Description

From the 'team of the century' to relegation, from Feyenoord to Field Mill, from trophies under the iconic Bill Nicholson to relegation under former Zambia coach Keith Burkinshaw - all in a little over three years.

The 1970s weren't kind to Spurs. Nicholson's exit, the loss of legendary players and the club's eventual relegation all took place during a defining decade for British sport, painted against a backdrop of dramatic change for society at large.

Social and economic malaise both informed and fed off a blooming culture of football hooliganism.

The defining images of the decade were violent ones, both on and off the terraces.

This book explores Tottenham's place in that unfolding drama, the club's own Goetterdammerung.

But, as in Wagner's Ring, there was also a renaissance.

The sun rose again as that same maligned Burkinshaw built an exciting team around the young Glenn Hoddle and World Cup-winning duo Ossie Ardiles and Ricky Villa.

By the end of the decade, Tottenham had been reborn and were ready for more glory, glory days.
