TOTTENHAM

Just been reading about the terrible trouble in London`s Tottenham area.  It reminded  me of the times I was in Tottenham in the 1980`s.  I was actually in the crowd behind the goal where Graham Roberts scored against Anderlect. 

After he scored he ran towards the fans a gave a victory gesture, he seemed to be looking just at the spot where I was when he did it.

The clip below shows Graham scoring but the video breaks of as he is running toward the crowd.  Just in case you think I am making this up, let me tell you I have proof.



When looking for a video of the Tottenham goal I was shocked to find Graham Roberts had been involved in a controversy when he later played for Rangers.



An incident in the Bible were a sporting scene becomes a deathtrap.

2Samuel 2:11-17
¹¹ And the time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.
¹² And Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ishbosheth the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
¹³ And Joab the son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, went out, and met together by the pool of Gibeon: and they sat down, the one on the one side of the pool, and the other on the other side of the pool.
¹⁴ And Abner said to Joab, Let the young men now arise, and play before us. And Joab said, Let them arise.
¹⁵ Then there arose and went over by number twelve of Benjamin, which pertained to Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.
¹⁶ And they caught every one his fellow by the head, and thrust his sword in his fellow's side; so they fell down together: wherefore that place was called Helkathhazzurim, which is in Gibeon.
¹⁷ And there was a very sore battle that day; and Abner was beaten, and the men of Israel, before the servants of David.
