Product Description
Spurs Odyssey - 2006-07 Review by Paul SmithSpurs Odyssey is one of the longest-running and most popular of independent Spurs web sites, maintained by 55-year old Paul Smith, who started supporting his local football club during the time when they were busy winning the 1960-61 Double.Spurs Odyssey was established in the late 1990s, and carries Paul's exclusive match reports from first team, reserve and youth matches.Now, for the first time, Paul has decided to commit to paper all 59 match reports of the roller-coaster season that was 2006-07. It was a season that included three prolonged Cup runs in domestic and European competition, and culminated in a second successive qualification for the UEFA Cup through a fifth place finish.Respected by fans around the world, Paul is often told that reading his match reports is like "being at the game". Paul's reports are factual, objective, critical and sometimes humorous and emotional, conveying the true feeling of an ordinary fan following his team up and down the country, and across Europe.
About the Author
Paul Smith is 55, and has followed Spurs since they were busy winning the 1960-61 League and Cup Double. The most inportant people in his life though are his loving wife of 29 years - Christine - and his two sons - Brad and Greg. When he is not following his beloved team, Paul lives and works in Hertfordshire. Paul's all-time football hero is Spurs' record goal-scorer Jimmy Greaves, and Paul was lucky enough to be in the White Hart Lane stadium when Jimmy scored many of his historic goals, such as his 200th League goal for Spurs; his 300th League goal in total; and a hat-trick goal against a very young Peter Shilton on October 5th, 1968. Paul travelled to Rotterdam in 1974 for the infamous UEFA Cup Final game against Feyenoord, and was present on happier occasions such as the ticker-tape debut of Ossie Ardiles and Ricky Villa in 1978. For family and economic reasons, Paul had to be an armchair fan for several years, but became a home season ticket holder at White Hart Lane in 1994. Paul has been a home and away season ticket holder for several years now. Between February 2001 and September 2006, Paul attended 200 consecutive league and cup games! Paul is the webmaster of the very popular Spurs Odyssey web site (www.spursodyssey.com). Paul is also on the board of the Tottenham Hotspur Supporters' Trust. With effect from the 2007 edition, Paul has been asked to write the profiles of all Spurs players who qualify for an entry in the PFA "Who's Who" of League Footballers. During the 2006-07 season, Paul was interviewed in Prague for BBC London Television, and in Seville for Sky Sports News. In previous seasons, Paul has taken part in various sports radio talk shows.
