I'm tired of making new threads for all the old / new staffers for their multitude of gigs at the club, so they will (mostly) all go here

After more than two decades of association with the Club, David Pleat is stepping back from his scouting duties.
Daniel Levy, Chairman said: “I should like to thank David for his contribution over so many years and in so many ways. He had, and continues to have, an encyclopaedic knowledge of the game and players. I know he will continue to enjoy watching our games at all levels.”
David Pleat said: “Football is my life and continues to be. Spurs has been a huge part of that. However the game and its methods change and it’s time for me to now step back from my scouting role. I look forward to watching the Club have great success in the coming years. I hope to continue my association with the game.”
David’s first involvement with us came in May, 1986, when he was appointed Manager. In his debut season, he led us to a third place finish in the old First Division and reached the FA Cup final. He departed the Club in October, 1987.
David returned in January, 1998, as the Club’s first Director of Football and during his time at the Club, he took charge of the team as Caretaker Manager on three occasions; September, 1998, March, 2001, and September, 2003.
Following the conclusion of his time as Director of Football in May, 2004, he returned once again in 2010, as part of the Club’s scouting department.

I had no idea he was still involved in anything more than a jobs-for-the-boys role.
