In 1972, Hunter Davies released a book that documented his experiences spending a whole season behind the scenes with Bill Nicholson’s Spurs.
Davies’s book – The Glory Game – offers an eye-opening account of football in the 70s with a level of intimacy that gave the book a real edge as a piece of football history.
Nearly 50 years later, global mega-company Amazon are offering a comparative experience. But where Hunter Davies went in armed with a notepad and pencil, Amazon takes us behind-the-scenes with video cameras and microphones.
In this episode, we ask: what did we learn from All or Nothing, Amazon’s television docu-series about Spurs?
