Description

In the first of a two-part special, Jack sits down with Dan Kilpatrick, now an editor at The Athletic, to look back on his years covering Tottenham as a beat journalist.


They discuss how the job changed as Spurs grew into a modern superclub, how the wider football media landscape evolved over the past decade, and what it was like reporting during the Mauricio Pochettino era — including an anecdote about a chance encounter with Poch and Jesús Pérez in Russia.


Dan also reflects on Daniel Levy’s deep involvement in all areas of the club, whether it’s ultimately damaging, and shares his impressions of both Ange Postecoglou and Thomas Frank.


Part two — where Dan answers your questions — will be out soon. For now, enjoy part one of this deep dive into Tottenham Hotspur with one of the most familiar faces in Spurs journalism.
