51 h. ago Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham journey a reminder the world of football is vast and rich

Spurs’ Europa League triumph marks the high point of Australian football success and keeps the door open for the next wave of coachesOpen-top buses are a favourite of visitors to London, including many of the half million Australians who travel there each year.
