About this episode

Harry Kane has been crowned the best footballer in the world, while Spurs have finally broken their Stamford Bridge curse. What a week to be a Tottenham fan!


Kate Mason is joined by The Athletic’s James Maw, Jack Pitt-Brooke and Elias Burke to discuss Kane’s Ballon d’Or win and how he developed from a promising teenager at Spurs into one of the greatest players of his generation.


Plus, for Black History Month, Elias reflects on the career of former Spurs manager Chris Hughton. And we look at the future of the club’s academy, with Luca Williams-Barnett waiting for his first Premier League appearance. Is it becoming harder for young players to break through at Tottenham?
