Paul Gascoigne - The following statement was issued by TTT on Monday 24th November 2014
TTT has noted various press and social media comment today in respect of Paul Gascoigne.
TTT is bound by confidentiality and so never comments on the support we have provided (nor who we have provided it to) without the consent of our beneficiaries, for whom our help is often a deeply private matter.
This evening Paul has publicly acknowledged the longstanding support TTT, the Club and Gary Mabbutt have provided him over very many years.
Paul's appearance in the DC United friendly in 2002 helped boost attendance for that match which raised TTT's initial funding and has directly enabled us to help dozens of former players in the years since.
All at TTT wish Paul success in his journey back to sustained good health.
Andy Porter - The following statement was issued by TTT on Wednesday 22nd October 2014
It was with great sadness and a sense of devastation that the Trustees learned of the sudden death yesterday of our friend and colleague Andy Porter aged just 54.
Andy was a valued and popular colleague on the TTT Board and was an astute and considered contributor over his more than 9 years as a Trustee.
Andy will be sorely missed by each of us both personally and professionally. Our thoughts at this sad time are first and foremost with his family and friends but also with the wider Spurs community who have lost a much loved and respected man.
May he Rest in Peace.
Those Glory Glory Days Fundarising Event
On Tuesday 18th March, The Tottenham Tribute Trust staged a fund raising event at the Bernie Grant Arts Centre in Tottenham.
The wonderful film "Those Glory Glory Days" written by Julie Welch and starring Zoe Nathenson was shown to a packed audience.
The evening was boosted by the attendance of Cliff Jones, Terry Dyson, Peter Baker, Gary Mabbutt, Julie Welch and Zoe Nathenson.
Zoe Nathenson in full flow as Julie Welch listens. They hadn’t met since the film was made in 1983.
Daniel Wynne welcomed everyone on behalf of the Trustees and then handed over to Paul Coyte who guided everyone through a thoroughly enjoyable evening.
The film which was a semi autobiographical look at Julie’s childhood, focused on a group of girls who were obsessed with the great double winning side of 1960-61.
Before the film was shown 2 members of that all conquering team, Cliff Jones and Terry Dyson recalled their memories of that season and once it was shown Julie and Zoe spoke about the making of the film and the impact Tottenham Hotspur had on their lives.
Terry Dyson and Cliff Jones captivate the audience
A raffle including a Spurs Opus and a signed Ledley King shirt which were both kindly donated by Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, helped to boost the proceeds all of which will go to help our former players.
If anyone wishes to help further, a copy of the souvenir brochure and a book on Bill Nicholson by Norman Giller can be purchased for £15. For more information please email Daniel Wynne
