You can buy Mike Donavan's wonderful book here
We sat down with author Mike Donovan to explore the life and legacy of Danny Blanchflower, a man who helped define Tottenham Hotspur. We discuss Donovan’s journey, Blanchflower’s move to Spurs, and his influence on one of the club’s greatest sides.
More than a brilliant footballer, Blanchflower was a modern captain ahead of his time. Thoughtful, articulate, and demanding of high standards, he shaped the dressing room and embodied what Spurs stood for.
This episode looks at why his legacy still matters today, and why he remains the gold standard for leadership and identity at a football club.

One of my favourite films is Belfast (2021), largely because they bothered to put Blanchard graffiti on a wall in a few random scenes. Respect.
