.Spurs scored 83 goals in 42 league matches and could overwhelm opponents when everything clicked. However, this remained a transitional and occasionally vulnerable side — ambitious, entertaining and rarely inclined to achieve anything the easy way.

James Norwood joins Gaz and G Stop to chat about his career, from having trials once at Crystal Palace and missing a lads' holiday to Zante, right through to becoming a goalscoring phenomenon at Tranmere Rovers, playing for and being suspended by Ipswich Town, Joey Barton turning him down at Bristol Rovers, sneaking in an extra year at Barnsley, and regretting ever turning up at Oldham Athletic. Norwood doesn't hold back either. He talks about dealing with internet trolls, finding his next club, the managers he's worked under, some of the crazy moments from his career and the realities of life as a professional footballer travlling up and down the country chasing contracts. There's the story of missing a holiday to sign for Exeter City, some brilliant tales from Forest Green Rovers and why he now hates the club, choosing National League Tranmere Rovers over then-Championship side Burton Albion, scoring in a play-off final, and knocking Forest Green out of the League Two play-offs. We also get into his time at Ipswich Town, playing with his back to goal, injuries, being suspended and the problems that eventually saw him leave. And then there's Oldham... Norwood opens up about joining Oldham Athletic, wanting to leave after just one game, the fallout behind the scenes and why he ultimately regrets making the move. Plus, there's boozing before Leeds, questionable social media posts, mouldy showers and some brutally honest opinions on managers.

Beth oeddech chi'n neud yn 15 mlwydd oed? Ddim yn chwarae i Gaerdydd, mae hynny'n sicr. Ond dyna mae Noah Anyadike wedi ei gyflawni ar ôl cael ei ddewis i gychwyn mewn gêm yng Nghwpan y Gynghrair i'r Adar Gleision. Yn sicr, mae gan y rheolwr Brian Barry-Murphy meddwl mawr o'r Cymro ifanc. Ai dyma'r seren nesaf i gamu allan o'r academi?Ychydig wythnosau'n ôl, roedd Bobby Kamwa yn arwr i gefnogwyr Casnewydd. Tydi o ddim bellach. Aeth Kamwa rhy bell wrth ddathlu yn wynebau'r cefnogwyr Casnewydd ar ôl sgorio i'w glwb newydd Bristol Rovers?Owain Llŷr sy'n ymuno gyda Malcolm Allen ac Owain Tudur Jones.

Aaron Paul and Jobi McAnuff are joined by Tranmere boss Darrell Clarke to discuss the big stories in the EFL.Darrell explains how his defender Bobby Faulkner ended up in goal and the panel discuss Bobby Kamwa's Adebayor-esque celebration against his former club Newport.Millwall, Charlton and West Brom are the early pace-setters in the Championship - while Leicester are already struggling in League One, but will Russell Martin be given the time to turn it around?And in 72PLUS 72MINUS, there's a Puskas contender in the Championship and a pantomime moment in League Two.This season we now have our very own 72+ feed on BBC Sounds - where you can listen to episodes every week.We'll continue to bring you all the same content you've been enjoying here, with the biggest stories from the EFL, exclusive guests and the moments everyone is talking about.TIMECODES: 01:21 - Darrell Clare on putting a defender in goal and Tranmere's busy summer 09:56 - Bristol Rovers striker Bobby Kamwa goes full Adebayor  17:29 - Could Charlton be a surprise package? 22:05 - Millwall setting the early Championship pace 25:42 - West Brom impressing after a summer of change 32:15 - Can Russell Martin get Leicester moving?

Simon Davies, Nathan Blake and Lee Trundle react to Bobby Kamwa's exuberant celebration in front of the Newport fans after scoring for Bristol Rovers. After being targeted by the visiting County contingent on Saturday, Kamwa raced the length of the field to goad the fans who adored him last season for scoring crucial goals in the fight against relegation. Should fans learn to take it if they give it, or did Kamwa overstep the mark?And after Erling Haaland's new haircut caused a stir, Simon reminds Nathan and Lee of some of their own dubious styles a long time ago.

Pod regular Alfie was on match diary duties for this one, as County made the short hop across the Severn for a derby against Bristol Rovers.

