My good friend, renowned photographer Derek Ridgers - author of the recent collection of his photographs in Cannes was in The San Mames Stadium on Wednesday to witness our Europa Cup Final victory. Derek didn't have his usual photographic equipment, but has kindly allowed Spurs Odyssey to publish this selection of his I-Phone pictures:-
Derek has captured some of the celebrations here
Spurs legend Glenn Hoddle was working for TNT, covering the game. Glenn missed our 1984 UEFA Cup Final success due to injury, and was very emotional when the final whistle was blown in Bilbao
Until tonight, Ledley King was one of the last two players to lift a major trophy for the club. He and Robbie Keane jointly lifted the 2008 League Cup

Pape Sarr
Lucas Bergvall was injured but played such an important part in Spurs' progresss to this final in his debut season
Richarlison
Former Spur and serial Champions League winner Gareth Bale was also on the TNT panel
Non-playing and non-registered goalkeepers Antonin Kinsky and Fraser Forster (who did play in the league phase of this tournament) are seen alongside substitute Alfie Whiteman. Brandon Austin was also on the bench tonight. Member of the coaching staff Matty Wells is in the foreground. Matty is the grandson of the legendary Cliff Jones, who celebrated at home. Cliff played in our first European trophy win in 1963!
We only went and won the Europa League Final!
Dimitar Berbatov had a foot in both camps. He doesn't look too happy here after the game! Berbatov was one of our scorers in the 2008 League Cup final win.
