    Why does the article say he never played a first team game for us?
    I am positive he made his debut in a EL match under Redknapp...and I was there!

    Lazy journalism. The guy was our youngest ever player before Scarlett and then Devine this season.

    He actually appeared in about 3 or 4 games for us too.

    They checked his Wikipedia page and it says 0, as it only lists league games in the first bit.
    Had they bothered to scroll down, they'd have seen his 4 appearances, 3 in Europe and 1 in the FA Cup.
    The description even says when he played: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Bostock#Tottenham_Hotspur

    Because Wikipedia only includes league games in their sidebar for career stats, which reveals the BBC can't be arsed to scroll down half a page to get to these things known as "facts"

    Bostock's hardly alone in the list of players who Wikipedia's sidebar says have never played for us when in reality they have, as the following examples demonstrate
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dane_Scarlett
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dane_Scarlett#Career_statistics
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfie_Devine
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfie_Devine#Career_statistics
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvey_White_(footballer)
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvey_White_(footballer)#Career_statistics

    And that's just from this season. Marcus Edwards, Kazaiah Sterling, Anthony Georgiou, George Marsh, Dean Parrett and Cameron Carter Vickers are all listed as having 0 appearances for us, which isn't how any of us remember it

    Made that look effortless. Barely any power, just chipped into the top corner.

    I take it you're not sighing about his bald spot?

    That wall looks tiny and the keeper's positioning just looks... off.
    It seems like he's got the whole goal to aim at.

    Spaghetti Watford.
    He'll get to play alongside Gerrard Deulofeu, Stefano Okaka, Sebastian Prodl, Roberto Pereyra, Fernando Forestieri and Marvin Zeegelaar.
    I've probably missed one or two, as well.

    They also have the comedically named Simone Scuffet on their books! <laugh>

    Happy Birthday to the Legend that is Peter Crouch.

    Never have I gone so mental as that night in Manchester when you put us in the CL.
