TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR
- COMPLETE HISTORY
1882
- What
was to become Tottenham Hotspur Football Club was formed by boys from Hotspur
cricket club and from St. John's
Presbyterian local grammar school, who used to meet under a street lamp on Tottenham
High street close to the site of the current
ground. The first name used was 'Hotspur FC' , named
after the Duke of Northumberland's son Percy, who went by the nickname
"Harry Hotspur" and who's fearless heroics would come to symbolise the character of the club.
The first
match was against the Radicals and saw the team lose by two goals on 30th
August 1882, the only other match that season saw Spurs score their first
goal, but lost 8-1 to Latymer. The scorer was not
recorded.
1883 - The club was run by
John Ripsher. The team played on the Tottenham
Marshes and wore Navy Blue. Spurs recorded their first win on the 6th October
1883 with a 9-0 thrashing of Brownlow Rovers, and later that month Buckle was
the first reported Spurs scorer in a 3-1 defeat by Grange
Park.
1884 - The club was renamed
"Tottenham Hotspur Football and Athletic club".
1885 - Spurs played their
first ever competitive match - against St Albans
in the London Association Cup on 17th October 1885, and ran out 5-2 winners
(scorers unrecorded) . A good start to what was to
become a famous cup tradition. The kit had changed to light blue and white
halves.
1887 - November 19th 1887 to
be precise was the first meeting with Arsenal. The scum going under their
original name of Royal Arsenal we being hammered 2-1 when they whinged to the officials and the game was abandonded 15 minutes from time, thus establishing their
place in history as cheats, and second best to Tottenham.
1888 - Spurs moved to play
home matches at Northumberland
Park and charged an
attendance fee for the first time, 3d!
1890 - A moment of madness, or
the first gooner infiltrator!,
as the kit changes colour once again -this time to
Red shirts and Navy shorts!
1895 - Spurs became a
professional club
1896 - Spurs were elected to
the Southern League, thankfully changing our colours
from Red, this time to Chocolate and Gold stripes.
1897 - The first of many cup
finals - although unlike many of the subsequent ones, Spurs lost 2-0 to Wellingborough in a Local charity Cup
1898 - The club changed its colours for the last time to the lilywhite shirts used by
the team of the day Preston North End, but retained the Navy blue shorts. The
club also became a limited company and a record attendance of 15,000 saw the
match against Woolwich Arsenal. Typically enough, boring Arsenal spoilt the
day by grinding out a 0-0 on 8th April 1898.
1899 - The Club moved to
present site which had a capacity of 35,000. The ground was almost named 'Gilpin
Park' but, having never
been officially names, gradually became known as 'White
Hart Lane'. The first match was a friendly vs Notts County,
and after taking gross receipts £115 , Spurs ran out
4-1 winners with an opener from Pratt, followed by a hatrick
for Copeland.
1900 - Spurs become
Champions of the Southern League.
1901 - After victories
against Preston 4-2 after a replay 1-1, Bury 2-1, Reading 3-0 after a replay
1-1 and West Brom 4-0 in the Semi's, Spurs won the
FA Challenge Cup by beating Sheffield United 3-1 after a replay at Burnden Park, Bolton to become the only non-League club,
ever to achieve this honour. Spurs were unlucky not
to have won the first match at Crystal
Palace which ended 2-2
as the referee wrongly awarded Sheffield United an equaliser.
Star of the cup run was Sandy Brown, who scored in 7 of the 8 matches,
including a hatrick in the away win at Preston, all
four in the 4-0 Semi final win against West Brom
and in both finals to register 15 goals overall - a record which will surely
never be broken.
1902 - Runners up in both the
Southern and Western Leagues
1901 - Winners of the Western
League and runners up again inthe Southern League
1908 - Despite only
finishing 7th in the Southern League, Spurs were elected to the Second
Division of the Football League.
1908 - The club had gone on
a tour of Argentina.
on the ship on the way home one of the amusements
was a fancy dress contest, which was eventually won by two of the Tottenham
squad dressed as Robinson Crusoe and Man Friday. Suffering from some
understandable confusion with the story of Long Kevan
Silver, they borrowed the ship's pet parrot. In recognition of their success
the bird was presented to the club by the captain. It survived happily at the
club for ten years, dying on the day that Arsenal were given Spurs' place in
the first division in 1919.
1909 - Spurs win their first
ever league match 3-0 against Wolves and take the division by storm finishing
runners up and gaining promotion to First Division at the first attempt.
1909 - The cockerel and ball
first appeared in 1909 when a former player W J Scott cast a copper centrepiece to perch on the new west stand. Our
world-famous ball-and-cockerel emblem is believed to have its origins in
cock-fighting, because combative cocks were fitted with tiny spurs.
The origin of the cockerel symbol has never been satisfactorily been
explained. Harry Hotspur after whom the club was named wore spurs while leading
his troops into battle. The spurs which were attached to the legs of fighting
cocks were similar and the club's badge in the nineteenth century was a
simple spur. Somewhere along the line a link was made between the fighting
cock and the cockspur and the cockerel took over as the symbol. It became
firmly established as the symbol in 1910 when the cockerel and ball were
erected on the roof of the main stand. The two lions rampant are taken from
the crest of the northumberland family who feature
heavily in hte history of the local area.
Our motto "Audere est
Facere" is Latin inscription, the litreral translation meaning "to dare is to
do". In other words unless you try you will never achieve.
1915 - After finishing
15th, 15th, 12th, 17th 17th, Spurs finally are
relegation to Second Division after finishing 20th, BUT ONLY BECAUSE ARSENAL
BRIBED THE FA. After the First World War, the Football League decided to
expand the two divisions from 20 to 22 clubs. Derby
County and Preston
North End, the top two Second Division clubs, were automatically promoted.
Chelsea, who had finished above Spurs in 1914-15, were
told that they could remain in Division 1, as a match between Manchester
United and Liverpool had been fixed in
1915. No case was made out for Spurs, and Arsenal (who had finished sixth in
Division 2 in 1914-15, behind Barnsley, Wolves and Birmingham)
were promoted at spurs’ expense. BASTARDS.
1920 - Shenanighans

their first league championship, the second division title, with a record 70
points.
1921 - The year ends in one

Ralph Coates is enough to win the Football League Cup for the second time
against Norwich
City

League Cup final with a fantastic 5-1 semi final win over Chelsea but a below
par performance and a host of missed chances saw Spurs beaten 2-1 by

first serving Spurs player to appear in a World Cup final when coming on as
sub for Germany in their
defeat to Brazil.

in the summer
2006 - Spurs suffer final
day heartache (or should that be gutache) as a
poisoned squad loses 2-1 to West Ham and with in

highest premier league finish and a return to the UEFA cup next season
2007 – Campaigning on four
fronts for most of the season, Spurs suffered springtime knock outs of the

in the clubs fortunes by Harry Redknapp
2011 – A memorable first
Champions League campaign sees Spurs progress to the last 8 in Europe,
falling to Real Madrid having already beaten AC Milan and current holders
Inter along the way. The European run took their toll towards what had been a
strong league campaign but Spurs still managed to finish 5th and
guarantee another year of European football & it is a measure of Spurs
progress that a finish which earned Jol the
plaudits in 2006 was perceived by some to be disappointing in 2011
