Tottenham Hotspur History

Bizarre though it might sound to the modern football supporter, Tottenham Hotspur are the only non-league team to win the FA Cup since the Football League was founded in 1888. They achieved this feat by beating Sheffield United 3-1 in 1901. Seven years later the club was invited to join the two-tier Football League, winning promotion to the top flight in their first year. After spending time in both divisions during the 1930s and 40s, they returned to win their first League title in 1951, an achievement they have repeated only once since, ten years later. Throughout the 20th century it became a running theme that if the year had a 1 at the end then Spurs would win something. As well as the two league titles, the club lifted the FA Cup in 1901, 1921, 1961, 1981 and 1991, as well as the UEFA Cup in 1971. But apart from their fourth League Cup triumph in 2008, the trophy cabinet has been conspicuously bare over the last 30 years.

The club’s glory years came under the management of Bill Nicholson, who led the club from 1958 to 1974, with the likes of Jimmy Greaves, Dave Mackay, Martin Chivers and Pat Jennings contributing to both domestic and European success. By the time Nicholson was replaced, he had overseen 8 major trophy wins during his 16 year tenure. The 1970s was a largely disappointing period in Tottenham’s history, but a rebuilt side including future England manager Glenn Hoddle, and the Argentine duo Osvaldo Ardiles and Ricky Villa saw a return to form, which resulted in back-to-back FA Cup wins and a second UEFA Cup in 1984. A record 8th FA Cup came in 1991, with Terry Venables in the manager’s chair, but the club languished mostly in midtable through the decade. Tottenham haven’t missed a season in the Premier League since it was formed in 1992, and a succession of managers have pushed the club back into the upper echelons of the table – Harry Redknapp achieved 3 successive top 5 finishes, a feat repeated by Mauricio Pochettino who almost delivered the coveted Premier League title in 2017, but Spurs missed out to London rivals Chelsea despite losing only 4 games throughout the season.

North London Derby

Spurs have a long-standing rivalry with North London neighbours Arsenal, which began when the Gunners moved from South London into Tottenham’s patch back in 1913. The free transfer of local boy Sol Campbell from Tottenham to Arsenal in 2001 intensified the antipathy, and it’s a move that still makes the blood of a Spurs fan boil, even more than two decades later.

The Spurs Great Players

The number of great footballers who have played for Spurs is immense. In addition to those
previously mentioned, the likes of Paul Gascoigne, Chris Waddle, Jurgen Klinsmann, Gareth Bale and Luka Modric have contributed to the club’s rich history. And the current crop of players contains names that will be forever remembered by the fans – England skipper Harry Kane and his strike partner Son Heung-min already enjoying legend status.

New Stadium for the 21st Century

Tottenham have been playing football at White Hart Lane since 1899, and the original ground was redeveloped on a number of occasions throughout the 20th century, at a cost to the club of several millions of pounds. But these sums seem trivial compared with the estimated £1 billion that was spent on creating the new Tottenham Stadium, which was built on top of the old ground, and opened in 2019. But anyone who has been there will tell you it’s one of the finest football stadia in the world. The playing area is illuminated by 324 LED lights, there are four huge LED
screens, one in each corner of the stadium, and the roof is designed to have concert hall acoustics, keeping the sound inside the bowl and trapping the atmosphere created on a matchday. Due to Tottenham’s partnership with the NFL, the playing area has two different pitches, one on top of the other. The main football pitch can be retracted in under an hour to reveal a synthetic surface suited to American Football.

It’s a real treat to watch football at the Tottenham Stadium, and doing this in VIP seating, with access to the Travel Club bars and lounge facilities makes it one of the best experiences available in Premier League hospitality.

Did you know?

Tottenham is the only English club who can say that Diego Maradona has played for them. He lined up alongside Hoddle and Waddle in the famous white kit for the 1986 testimonial of his international teammate Ossie Ardiles. But Ardiles wasn’t the first foreign player to play for the club – in fact in 1908, German striker Max Seeburg became the first footballer from overseas to play in the English Football League, in a Tottenham side that was making its league debut that year.
