EPISODE 33 - David Ginola

Off The Shelf is back! And back in some style with none other than the magic of David Ginola 🪄 The late 1990s at Spurs: a time synonymous with our iconic number 1️⃣4️⃣. With an aura that transcended football, David was an entertainer who dazzled time and again with his flowing locks and artistry on the ball that would torment his opposite full-back whilst mesmerising the Spurs faithful. When David talks, you listen. This is a fascinating episode with spell-binding anecdotes that have you captivated in a way that he used to do with the ball at his feet at White Hart Lane 🤩 Relive the magic of the Frenchman's incredible journey and, of course, his unforgettable spell in north London that brought a worldie against Barnsley on our way to League Cup glory in 1999 and saw him claim the PFA Player of the Year in the process. Get ready for a nostalgic journey of a player and person who brought pure joy to Spurs fans and made him a true hero in Lilywhite 🤍 Watch on SPURSPLAY - https://play.tottenhamhotspur.com/home For more on Tottenham Hotspur: Club App - tottenhamhotspur.com/spurs-official-app YouTube - youtube.com/channel/UCEg25rdRZXg32iwai6N6l0w?sub_confirmation=1 Twitter - https://twitter.com/SpursOfficial TikTok - tiktok.com/@spursofficial?lang=en Instagram - instagram.com/spursofficial Facebook - facebook.com/TottenhamHotspur Spurs Shop - shop.tottenhamhotspur.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Off The Shelf will bring you even closer to our great Club, telling often untold stories from the current playing squad to the legends who went before them, the staff who keep everything ticking over behind the scenes and, of course, our fans - the heartbeat of Spurs. Each podcast is dedicated to its subject, shining a light on their careers and the stories that define them. How did Ledley King feel when he was told he’d have to retire? How did Jenna Schillaci react when she was told she couldn’t play football as a young girl? How did Oliver Skipp climb through the ranks from Academy to first team? How did Molly Bartrip overcome serious health issues to reach the top of the women’s game? What was the one thing Heurelho Gomes wished for when he left home in Brazil to pursue his dream in Europe? You’ll hear those answers and more across the series… And who better to present our podcast than one of our modern-day greats and fans' favourite, Michael Dawson! 'Daws' joined us in January, 2005 and spent nine years at the Club, making 324 appearances in all competitions for us until departing in the summer of 2014. Michael finally retired after 20 seasons as a professional for Nottingham Forest, Spurs and Hull City in August, 2021, and stepped straight into new roles as our Club Ambassador and as a panellist on Soccer Saturday on Sky Sports. A true leader, Daws radiates enthusiasm - his love for the Club shines through.
