This week it's Tottenham fan and member of Switch Disco, Dan Creasy.

When did you start supporting Tottenham and why?

I started supporting Spurs when I was about six, which is when I first got into football properly. Paul Gascoigne and Gary Lineker were my favourite players at the time, so that naturally pulled me towards Tottenham. Once you pick your team at that age, that’s kind of it - you’re locked in for life.

What was your favourite memory of supporting Spurs as a child?

If I’m honest, most of the ones that stick in my head involve beating Arsenal. Gazza’s free kick against them in the FA Cup semi-final is obviously iconic. Then there’s Danny Rose’s volley and Younès Kaboul’s late winner in the North London derby. Those moments always feel a bit sweeter because most of my closest mates are Arsenal fans.

Where did you watch last season’s Europa League final and what were your emotions at full time?

I watched it in Ibiza. I’d literally just landed and managed to catch the second half, so it was a bit of a scramble to find somewhere showing the game. The bar ended up being full of Manchester United fans, so I had to keep the celebrations pretty quiet at full time. The second I left the place though, I could finally enjoy it properly - amazing feeling.

Do you think the club were right to sack Ange Postecoglou over the summer?

From what we heard, the decision had already been made before we even won the Europa League final. Personally, I don’t think it was the right call. He deserved more time, especially after delivering a trophy. The managers we’ve had since haven’t done anything, which makes the decision feel even stranger.

And apologies in advance for this one – are you too big a club to go down?

No club is too big to go down anymore - the game doesn’t work like that now. If things go wrong, it can happen to anyone. That said, it would be absolutely brutal if it happened to Spurs . My phone would be melting with messages from my Arsenal-supporting mates - and it would be even worse if they happened to win the league at the same time.
