Love joined Tottenham at a time when Arsenal were still in the ascendancy in north London, but could only watch on powerlessly as his employers slowly began to turn the tide. I could take the job for what it was -it was a job, and I was being pragmatic -but I still felt like I had to defend Arsenal at all times.' There would be times when I'd get into conversations about Arsenal and Spurs, and that fire in the pit of your belly is there the whole time.

I've got a couple of really good friends who are Arsenal fans, and I didn't want to talk to them about it, because it did feel a bit treacherous and a bit wrong,' Love says.

It was either that or unemployment, but it was nonetheless a difficult pill to swallow. In what he describes as a 'really cruel twist of fate,' he missed out on the Arsenal position, and having been encouraged by a recruiter to apply for a similar role at Tottenham, he found himself working for the enemy. As an adult, he lived just off Holloway Road, a five-minute walk from the Emirates, and when he heard about an opportunity to work at Arsenal as a multimedia producer, he thought all his dreams had come true.

Love grew up in Finchley, north London, and attended his first Arsenal game, a 0-0 draw against Sheffield Wednesday, in November 1994. But what must it be like if you find yourself working for the club you hate on a permanent basis? There are countless stories about football fans exploiting opportunities presented to them by their jobs to mock their club's archrivals, from the Manchester United supporters who buried a red United shirt beneath the car park at the Etihad Stadium to the West Ham United fan who embedded a Hammers scarf in the concrete at the new Spurs stadium. Because I was incredibly enthusiastic about what was happening. We had some messages coming through saying, 'Hang on a minute you sound a bit too enthusiastic about this.' So I had to reel it in. 'I wrote 'GOAL! GOAL! GOAL!' in all capital letters, with exclamation marks, and then I described it. 'I was doing the live text, and I remember I did one entry when Arsenal were coming back,' Love told Bleacher Report.

Behind enemy lines lol
