EPISODE 35 - David Bentley (Live)
Off The Shelf takes to the stage 🤩 in a podcast first, we switched the studio for a live audience as the charismatic David Bentley guest stars alongside hosts Michael Dawson and Ben Haines 🎭
With that slicked back barnet, wand of a right foot and the gift of the gab, this is a laugh-a-minute episode as our former number 5️⃣ charts his upbringing, how he idolised Paul Gascoigne in a Spurs shirt and the belting anecdotes from his playing days - such as the hat-trick against Manchester United and the hilarious prank call around his first England senior call-up 😂
Fulfilling a boyhood dream to emulate Gazza when he signed for us in 2008, 'Bents' and former team-mate 'Diva Daws' 💁♂️ share the tales, nicknames and banter during their time together in the dressing room at White Hart Lane, including the story behind one of our most iconic north London derby goals in the 4-4 with Arsenal and the ice bucket drenching 🧊 and night out that followed Champions League qualification under Harry Redknapp 🍾
Retiring at 28 due to a knee injury following a loan moves in England and Russia with FC Rostov, Bents opens up about his decision to retire at such a young age, a focus on family life and now loving football all over again through his son's passion.
Also, you need to stick around for the quick-fire questions at the end... 🤣

EPISODE 34 - Teddy Sheringham
"Oh Teddy, Teddy..." was a frequent chant echoing around White Hart Lane over the years as our former number 10 bagged another one of his 124 goals across his 277 appearances in Lilywhite.
As you may have guessed, the latest guest to join Off The Shelf is Spurs legend Teddy Sheringham!
Having played for Spurs as a schoolboy at 14 years old, the budding footballer had to carve out a path elsewhere with spells at Millwall and Nottingham Forest before joining us in the inaugural Premier League season in 1992/93. Opening his account on his home debut in a 2-0 win over Sheffield United under the lights at the Lane - our first win in the division - the mercurial talent and clinical finisher went on to be a hero to a generation of fans over his two spells with the Club and ended his career with an impressive 146 Premier League goals.
One of 18 players to score a century of goals for Spurs, hear Teddy's tales of his footballing days for both club and country, from formidable partnerships here with the likes of Jurgen Klinsmann - including the inspiration behind the German's iconic dive celebration - to playing his part for Manchester United in their treble-winning season and on the international stage for the Three Lions.
Expect insights into our former captain's key moments, contributions, and the enduring legacy of an English football icon. Don't forget, you can watch Teddy in Lilywhite once again when he lines up for Spurs Legends against AC Milan Glorie at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday 23 March!

You’ll hear those answers and more across the series…
And who better to present our podcast than one of our modern-day greats and fans' favourite, Michael Dawson! 'Daws' joined us in January, 2005 and spent nine years at the Club, making 324 appearances in all competitions for us until departing in the summer of 2014. Michael finally retired after 20 seasons as a professional for Nottingham Forest, Spurs and Hull City in August, 2021, and stepped straight into new roles as our Club Ambassador and as a panellist on Soccer Saturday on Sky Sports. A true leader, Daws radiates enthusiasm - his love for the Club shines through.
