TOTTENHAM’S ‘DODGY LASAGNE’
TOTTENHAM were on the brink of a Champions League place in 2006 and faced a key game against West Ham. The squad stayed at the Marriott Hotel in Canary Wharf and had a buffet, with many opting for lasagne. By the morning, several players were vomiting. Boss Martin Jol wanted the game called off — it went ahead and Spurs lost 2-1. The club threatened to sue the hotel, who were absolved of wrongdoing as the sickness was put down to the norovirus.
