Archie Gray told to his face that only him and James Maddison can stay at Tottenham

Archie Gray did not know where to look as he was told by Michael McIntyre that only he and James Maddison can stay at Tottenham.

Comedian McIntyre joked that the rest of the Spurs squad should leave, with Gray putting his head in his hands at the comment.

The pair joined Andy Goldstein and Darren Bent on talkSPORT Drive on Tuesday as they played golf at the Maddison Invitational.

And the banter kicked off straight away on the show at the annual charity golf tournament, created and hosted by Maddison.

McIntyre instantly cracked a joke during his and Gray’s introductions, making light of the terrible season Spurs had.

Gray and co. only just survived an unprecedented relegation from the Premier League with a win on the final day last Sunday.

Drive host Andy Goldstein began: “We’re delighted to be joined by the club’s Player of the Season, as voted by the Spurs fans…”

At which point McIntyre quickly jumped in to say: “There was a lot of competition for that award…

“I think Maddison may have come second in that for Player of the Season and he only played for 10 minutes all season!”

Gray laughed at the joke before McIntyre would eventually go on to leave the 20-year-old in an awkward position.

“Let’s talk about Spurs…it’s great to see you, Archie,” the Tottenham fan said. “The fans love you, you were trying your heart out.”

He then said directly to Gray: “You are the future of this club, you and Madders, everyone else can go!”

‘A horrible season’

Gray soon went on to discuss Tottenham’s major scare in the Premier League, having finished 17th in the table.

He admitted the relief the squad felt at staying up before looking ahead fondly to the future under Roberto De Zerbi.

“It’s been a difficult season and after the game it was almost just a big outbreath and the season’s done,” the Spurs star said.

“A horrible season and it’s unacceptable, but you know, I think the manager is top and I think we’ve got something to look forward to next season.”

Gray continued: “It’s important [to improve next season] for everyone, especially the fans.

“We’ve got all the facilities, the stadium, the fans and the players and now the manager’s top.

“Ever since he’s come in, he’s been unbelievable and I truly believe that next season we can do that.

“And then for the next few seasons, we can keep building and get back to where we were.”
