'It's no holds barred,' Hugh Scully, executive producer of the series, said 'People will be astonished. Then, if something is out of hand, having got into that situation you should also have the strength to say: 'No, get lost.' When my friend was persuaded to sleep with someone and was then talked about and laughed about among the lads afterwards, I went down there and told him what a shit he was. THE STORY of Arthur Rowe, who was manager of Tottenham Hotspur for an all too brief spell from 1949 to 1955, is one of triumph and tragedy.
