20 years ago today - three legends waved goodbye...

Gary Mabbutt and Jurgen Klinsmann pulled on the famous white shirt for the last time on 10 May, 1998. Typically, Jurgen scored an absolute beauty. ‘Mabbsy’, proud captain for 11 years, came off the bench late to a hero’s welcome. ‘Howellsy’ was out of the squad and didn’t feature.

All three played their part in our famous history. Gary, who overcame the effects of diabetes to enjoy a 19-year professional career, 16 at Spurs. He remains second in our all-time list of appearances (611) and lifted the FA Cup at Wembley in 1991, having led us to victory over Arsenal in the semi-final.
