Gillingham out to upset Tottenham, says Gills boss and former Spurs player Justin Edinburgh

Gillingham boss Justin Edinburgh dreams of managing Tottenham one day and wants to impress his former club by knocking them out of the EFL Cup.

Edinburgh returns to White Hart Lane on Wednesday for the first time as a player or manager since spending 10 years there between 1990 and 2000.

The 46-year-old is now into his second full season in charge of Gillingham and for the first time will be cheering on a Spurs defeat when the teams meet in the EFL Cup third round.

Tottenham, however, remain close to Edinburgh's heart and he would love to stand in Mauricio Pochettino's place at some point in the future.
