The Cockerel- Tottenham hotspurs supporters bar.

The cockerel. The Spurs supporters bar where I met the craaaazy irish man and we had my infamous 8 pints of guinness drinking contest. To be sure, to be sure. What? I had to say that!



Link to the infamous story of that day.

Not to be outdone. After I was scouting out the place, I was asked by a local would I be attending the game on the weekend. I said, "If you mean spurs vs everton? Then I am there mate." What time are you coming down to the ground I was asked by this guy? I told him game starts at 3pm, I think 130pm wouldn't be a bad time to turn up. He told me, nar come down at 10am. I was thinking, I'm not getting shitfaced before my first live spurs game. He said no, we wil fight the everton fans. Its all hush, hush now days. All done by mobile phones. You look like you could handle ya self in a fight, fancy it? I told him mate, "just starting my around the world trip." "If this was the end of it, no problem but to early at the start to risk getting messed up." "But thanks for the offer. I'll just watch the game like the regular people."

I still remember game day, I had on my spurs hat, scarf. Rocked up out of the underground and headed over to tescos. Bought some food, because no doubt food and drink inside the ground would cost a friggin fortune. As I was walking around tescos (supermarket) I noticed alot of people starring at me. I was thinking, Plz don't tell me they hate spurs? But it was all good, bunch of danish looking for the ground. I pointed them in the right direction and off they went. As I walked out into the street to catch a bus to the ground, Which all of them were so over full it was not funny. I was asked by a group of everton supporters for directions to the ground. I coughed and then told them the direction to the ground. What bus to take and other ways to reach there. I then cracked a joke and told these guys I've only been in your country a few days and here I am giving you english lads directions in ya capital! They all had a laugh. I didn't and smacked their heads in!!! Then put in the boot to teach them, you don't mess with an aussies spurs supporter!! Now, I just added those 2-3 lines of abuse, just to see if anyone is actually reading.. OF course that didn't happen. I used a baseball bat instead. Less messy on the hands.

Tottenham Hotspurs. We're Crap, but we still look good.

TottenHam Hotspurs. Followed these guys since the age of 8-10 years old. Why? Well when you areof that age and hear the name, tottenham hotspurs. Thats a very cool name. I was sorta drawn to the name and learnt the team was known to be creative and have some flair. Spurs were semi good, semi crap, back in those days. Little did I know, that the team would go on to have a mini golden era. Well compare to how they've played in the 90s till now, it was.

This game you see above was, Spurs vs everton. My brothers team is everton and I knew I had to see it live in london. I was feeling a 5-0 win to us and told my brother so. The score at the end of 90mins was spurs 3 everton 0. Fantastic!! Took that as an omen to the rest of my around the world trip.

Spurs rivals are Arsenal. The last derby match was a fantastic affair. I missed 89mins of the game, to walk into the pub, just seeing the huge screen on a angle. All I could see was spurs 4 arsenal 0, from all appearances. I raced closer to the screen with my spurs scarf flying, to suddenly see the arsenal score was not 0 but 5. The game ended tottenham 5 arsenal 6, or was it spurs 4 arsenal 5? One of those too.. But I laugh and was gutted at the same time. Glorious mess with my head!
