We await the written verdict from the FA with great interest as we will be able to see on what grounds Tottenham have appealed.

It was great to be at TNS vs Djurgården IF tonight at their UEFA Conference League match.

Frank managed Djurgarden IF in the 1954/55 season where they won their first Allsvenskan title.
