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
with Arsenal's first division status cannot over shadow
Spurs storming to their first league championship, the second division title,
with a record 70 points.
1921 - The year ends in one
again and so it brought our second FA Cup triumph, Spurs beating
Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-0 at Stamford
Bridge with a Jimmy
Dimmock winner on a rain sodden pitch. Spurs had accounted
for Bristol Rovers 6-2, Bradford City4-0, Southend United 4-1, Aston Villa
1-0 and Preston 2-1 in the semi all at the
first attempt.
1928 - Relegation to Second
Division with 38 points.
1933 - Promotion again,
this time as Division Two runners-up.
1934 - Building of the East
Stand completed.
1935 - Relegation to Second
Division.
1938 - The existing crowd
record of 75,038 spectators established for the visit of Sunderland
in the sixth round of the FA Cup. Spurs spoil the show by losing 1-0.
1950 - Led by Arthur Rowe,
Spurs finally gain Promotion to the First Division by winning the second
division championship for the second time.
1951 - One of the greatest
seasons in Spurs history, as the push and run side claim
the Football League Championship for the first time.
1957 - Our club shield is believed
to date from 1957 when the club celebrated its 75 anniversary.
It was made to decipt the enviroment
of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club.
 Bruce Castle which is shown on the top left-hand side is a 16th century building which currently houses the
local history and achieve collection of the London
Brough of Haringey. On the right are the seven trees planted at Page Green by
the seven sisters of Tottenham thus the district known as Seven Sisters.
1961 - The DOUBLE: Football
League Champions and winners of the FA Cup, with a 2-0 win over Leicester
City.
1962 - Spurs retain the FA
with a 3-1 win against Burnley
1963 - Winners of the European
Cup-Winners' Cup. The first British club to win a major European competition.
Jimmy Greaves becomes Spurs' highest League scorer
in one season with 37 goals.
1967 - FA Cup winners for
the fifth time, with a 2-1 win over Chelsea.
1971 - Winners of the
Football League Cup for the first time, with two goal
from Martin Chivers enough to defeat Aston Villa.
1972 - Spurs
won the UEFA cup for the first time with a 3-2 aggregate win over Wolves. Spurs won the first leg at Molyniex
2-1 with a couple from Chivers, before a Mullery
goal was enough to get us a 1-1 draw back at White
Hart Lane.
1973 - A late goal from Sub
Ralph Coates is enough to win the Football League Cup for the second time
against Norwich
City
1974 - Defeat and disgrace
as Spurs lose 4-2 on aggregate to old rivals Feyernoord,
as supporters go on the rampage in the stadium. Spurs are handed a life ban
from Europe, overturned in 1980. Bill
Nicholson resigned in the autumn of the next season, and a young 4 year old watches his first match, as Spurs go down 3-2
at home to Burnley, with John Pratt scoring
his first Spurs goal.
1977 - Relegation to Second
Division.
1978 - Promotion again secured
at first attempt, despite a jittery last week which saw us lose at home to
Sunderland 3-2, beat Hull 1-0 at home with a
late handballed goal from Perryman and a 0-0 draw at already promoted Southampton.
1980 - Old West Stand
demolished to make way for new modern structure.

1983 - The current badge
depicting the two lions plus cockerel and ball, incorporating our initials
was introduced in 1983 and updated in 1992, the latter version - excluding
the lions - appears on the club kit.
The colours of our shield were further amended to
ensure consistency with a darker blue background to match the badge. The
castle and ball switched from yellow to brown, the trees were given greater
definition with the club initials now black on a white backdrop as opposed to
light blue.
1984 - Winners of the UEFA
Cup for the second time, after a penalty shoot out
with Anderlecht.

transferred to Oxford United after making a record 655 League appearances for
Spurs.

