The 5 Greatest Spurs ITK and Transfer Rumour Events

1. Keith
7 July 2012

Who could forget this moment from ITK history when Jamie Weir, of Sky Sports, left his microphone. Unknowingly he revealed to the world that Van Der Vaart was staying, Modric was staying and that Adebayor was signing. How did he know? Because Keith, a man who has 'many fingers in pies' had told him so.

Sounds legit...

Sadly the video has long been taken down from the Sky Sports archive... so you will have to do with my take on it...

2. Taxi driver
3rd June 2012


A man is photographed getting out of the drivers side of nice car = must be a footballer.

Who was/is the mysterious man pictured in the scene? Is the bald guy on the left Alan Dixon, Player Liason Officier and Daniel Levy's Brother-in-Law, or is it Ronny Rosenthal... or is it just a bald guy?

And what about the threads of the guy on the right? The Jeans say casual, but the hand can barely get in his pocket... he is being severely restricted and should perhaps have gone up a waist size.


Tottenham Car Park Mystery

We all went a little mad for an afternoon. Someone confirmed it was indeed WHL car park (ok it was me) and that the car had taken the liberty of parking in the loading bay! Over on one forum they looked up the number plate - the car had been hired and was registered in Stanmore, apparently.


As for the black guy is Doumbia or Mandanda, or Nigel from Express Cars?
We may never know... or care.

Straight after the cab driver came this guy. Spotted somewhere by someone with a good camera but not capable of taking a good image, and then photographing it with a mobile phone. Another game of 'Which footballer does this blurred shape look like?' took place... Leon Britton, Ribery, DiCanio (as our new manager) were all possibilities.. what did it all mean? Who was it?

23rd August 2013


'He won't go. There is a huge billboard in 'Merica of him wearing a Spurs shirt, and he is on the box of a computer game... oh and ITV Sport have him kicking a ball on a poster'


BOOOM! Illusion shattered as the work experience kid at the Real Madrid online store jumps the gun a bit early. Oh well... at least £108M will buy us a team of world beaters to win the World Cup and become champions of the Universe... oh....


5. Blue & YellARRRRRGGGGGHHHH
2011 - 2013


Oh please.... do f*** off! Perhaps the stupid cryptic ever. It could mean anything and nothing, with a link to virtually any player who ever lived. PoTL (Phantom Of The Lane) ruined what little ITK credibility he had by churning out these words repeatedly. The reference was thought to be related to  Damiao (Yellow) and Rossi (Blue), who of course have gone on to become legends at the lane, both scoring 20+ goals in the last two seasons.
