| Peter McWilliam (First Spell): 26
December 1912 - 28 February 1927 |
|
|
| Inverness born, McWilliam had been a player with
Newcastle and Scotland before an injury finished his career and he went into
management with Tottenham. He was a quiet but popular manager and became the
most successful with an FA cup win in 1921 and a second place in Division 1
in 1922, after the Division 2 Championship in 1920. Left for Middlesbrough
after 14 years service after salary problems Having entered the football
league in 1908, Spurs decided that it would be advisable to appoint a
full-time manager, and Peter McWilliam was duly appointed. A full Scottish
international, McWilliam experienced great success with Newcastle United
until an injury in an international match finished his playing career. |
| McWilliam became the most successful Spurs
manager up until that time which, considering the achievements of John
Cameron, was no mean feat. McWilliam was a popular manager who didn't believe
in burdening the players with tactics, he simply left the playing side to the
players. An example of this was when he didn't bother to explain the revised
offside law to the players, he left it to them to work it out. This approach
was a popular one and may have been a reason why his respect and success as a
manager were beginning to rise. McWilliam's Spurs won the Second Division
title in 1920, the FA cup in 1921 and achieved a runners-up position in the
First Division in 1922. |
| Other clubs noticed the success he had at
Tottenham and he was duly approached by Middlesborough who offered him £1,500
a year to be their manager. Despite wanting to stay at Spurs, the directors
refused to raise his salary to £1,000, which would have kept him at White
Hart Lane. McWilliam left in 1927 to become manager of Middlesborough. He
later joined Arsenal as chief scout but later finally returned to White Hart
Lane in 1938 after several rumoured attempts to lure him back from the
North-East. |
