Career & Clubs

Playing career

Butters made his Tottenham debut in November 1988 in a League Cup tie versus Blackburn Rovers in which he scored an own goal. He made his League debut as a goalscoring substitute that weekend in a 3–2 win against Wimbledon, and then started 34 of the next 35 games before making what would be his final appearance away to Charlton Athletic in October 1989. He spent the remainder of the season on loan at Fourth Division Southend United and he was eventually sold to Portsmouth for a fee of £375,000. He won his first of 3 South East Counties Football League Championships whilst still at school with Spurs. After leaving school he joined them as an apprentice winning Best Defender of the Tournament at the prestigious Düsseldorf Football Tournament 2 years on the trot, firstly beating the Russian National Youth Team in the first year and getting knocked out the semi-finals in the following. After his apprenticeship he got into the first team within 4 months of being made a pro in 1988, and scored on his league debut versus Wimbledon. During this time he represented England U21 in the Toulon Tournament in France. He won Young Player of the Year for season 89/90. He became the only ever U21 'Rest of the World Team' Captain at the Tournament when he skippered the side against Senegal after the Dutch team went home due to a Surinam plane crash (some of the players were of Surinam origin). After leaving Spurs he joined Portsmouth in 1990 and went on to be a part of 1992 FA Cup semi final…
