White Hart Lane has long been a source of humour to the impartial observer, but the late 90s was a high watermark.
There was Christian Gross and his London underground ‘ticket to the dreams’, a pre-‘Sir’ Alan Sugar struggling to juggle a failing club with a crumbling Amstrad empire, all coupled with the fans’ customary hubris. A heady mixture of farce.
Much like today, the club was characterised by a succession of over-priced, over-paid signings failing to deliver anything resembling ‘the goods’. But amongst names such as Chris Armstrong, Jose Dominguez, Ruel Fox and Paolo Tramezzani, there was one whose poor performances stood out above the rest. That man was Ramon Vega.
