With the sale of Harry 'he's one of our own' Kane - arguably the finest player in Tottenham Hotspur's history - ENIC's Daniel Levy-led ownership of Spurs has now entered injury time at the end of borrowed time for fans.
It is almost incomprehensible looking at Gascoigne now - ravaged as he is by alcoholism and repeated bouts of poor mental health - to believe that he is the same man once heralded as the world's finest footballer. The BBC's new two-part documentary Gazza adroitly charts the meteoric rise that catapulted Gascoigne to a level of stardom and scrutiny unlike anything ever encountered by a British footballer before. But it is its sympathetic and compassionate handling of his inexorable descent that makes the film a standout.

The opening voiceover to Amazon's nine-part documentary series charting Tottenham's 2019-20 campaign, claims "the season will be "one of the most defining in the club's history." Spoiler alert, Tottenham finished 6th in the Premier League and did not progress beyond the Round of 16 in the cups.
Paul Gascoigne left the 1991 FA Cup final on a stretcher, he should have been sent off in the first minute. How history would have looked very different for Gazza, Brian Clough, Graham Taylor and Denmark if referee Roger Milford had brandished his red card.
The skittles and vodka were on ice at Jamie Vardy’s house as Tottenham visited Stamford Bridge knowing failure to win would see Leicester crowned champions. Spurs wouldn’t go down without a fight, literally.
This very week one year ago, Daniel Levy, Spurs Chairman, was taking a metaphorical victory lap of the new £1billion Tottenham Hotspur Stadium following its official opening. Twelve months later he has announced the club's non-playing staff will all be taking a pay cut or furloughed at taxpayers’ expense during football's indefinite coronavirus shutdown.
Injury time in General Election 2019 - politicians don’t always get the right result when they try and ‘mix it’ with football
The best day of the football season? Easy - it’s the Fantasy League auction the week before it starts.
