12th May, 1994 Spurs Charged by F.A.
Spurs were still suffering the consequences of the great fallout between Chairman, Alan Sugar (Pic: Chairman, Alan Sugar), and Chief Executive, Terry Venables. The previous year Venables had been sacked and the club’s business had been dragged through the media and the courts.
On this day, the F.A. formally charged Spurs with misconduct for alleged irregular payments to a number of players. These had come to light following the court case between Alan Sugar and Terry Venables and were allegedly paid to players between 1985 and 1989.
In an attempt to assist and co-operate with the F.A. Spurs had handed over documents which appeared to show that the payments had been made.
This story would continue to dominate the whole club for some considerable time.
