Another fantastically fun book from Chris Cowlin. The 2015/16 season was the one where Spurs fans really began to believe again, when memories of Bill Nicholson’s title winning side returned and Tottenham came so close to bringing that trophy home. The fans invested so much in the campaign, through all the joy and relatively little pain (for Spurs) and the questions in this book will bring it all back for them while testing their knowledge. Top notch stuff.

A brilliant book which helps cast your mind back to some of the brilliant moments Tottenham produced in the 2015/16 season. Well worth a read for Spurs fans and a great Christmas stocking filler.
