Reviews

[Matthew · Rating 4 out of 5]

It's not really a book to be reviewed as such, but a thing of beauty for any Spurs fan. It is an interesting read but if you're a Tottenham man then there won't be any great revelations here, it being more a journal of record. As a coffee table tome though (and as a great gift, thanks!) it really is fantastic. You may think you've seen all the photos from the double season but they've managed to uncover an entire treasure chest of classic shots that you'd almost want to frame each page. A must for any Spurs fan.
