YE1 Spurs

YE1 Daily is back for its sixth week of Tottenham Hotspur season review podcasts, as the series enters the "turgid" era.

The biggest story of 2003/04 was the managerial sacking, after just six league matches, of club hero Glenn Hoddle, while our infamous 4-3 FA Cup exit to Man City, and a 14th-place Premier League finish made it a forgettable campaign for Spurs supporters.

However, as fortunes have improved significantly in the 16 years since, could our undeniable uplift be traced back to the very day that the Arsenal, who themselves have never hit anywhere near their heights of '04, secured the title at White Hart Lane?

Former Sweden left-back Erik Edman joins YE1 again from Helsingborg, to help review 2004/05, his only full season at White Hart Lane.

This was a formative campaign for Spurs, as the club began to alter its footballing strategy.

Erik's outrageous long-range effort at Anfield stands as a particular high point of that year, while Pedro Mendes' ghost goal at Old Trafford remains an injustice Tottenham fans still bemoan fifteen years on.

Listen now to relive it all through the eyes of a Spurs player.

Former Spurs and Sweden left-back Erik Edman reflects on an excellent club career, which saw him play in six countries across Europe, as well as his involvement at three major international tournaments.

Erik is back tomorrow to review the 2004/05 Tottenham Hotspur season, his only full season in North London, and, of course, talk us through that incredible strike against Liverpool at Anfield in April 2005; one of Spurs' best ever Premier League goals.

Our best league campaign for 16 years was marred by an aggressive bout of food poisoning, which made defeat to West Ham on the final day inevitable, and saw us leapfrogged into the fourth Champions League position by bitter North London rivals Arsenal.

Ian picks up the story, in the company of Peter, Sim, and Chris.

BBC Sport cameraman and Spurs supporter Christopher Smith trades the North West for N17, as YE1 learns what filming the biggest sporting events is all about, before Chris, Ian, Sim, and Peter delve into season 2006/07, which began with the loss of a world class midfielder, but did see the arrival of a Bulgarian superstar.

Jonathan Woodgate's extra-time goal against Chelsea on 24th February 2008 secured what remains, to this day, the last piece of silverware Tottenham Hotspur lifted.

Antony [Costa], Ian, Sim, and Peter remember that glorious day, though also bemoan the twelve trophyless years that have since passed.

Antony Costa joins Ian, Sim, and Peter again, as YE1 Daily begins its review of what was an unfortgettable season for many reasons, but a relatively poor one by our recent Premier League standards, as, first Martin Jol, then Juande Ramos, oversaw an 11th place finish.

However, this was of course a trophy-winning campaign, which the boys will be paying tribute to in tomorrow's podcast, remembering just how good it felt to watch Ledley King and Robbie Keane lift the League Cup at Wembley.

Antony Costa of famed UK boy band Blue joins Ian and the YE1 crew, to converse in depth about his life as a world-famous singer-songwriter, actor, celebrity jungle star, and, from as early as he can remember, an absolute Tottenham Hotspur fanatic.

Sam Cox goes into detail about how it felt to sit in Harry Redknapp's Tottenham dressing room, and provides a comical first-hand account of the gaffer's forgetfulness, as Redknapp mistook a young Spurs striker for an ex-Portsmouth one.

The former Tottenham player and current club youth coach casts his mind back to last summer, when he represented Guyana at the 2019 CONCACAF Gold Cup in Jamaica, the proudest achievement of his professional life to date.
