Former Spurs striker Teddy Sheringham on Ossie Ardiles wanting to sign Diego Maradona for Tottenham...
"We're going back a few years, and you're talking about people you'd want to sit down with, Maradona would have to be one.
"Ossie Ardiles was my manager at Tottenham, he came to me one afternoon.
"He said, 'I want your opinion on something, Ted. I'm thinking about signing someone, what do you think?'
"I went, 'Well, go on, who?' He went, 'Maradona'. I just erupted and was like, 'Ossie, just do it'. He said, 'Okay, it's in the pipeline'.
"He came back a couple of weeks later and said, 'Look, we can't sign him. There's too much baggage. But we're going to sign Klinsmann instead.'
"Five minutes later, Klinsmann was at the club and all was forgiven. But Maradona would have been a good one!"

Definitely say this every year but I have always hated the half arsed naming conventions.
All teams should be named by their proper name.
And, interesting for them to forget the alphabet at the end...
@Superspurs1982 In the last two seasons he's played 41 league games. Stick or twist time for me. Age 28 so you either build around him or you rebuild without him and use those funds. If you keep him you need more consistency both in availability and performances.
