βͺοΈβͺοΈThrowback Friday : THE LASAGNE-GATE (2006)π±..
The final day of the 2005/06 season was supposed to be the day Tottenham returned to the Champions League. Spurs sat fourth and needed only a result against West Ham to finish above Arsenal. But on the eve of the biggest game in years, disaster struck. Several Tottenham players fell ill after a team meal, with suspected food poisoning sweeping through the squad.Despite requests to postpone the match, the game went ahead. A weakened Spurs side battled on but fell to a 2-1 defeat at Upton Park. At the same time, Arsenal beat Wigan and snatched fourth place.
Nearly two decades later, Lasagne-Gate remains one of the greatest βwhat ifβ moments in Tottenham history. One meal. One night. One result that may have changed the clubβs future forever.
