On this episode of Last Word On Spurs, we're delighted to welcome back a very special guest and one of the most knowledgeable figures to have been associated with Tottenham Hotspur, former Spurs manager, director of football and scout David Pleat!

With his decades of experience at N17, David joins us for an in-depth and fascinating conversation covering the past, present and future of Tottenham Hotspur.

We begin by reflecting on Spurs' dramatic escape from relegation on the final day of last season before asking the big question: where has it all gone wrong at Tottenham over the last two seasons?

David gives us his thoughts on the decisions, direction and underlying issues that have brought the club to this point.

We also get David's insight into the departure of Daniel Levy after 25 years at the helm, examine what his exit means for the future of the football club and ask whether the Lewis family are genuinely serious about taking Tottenham forward and delivering the success supporters desperately crave.

Turning our attention to the present, we discuss Spurs' start to the season under Roberto De Zerbi, what the Italian can realistically go on to achieve in North London and whether David believes he is the right man to lead the club into a new era.

There's also a fascinating conversation around Harry Kane, following his remarkable achievement of winning the Ballon d'Or. Could we ever see the England captain return to N17? Would a homecoming be possible?

Looking ahead to the January transfer window, who does David believe would be the ideal striker for Tottenham to bring through the door to help Spurs strenghten their blunt attack?

A reminder David's autobiography, 'Just One More Goal', which charts his remarkable journey from England Schoolboy football to becoming a Tottenham Hotspur scout, spanning decades of change and offering a unique perspective on football's evolution from a game of spontaneous expression to today's highly technical industry is available to buy now!