FA Cup Final. Clive Allen sets a new Club record with 49 goals in a single
season. Kit returns to white shirts and navy shorts.
1988 - First million plus
signing Paul Stewart from Manchester

2001 - Gooner
Graham sacked and the dark clouds rise from the
Lane. Heavenly choirs accompany his replacement Glenn Hoddle as Spurs embark
on a new era .................
2002 - Spurs reach the
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 Blackburn Rovers with Christian Ziege
scoring Spurs goal. Later that season, Ziege was to
become the first serving Spurs player to appear in a World Cup final when
coming on as sub for Germany
in their defeat to Brazil.
2003 - Hoddle sacked and
Spurs left to drift under crass mismanagement of Levy and Pleat
2004/5 - After 9 months of
waiting, Santini appointed as manager but then
"walked out" a few months later. New director of Football Frank
Arnesen sees his man Martin Jol replace him as manager, and Frank Arnesen
himself leaves for Chelsea
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
the 4th position held since Nov that season but a 5th place guarantees the
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
league cup (semi against Arsenal), FA Cup against Chelsea and in the UEFA
against Sevilla both in the QF stage and both against the eventual winners,
but a late rally in the league lifts Spurs to another 5th place and
UEFA qualification.
2007 – Martin Jol sacked
and replaced by Juande Ramos
2008 – Spurs beat Arsenal
5-1 in the semi final of the League Cup, the first
win over the Gunners since 1999 to set up another all
London clash in the final against Chelsea
2008 - Winners of the
Football League Cup for the fourth time, coming from a goal down to beat
Chelsea 2-1 after extra time with goals from Berbatov (pen) and Woodgate, his
first for the club
2008 – Juande Ramos sacked
and replaced by Harry Redknapp
2009 – Spurs reach the
League Cup final but fail to retain the cup by losing out 4-1 on penalties to
Manchester United after a goalless 120 minutes
2010 – A 1-0 away at
Manchester City guarantees Spurs a top four finish in the Premier League for
the first time and Champions League Football, capping a remarkable turnaround
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
2012 – Another strong
Premier League season in the Redknapp/Bale era see Spurs record record 4th place finish for 2nd
time in 3 seasons but incredible bad luck in the Champions League final
ensure Spurs miss out on the Champions League and Redknapp sacked after the
end of the season ending the most successful period in Spurs recent history.
2013 – Levy reverts back to foreign tactical manager and Director of
Football with AvB, where Gareth Bale’s goals ensure
a record premier league points total but only 5th place
2014 – The summer departure
of Bale leads to a quick decline in fortune and AvB
early exit. A chaotic 2nd half of the season under Sherwood still good enough for European Football again at Spurs.
Pochettino appointed in the summer to begin his
glorious reign
2015 – Spurs reach the
League Cup final but go down to a couple of deflected goals to Chelsea
2016 – Spurs reach the
Champions League and record a new record home attendance against Bayer
Leverkusen. Like the previous highest attendance game against Sunderland in
1938, Spurs again lost 0-1
2017 – The most complete
Spurs side of the modern era achieve a magnificent 86 points and finish
runners up in the League for first time since the 60s. This included a near
perfect 17-2-0 home record which was a fitting tribute to old White Hart Lane
which saw Spurs beat Manchester United 2-1 in the final game of its 116 year history.
2019 – The miracle of Ajax
and Lucas Moura’s late winner get Spurs in the Champions League final, and
while it was not to be in Madrid, reaching the final of Europe’s most
prestigious trophy was a great achievement for the club, a few weeks after
the new Tottenham Hotspur stadium was opened
2021 – A mostly drab period
under Jose Mourinho ended in the week before the League Cup final against
Manchester City, where Spurs surrendered fairly meekly
to a 0-1 defeat, taking the sequence to four goalless cup finals.
2025 – Despite a record 22
league defeats and a 17th place finish, Spurs beat Manchester United
in Bilbao to win the 2025 UEFA Europa League 1-0 with a Brennan Johnson goal
and a Micky van der Ven clearance for a first trophy for 17 years under Ange Postecoglou.
