'Surviving Spurs In The 90s! - Part One'

In this episode of Last Word On Spurs, we welcome author Ewan Flynn, whose fascinating new book, When the Year Ends in One: How Tottenham Hotspur’s 1991 FA Cup Win Saved the Club and Transformed English Football, uncovers the remarkable story behind one of the most significant triumphs in Tottenham Hotspur's history.

While Gary Lineker, Paul Gascoigne and their teammates were battling their way towards Wembley glory, Spurs were fighting a battle of a very different kind behind the scenes. Facing an existential financial crisis, astronomical debts and the looming threat of action from Midland Bank, the club's very future was hanging in the balance.

Drawing on compelling accounts from players, club staff, supporters and broadcasters, Ewan takes us inside the drama of that unforgettable FA Cup campaign, revealing the extraordinary circumstances surrounding Tottenham's 1991 triumph.

But the story doesn't end with lifting the famous trophy. We also explore how that victory had far-reaching consequences for the future of English football, helping shape the Premier League breakaway and even playing a part in the survival of Sky TV.

It's a fascinating look at a defining moment in Spurs history, the people who made it happen, and how one FA Cup triumph helped change the football landscape forever.
