‘I’m proud to sit here with you’ - Mauricio interviewed by Ossie and Ricky

That’s what happened to Mauricio Pochettino on Friday, as his regular pre-match interview with Spurs TV had a welcome interruption as none other than his Argentine compatriots Ossie Ardiles and Ricky Villa walked through the door!

World Cup winners for Argentina in 1978, the pair will forever be linked with Spurs. Arriving at the Club after that success in 1978, the pair shone at the Lane, Ossie famously going on to achieve his dream and ‘win the cup for Tott-ing-ham’ thanks to Ricky’s wonder goal against Manchester City in 1981. Between them, they played just short of 500 times for Spurs in all competitions with Ossie later managing the Club himself.
