5 years ago today Tottenham Hotspur were one of the English clubs who tried to pull the football ladder up from under them, by announcing their involvement in the short-lived European Super League.
Their proposal would have broken the fundamental rule that underpins the national game - that sliver of a dream all fans have, that their team might climb the pyramid and compete with the best.
It seems fitting and ironic that today Spurs sit in the relegation zone having still not won this calendar year.
They tried to leave the Premier League for greener pastures, instead Tottenham Hotspur are on the verge of relegation.
And because of their willingness to betray the national game, few fans from ‘the other 14’ will have any sympathy at all.
Leading European football clubs announce new Super League competition.
