In season 1975/76 we enjoyed a good run in the League Cup in what
was Terry Neill’s only full season as Spurs manager.

The second-round draw saw us paired with Watford who had just
been relegated to the Fourth Division the season before while we
had only survived in the top flight by a single point.

Watford gave a good account of themselves at Vicarage Road from
where we were happy to escape with a narrow triumph thanks to Chris
Jones scoring the only goal on the hour. Barry Daines, in for Pat Jennings
who was unwell, was certainly the busier of the two goalkeepers.

We proceeded to win 2-0 at Crewe and then beat West Ham after
extra time at Upton Park following a 0-0 draw at the Lane. John Duncan
hit a hat-trick and Martin Chivers a brace when we hammered Doncaster

Q&A 82
Continuing our new Q&A feature for this season – using the year of the
Club’s formation as inspiration – as we ask our players to choose
18 lifestyle questions from a selection of 82. This afternoon,
goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga takes his place in the hotseat…

1. What would you sing at a karaoke? 5. What was the last TV box set you watched
Paulo: “It would have to be a song that I know well, maybe – or what are you watching at the moment?
‘Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door’ by Bob Dylan. By the way,
that was the song I sung for my initiation when I went Paulo: “I’m watching ‘Peaky Blinders’ at the moment.
to the national team last season.” Everyone spoke so well about it. I love it. I’m on the
second season already.”

2. Do you do the washing up?

Paulo: “I do everything! The dishes, wash, cook,
everything.”

3. You have a rare day off – what is your
perfect day?

Paulo: “Rest! It depends on the weather as well. I’d be
at home with my girlfriend, Patricia, and my dog, Teo.”

4. What would be your fancy dress costume?

Paulo: “Something crazy. I remember once I was dressed
as an Egyptian mummy.”

6. What advice would you give to a younger there are different dates when we celebrate different
player? traditions. For one, we used to do traditional dancing, in
front of the whole school. Now, I wouldn’t do it!”
Paulo: “Humility, sacrifice and hard work. These are the
words my father used to give to me as well when I was 14. Can you remember the first film you
young.” watched?

7. What is the first thing you do in the Paulo: “I remember back home we had a VHS player and
morning? we had two videos – one was the film ‘The Mask’ and the
other was from Argentina, the cartoon ‘Trapito’
Paulo: “Open my eyes! I wake up, brush my teeth, get
changed and go and prepare the Mate (traditional South
American hot drink).”

8. Who would you most like to meet?

Paulo: “That’s difficult. I would like to meet people who
would give me good advice as a goalkeeper – maybe
Gianluigi Buffon.”

15. What is your favourite photograph?

Paulo: “I have a few. I have a small one with all my family, P a g eQ &TAi t l e
brothers, sisters, mum and dad. I was maybe about 10.
That one is special. There is another I have as well when
I was a baby and I have a goalkeeper’s glove.”

9. What are you always asked in interviews? 16. What talent do you wish you had?
Paulo: “I’d like to play a musical instrument. The top one
would be the piano, or the guitar. I tried to learn the guitar,
but it was difficult.”

Paulo: “How are you?! Most of my interviews start with 17. Would you like to be able to go back into
where I came from or how I started my career and often, the past or to see into the future?
at Spurs, how and when I found out I was going to play
in that particular game.” Paulo: “The past, for sure. I’d go back to a time where I
did something wrong and put it right or maybe talk again
10. What sort of father do you think you with some people who are no longer with us.”
will be?
18. What is the best advice you have been
Paulo: “I don’t know, maybe I will try to copy my dad. He given?
was a good role model for me.”
Paulo: “The gaffer once said to me ‘football never waits
11. What is your position on facial hair? for anyone’ and I’ve always kept that in my mind.”

Paulo: “Yes, now it’s fashionable.”

12. When was the last time you cried?

Paulo: “That was when we beat Ajax in the second leg
of the Champions League semi-final, a special night.”

13. Did you ever appear in a school play?

Paulo: “Yes, when I was younger. Back home in Argentina
