Today, after a protracted illness, John departed quietly from his home. “Gentleman Jack” Hurst was a member of Joe Royle’s backroom staff in the 1990s, a league title winner, an FA Youth Cup winner, and a lifelong supporter of the club he loved.

The Welshman joined last summer as Spurs paid £47.5 million to land the winger from Nottingham Forest. And it would appear that he has already made quite the impression…
