Remembering When A Dodgy Lasagna Gave Spurs The Sh*ts

Rich Williams, Mark Holmes and Rob Conlon are again joined by comedian 

Mark Smith as we remember Spurs’ resurgence under Martin Jol and how a brilliant 2005-06 season was ruined by a dodgy portion of lasagne. 

Andy Reid joins the boys on the phone to reveal the truth behind the 

legend from inside the hotel and then the dressing room as team-mates 

fell sick, including a player he cannot speak highly enough of: Michael 

Carrick.

We finish with another episode of Football Fact or Fiction in which Rich 

tries to guess which of the many unlikely stories about Stoke City are, in 

fact, true.
