TOPSPURS-The world famous unofficial home of THFC on the internet

Arthur Turner: August 1942 - January 1946                  
Although Arthur Turner was never offically a Spurs manager, served Spurs' cause with great aplomb for 43 years, sometimes in the face of great adversity, i.e. 2 world wars & remains an unsung Tottenham Legend
After the resignation of Fred Kirkham, the directors decided not to appoint another manager and decided that they could do the job themselves, although the responsibilities on the field seemingly fell squarely on Turner's shoulders. Turner was instrumental in signing some of Spurs' most important and influential players (Bill Nicholson) during his 'reign'. Turner worked miracles during both world wars in ensuring that Spurs fulfilled their fixtures and managed a full team. He died in 1949.