On this week's episode of The Joy of Football Podcast, Martin Tyler and Neil Barnett complete their 2026/27 Premier League season preview, turning to the final ten clubs and asking what success looks like for each. From Manchester United, Liverpool and Manchester City chasing the biggest prizes to Newcastle United's rebuild, Tottenham Hotspur's new era and Sunderland balancing Premier League football with Europe, the pair assess the biggest questions ahead. The preview begins with Hull City, Ipswich Town, Leeds United, Liverpool and Manchester City. Newly promoted Hull and Ipswich face Premier League survival, while Daniel Farke's Leeds look to build on an impressive first season back and target the top half. At Liverpool, the departures of Mohamed Salah, Ibrahima Konaté and Andy Robertson signal another period of change. Can they return to the Premier League title race and mount another serious UEFA Champions League challenge? Then comes one of the season's biggest questions: what happens to Manchester City after Pep Guardiola? With Enzo Maresca succeeding Guardiola after ten extraordinary years, City are undergoing a major transformation. Martin and Neil discuss the departures of John Stones, Nathan Aké and Bernardo Silva, the arrival of Elliot Anderson, the future of Rodri, Maresca's philosophy and whether Erling Haaland, Phil Foden and Gianluigi Donnarumma can keep City among England's elite. Martin's Letter From The Gantry heads to York City, as Martin fulfils a promise to attend the club's return to the English Football League after ten years away. Alongside fellow commentator and York supporter Guy Mowbray and Liverpool legend Mark Lawrenson, Martin reflects on York's journey back to the EFL and a thrilling 3 2 victory over Bristol Rovers. He also tells the stories of Ollie Pearce and Joe Felix, two players whose journeys through non league football eventually led them to the Football League. Back in the Premier League, attention turns to Manchester United, Newcastle United, Nottingham Forest, Sunderland and Tottenham Hotspur. Michael Carrick begins his first full season in charge of Manchester United with Champions League football returning to Old Trafford. Martin and Neil discuss Youri Tielemans, Andrey Santos, Casemiro and Marcus Rashford, and ask whether United can close the gap to Arsenal and become genuine Premier League title contenders. Few clubs face more change than Newcastle United. With Eddie Howe gone and Sandro Tonali, Bruno Guimarães and Anthony Gordon all departing St James' Park, Martin and Neil examine a dramatic summer on Tyneside. After years of expectation following the club's Saudi backed takeover, are Newcastle moving closer to the Premier League elite, or have they taken a significant step backwards? Nottingham Forest begin a new era under Oliver Glasner, while Sunderland prepare for one of the most exciting and difficult seasons of their recent history. After earning Europa League football, Martin questions whether Sunderland can surprise Premier League opponents again while competing in Europe. With Granit Xhaka staying and Brian Brobbey potentially crucial, can Sunderland enjoy a European adventure without risking Premier League survival? Finally, Tottenham Hotspur enter another new chapter under Roberto De Zerbi after consecutive 17th place Premier League finishes. Following a huge summer including the arrival of Sandro Tonali, Martin and Neil ask whether Spurs can finally leave their struggles behind and return to the battle for Champions League qualification. With all 20 clubs now previewed across Episodes 123 and 124, Martin Tyler and Neil Barnett give their verdict on the teams, players, managers and stories that could define the 2026/27 Premier League season. #PremierLeague #PremierLeaguePreview #MartinTyler #ManchesterUnited #Liverpool #ManchesterCity #NewcastleUnited #Tottenham #Sunderland #LeedsUnited #NottinghamForest #MarcusRashford #ErlingHaaland #MichaelCarrick #TransferNews #ChampionsLeague #EuropaLeague #FootballPodcast Hosted by The Revive Lounge Ltd UCsdye1hUxP4xhgBx9zvuSjg Subscribe to https://youtube.com/@TheReviveLounge?si=L5ddzrJrtSmErtJ5 Support the Pod https://patreon.com/TheJoysofFootballPodcast?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink Read us on Substack https://martintylerandneilbarnett.substack.com/ Follow our Twitter https://x.com/TheJOF Follow our Tik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@joy_of_football_pod?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc Follow our Instagram https://https://www.instagram.com/joy_of_football_pod/ Contact us via: therevivelounge@gmail.com Music by Arron Clague - https://www.instagram.com/arronclague?igsh=aHg1bjQ3OHpmaXIz Intro Sequence by Wellong Sadewo (wells.illustration): https://www.instagram.com/wells.illustration/ A massive thank you to our Patreon Supporters: Nick Parmenter Hillary Abbott Daniel Butigan Tommy Mck Katie Watson Nathan A Learn more about your ad choices.

In fact, Bristol took recalled him in January only to allow him to return to Cheltenham at the end of the month. Isaac's others clubs thus far: Southend United, Derby County, Forest Green Rovers, Crawley Town and Walsall. Where he's stayed for a while, Hutchinson has done well, but his story is typical of League and League 2 football - constant change and movement. In this conversation we talk about the challenge of a nomadic lifestyle, the lapsed friendships and the commitment required from Isaac's partner who has followed him around the country. We also discuss the skill of gelling quickly with new teammates on and off the pitch.Isaac was a big fan of Chelsea's all-time leading scorer Frank Lampard growing up and we talk about the importance of repetitive practice to hone those runs and finishes from midfield. I enjoyed this. I hope you do too. Being a pro player sounds very glamorous. But I have huge admiration for these guys' abilities to adapt to new environments amid such flux. 

Town are hammered by Bristol Rovers, Alex finally attends a game — and may not be rushing back. Mike dies on a hill over corners and how to defend them, as we get stuck into double pivots, getting it in the mixer, and why we struggle against the so-called weaker sides in the division. Is the reaction justified, or are things getting a little over the top? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
