Exclusive: Spurs Owner Eats in Restaurant....

Very expensive watch pictured with Joe Lewis.
My good lady called me last week and told me a footballer had been into the restaurant she works at. It’s a bit of a swish gaff; plenty of expensive silver and dainty spotlights. I usually have to wait outside if I’m picking her up. The Man has a problem with my carrier bag socks. It’s all very embarrassing.
Anyway, after failing to recollect any useful information on the man in question, I made her call one of her workmates. I wanted answers. It was no doubt some soil scraping from the Blue Square Premier, but then again it might be bloomin’ Paulo Maldini. Who knows?
One phone call later…
‘Oh, sorry I got it wrong. It wasn’t a footballer after all. It was a club owner.’
‘A club owner, you say? Which club?
‘That team you like. Tottenham, I think.’
And it f*cking was. The big money hound himself, Joe Lewis, had waltzed into the Hole in the Wall restaurant in little old Bath town. No doubt buckling the table legs with the sheer weight of his wallet, it sounds like he was a hit with the staff. Although most of them were oblivious as to who he was. Apparently, though, he’s on good terms with the owner and is looking to do some business; in what capacity is uncertain, but it sounds like the catering company are looking to get involved with the club. Rest assured, lasagnes are definitely off the menu.
Presumably happy with his time there, he’s pencilled in another visit; possibly within the next few weeks. I, as you might have guessed, am banned from the premises.
Thems are the rules.

A hearty expedition into the mind of a troubled, easily swayed Tottenham fan.

How was there confusion over whether Joe Lewis was a footballer? He's nearly 70 isn't he?
Great spot though-

You beat me to it.
The answer is of course... about 60 shillings.
After tax, obviously

That's why Joe Lewis is an absolute player and we all eat from dustbins.
He gets his sums right....
Looking to do some business, you say?
Talent search?
Is Mrs WFRF left footed by any chance? or a big target... striker?

No, but they have a Spanish dishwasher who can pick a coke can off a 3ft fence with his left-foot.
Expect him to arrive shortly
