Tottenham documentary set to air on Amazon Prime on August 31


  • English
  • Arabic

The first instalment of Amazon Prime's documentary on Tottenham will be released on August 31, the Press Association reported.

The 'All or Nothing' series follows Spurs during the tough 2019-20 campaign, which was full of drama on and off the pitch. The first three episodes will air on the last day of the month.

Two blocks of three episodes will drop on the streaming site on September 7 and September 14.

The official trailer has been released and shows boss Jose Mourinho, whose November arrival makes up the content of the first episode, being asked about his public perception.

"The guy never smiles. The guy is relentless. The truth is there is some truth in it," Mourinho says in the video.

The documentary begins with Mourinho's arrival at the club, less than 24 hours after Mauricio Pochettino's sacking.

Among the incidents likely to be covered are Harry Kane's serious injury, Christian Eriksen's exit, Eric Dier climbing into the stands to confront a fan and Hugo Lloris and Son Heung-min's spat on the pitch.

There will also be a focus on the club's community work and how they responded to the shutdown of the Premier League due to coronavirus pandemic.
