Continuing a feature which will run throughout this season, where we ask our former players who host our hospitality lounges every matchday to look back on their memories on and offthe pitch at White Hart Lane.
Tonight we feature DARREN ANDERTON, who made 299 Premier League appearances for us and scored 34 goals. Darren was a member of our 1999 Worthington Cup winning team.
What are your memories of your first match at White Hart Lane?
My first game was a disaster. It was the second game of the season on a Tuesday night, under the lights against Coventry City. I was absolutely buzzing to play my first game for Spurs at the Lane and to show the fans what I was capable of. However, the team performed poorly that evening – and I was useless! We lost 2-0, not the start I wanted!
Do you have any stand-out memories of your time behind the scenes of the stadium?
