It'll be like Sol Campbell , but with more goalsI'm imagining the first north London derby and arsenal fans serenading Kane with that poxy "he's one of our own" dirge. The apoplexy in the Spurs end would be a sight.
Just as well given you support Spurs
Exactly.
We could sell 10 players?

the day sol campbell moved to arsenal i went for my lunchtime pint at the innisfree on ballards lane, where i often bumped into a couple of spurs fans, probably both dead now sadly - and i very nearly had a pint tipped over my head for the heinous crime of being the messenger
Was the Innisfree the one on the corner? I'm trying to place it
don't remember, quite possibly. tbh north finchley's always been more of a draw for me than finchley central tho i drank in the queen's head, the catcher and the joiner (the last before it become some sort of hellhole). but i was working opposite the three brothers fish restaurant for a time which meant it was too far to go to the moss/elephant or anywhere beyond that at lunchtime. my routine was 11.15 double vodka orange in the queen's head, dinnertime pint / pint and a half in the innisfree, 3 dvo in the qh and then a post-work pint somewhere on the way home.

as long as he doesn't go in the elephant
Why not The Elephant? Personally, if he's heading to Finchley, I'd recommend The Bohemia, though I'd be willing to start running Toolans Sunday side again if we could tempt him with tales of our 2002 Sunday 10am kick offs, followed by a Super Sunday past closingas long as he doesn't go in the elephant
i don't suppose winter's is still there
The Winters' first pub 'The Erris' , in North Finchley is a French cafe now. Winters II is Finchley Central is still a pub, Annies, I think. The Winters are good friends of mine, as is Nancy Toolan, who sold Toolans a year or so before the whole CoVID. Lovely woman, who donated the whole nights taking when I ran a charity event for a 4 year old cancer sufferer. £3k straight out her own pocket.
was on the team (playing for the elephant) that won the first brainiest pub in finchley challenge quiz must be sixteen years ago now, in what's now annie's
Was it Winters or Olivers I then? Oliver Clancy, who had it as the latter, and the more popular Olivers II, which then became Toolans, put up with some tomfoolery from out lot, as did Nancy, but we must have been at least partly responsible for his success. From 1990 on, it was Thursday to Sunday in Ollies II for all of our schoolmates and the girls school up the road. It's got a similar place in history to Camden Palace and Turnmills for me
in the late 80s and early 90s a lot of the girls from st michael's (i suppose that's the school you mean) went to the moss, which was one of its great attractions.
