JURGEN KLINSMANN EXCLUSIVE: Kane's Future, Conte's Mentality, A Winter World Cup & 'Why I fell in love with Spurs'
In this special bonus edition of The View From The Lane, Danny Kelly, James Maw and Jack Pitt-Brooke get up close and personal with the legendary Jurgen Klinsmann!
Klinsmann arrived at White Hart Lane in 1995 as a World Cup winner and one of the deadliest strikers around - albeit with a reputation as a cheat and a diver. One writer described him as "the most hated player in world football". But that season at Spurs was transformational for both the club and the Premier League as a whole...
In this hour-long conversation, Jurgen shares lucid memories of his two spells in North London, including his relationships with teammates like Teddy Sheringham; managers Ossie Ardilles, Gerry Francis and Christian Gross; and the chairman who brought him to the club - and subsequently said he wouldn't wash his car with his signed shirt - Alan Sugar.
We then get stuck into more contemporary matters, such as Harry Kane's future, how Antonio Conte has changed the mentality at Spurs, England's chances in Qatar, and whether the tournament should be held there in the first place.
