boy, born and raised in the south west of the
city, the switch to the capital’s north was a
move that excited him.

“IT’S BEEN A STEP UP THIS SEASON.
PLAYING FOR A BIGGER TEAM WITH
BETTER PLAYERS, A BIG STADIUM
AND IN FRONT OF 60,000 PLUS FANS,
IT’S DEFINITELY BEEN A LEVEL UP”

And he admits that the transition between
clubs, the first move of his career, was made
easier by the welcome he received from
his new teammates – no welcome more
appreciated than that from Dele Alli.

The former MK Dons midfielder’s arrival at
the club back in February, 2015 shares many
similarities to Ryan’s move to here. Dele, just
like our number 19, moved to N17 as a teenager
with significant expectations on his shoulders
while he also had to wait months to make his
Spurs debut – due to him returning on loan to
MK until the end of the season though, rather
than an injury.

“As soon as I came in on the first day, Dele
showed me around the whole building,” the
England Under-21 international explained. “He
took me around everywhere, told me where
everything was in the training ground so yes,
he’s been a big help for me settling in.

“We don’t live too far from each other. We
speak to each other a lot. We’re quite tight, he’s
probably the player I’m closest too. Obviously,
everyone has been very helpful to me here, but
Dele’s probably been the most.”

FA Cup First Round away during the 1948 clash

The FA Cup winners of 1900 and 1901 met at the first-
round stage the following season and it needed three
matches to separate the sides.

These games are also featured in our article on pages
49-51 of tonight’s programme, but a quick recap showed
that the first match took place at White Hart Lane and
ended in a 1-1 draw, David Copeland scoring for us and
Tommy Bowman for the visitors.

The replay at The Dell also finished in a draw. Ted
Hughes netted both our goals while Edgar Chadwick
and Joe Turner replied for Southampton and so we
reconvened for a second replay at Reading’s Elm Park.

Jack Kirwan gave us the lead but our grip on the trophy
was relinquished as goals from Archie Turner and Albert
Brown gave Saints a 2-1 win. They marched all the way to
the final that year, but lost to Sheffield United.

Ronny Rosenthal will always be remembered for an
incredible hat-trick that took us another step closer to
Wembley in Jurgen Klinsmann’s first season at Spurs.
As Darren Anderton says, it felt like destiny we would
reach the final – we toppled Liverpool at Anfield in the
next round but then fell to Everton in the semi-final.

The first game ended 1-1 at the Lane and we were in
trouble in the replay. Goals from Neil Shipperley and
Matt Le Tissier put Southampton in the driving seat,
