One of the pleasures of filling this space can be the people with whom you end up conversing. Sometimes the opposite is true, but most weeks it means an email from a lovely chap named Terry, who is in his Eighties and a lover of all sport and particularly football.
He is a historian of the game, you see. And one of his areas of greatest fascination is Tottenham Hotspur. Recently he gave a talk in his local pub in Lancashire about Arthur Rowe, whose influence on the game is rather incredible but whose name has largely faded from view.
