| Billy Minter: 28 February 1927 - 20 November 1929 | |||||||||||||||
| A player with Spurs from 1908-26, where he scored 95 League goals at inside forward. Minter was Spurs through and through, and despite his best efforts, Spurs were relegated in his first full season in control. Minter worked relentlessly to get Spurs back into the top division but anxiety contributed to illness which meant he could not continue as manager. Remained with the club until his death in 1940. A TopSpur. Transferred to Tottenham on February 28, 1908, Minter was previously with Reading, Norwich and Woolwich Arsenal. He scored on his debut, a 2-1 home defeat by Millwall. Billy missed our opening Football League fixture but played in all but three of the remaining 37 matches as we gained promotion to the top division at the first attempt. | |||||||||||||||
| He topped our goalscoring chart in each of our first three campaigns in Division One and was principal scorer in seven pre-war seasons, with an aggregate total of 88 Football League goals. During the four wartime seasons he played 15 games scoring 14 goals. | |||||||||||||||
| On the resumption in 1919 he was named Club Captain but midway through our Second Division Championship Campaign made the last of his 243 Football Appearances for us, at Hull City. | |||||||||||||||
| His goals tally of 95 in the Football League stood as Club record until surpassed by Jimmy Dimmock in January 1930. He had an impressive total goal tally of 151 from 334 matches in Spurs' colours. | |||||||||||||||
| Minter retired in June, 1920, to take over as trainer under Peter McWilliam. His first season with new dutieswon the FA Cup for the second time. | |||||||||||||||
| He was chosen to take over from scotsman Peter McWilliam as Spurs manager on February 28, 1927. That was 19 years to the day since his arrival at White Hart Lane. | |||||||||||||||
| Minter's first season in charge of Spurs was not a success. Spurs were relegated and were unable to gain their place in the top flight under his command. The strain of work took its toll on Minter who, despite working every hour that he could, could not bring success back to White Hart Lane. Failing health, brought on by stress, caused him to resign the post of manager on November 20, 1929. Thereafter, he worked in the club's administrate offices. In 1932-33 he was appointed assistant secretary, a post he held until his death. William James Minter, born on April 16, 1988, died at Tottenham on May 21, 1940 - Tottenham Legend | |||||||||||||||
