S2E43 | When The Year Ends In One

In this episode, we're joined by football writer Ewan Flynn to talk about his new book, When the Year Ends in One: How Tottenham Hotspur's 1991 FA Cup Win Saved the Club and Transformed English Football. We look back at that dramatic season — from Gazza’s unforgettable moments to the chaos in the Spurs boardroom, Robert Maxwell’s attempted takeover, and how winning the FA Cup kept the club afloat. Ewan also explains why the 1991 FA Cup run wasn’t just big for Spurs, but a turning point in English football as a whole. There are stories about Brian Clough, Chas & Dave, iconic kits, and a very different era of the game. It’s a deep dive into a season that shaped the modern Spurs — and one of the last truly romantic chapters in English football history. Learn more about your ad choices.
