Club History
Tottenham are one of north London’s two great clubs, Arsenal‘s fiercest rivals. They were the first team in the 20th century to win the double (league and FA Cup) in 1961. They have won eight FA Cups, four League Cups and a UEFA Cup. The Mauricio Pochettino era (2014-19) brought them close to Premier League glory and to The Champions League final in 2019. That final was their peak — they have struggled since. The opening of their stunning new stadium in 2019 was a symbol of ambition but on-pitch results have been inconsistent. Spurs have not been relegated since 1977 — that record may or may not remain after the final day.
Known For
“To Dare is to Do” — their motto, and arguably the spirit in which they’ve played best
Harry Kane — their greatest ever striker who left for Bayern Munich in 2023
The new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium — one of the finest football grounds in the world
The North London Derby — one of English football’s most intense and emotionally charged fixtures
The 1961 Double — the first in the 20th century
The Lilywhite — their traditional white home kit, always associated with technical, attractive football
Key Players to Watch
Son Heung-min — Forward / Captain
South Korean captain who has been Tottenham’s most important player for years. One of the Premier League’s great entertainers — quick, skilful, a wonderful striker of the ball.
Dejan Kulusevski — Forward / Midfielder
Swedish international in the England World Cup squad (despite playing for Sweden — he qualifies through England on a different basis… actually in the England squad this is Ivan Toney, Dominic Solanke territory). Kulusevski is one of Spurs’ most dynamic players.
