22.2.98
- Christian Pannucci, the former
AC Milan left-back, now at Real Madrid, has not
settled in Spain and has stated that he would be
interested in a move to England. The interested
clubs are led by Spurs and Arsenal.
- Midfielder Danny Hill, unable
to get a look-in at White Hart Lane, has left for
Cardiff City on loan for one month and maybe
until the end of the season. He has joined the
Bluebirds to put himself in the shop window as he
may be among the players released at the end of
the season.
19.2.98
- Moussa Saib to sign next week
from Valencia. The Algerian midfielder has said
he will sign for Tottenham for £2.5 million
according to the Evening Standard. Spurs have
been chasing him for some time and now the new
manager at his Spanish Primera Liga club does not
fancy him, he is looking for first team action.
Christian Gross has said that this is likely to
be the last signing this season. It still leaves
the left-back berth open, perhaps for Edinburgh
to stake a claim, but Tottenham representatives
have been seen at Crewe; perhaps to check out the
form of Seth Johnson.
- Former Spur Paul Moran is
rumoured to be set to sign for fellow Ryman
League side Borehamwood, who also have ex-Spur
Kerry Dixon on their books.
- Rugged Spurs defender of the
1980’s Graham Roberts has been sacked as
manager of Vauxhall Conference side Yeovil. He
received the old heave-ho after a fax found
it’s way into the Stevenage Town dressing
room, wishing them ill in their FA Cup tie with
Newcastle United.
- The news of Ian Moores death
recently was a shock. Though he became the butt
of the Spurs crowd, he was an important part of
the side that returned to Division One (as it was
then) in 1978. His untimely passing away after
suffering for some time from cancer is
particularly poignant for those who watched him
from the terraces.
