As a child, playing up front is the position that any kid wants to play. Pulling on the number nine shirt filled any youngster with the confidence to smash the ball into the back of the net on a regular basis, whether it was a kick about with friends with jumpers for goalposts or in an 11-a-side game for the local side, nothing felt better than knowing you were the main man; the primary source of goals.]]>
With the season now, officially, over, transfer silly season has indeed begun. In the past, Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a host of names prior to the opening of the transfer window, and this summer is no different. With June fast approaching, Charlie Bowsher analyses a number of the player's that have mooted as possible summer arrivals at White Hart Lane.]]>

So there we have it, another season has drawn to an end and with it, a barrage of season reviews comes flooding towards all those with a computer, laptop or smartphone to hand.
