I'm Spurs through and through but watch football at pretty much any level. I'm also well into boxing and my snooker and backed Graeme Dott to win the World Championship in 2006 at odds of 65. I also backed Zara Phillips at the same price to be Sports Personality of the year, those were probably my two best-ever bets.

My first-ever bet was a five team accumulator for £5 that paid out at 20/1. The type of bet that is generally the seed of a gambling addiction.

My worst ever bet was Spurs to win the Premier League at 130, with a view to laying off. The only thing being layed off this season will be our manager.

My favourite-ever sportsman is Glenn Hoddle.
