History
Tottenham was founded in 1882 (a bewildering 133 years ago!). They were promoted to Division 1 in 1908 and are the only non-league club to have ever lifted the FA Cup trophy. Quite an achievement. The team played their first matches on public pitches including Tottenham Marshes, where fights would sometimes break out due to who was going to get to play on the best pitches.

The White Hart Lane ground was owned by the brewery Charringtons and was only originally a disused nursery. The bronze cast of a cockerel that is displayed at the stadium since 1910 was actually designed by a former player which offers a nice connection back to the club’s history for today’s fans.

The first Tottenham original kit was navy blue short and shirts. They have constantly changed their kit colour and the current kit is comprised of white shirts and shorts.

Their closest rival is the Arsenal team which is also based in North London, resulting in local derby’s that both teams relish. This rivalry dates back to very many years and is one of the biggest rivalries in English football.

Mauricio Pochettino has had a successful 2015-16 season with the club despite their failure to keep pressure on league winners (and 5000-1 outsiders at the start of the season) Leicester . Their fast and dangerous attacks have made them one of the most fierce clubs in the English Premier League and while their 2-2 draw with Chelsea may have crashed their title hopes,  they will surely have little to regret after producing such a brilliant display throughout the season.

Notable Records And Statistics
Steve Perryman holds the record for most appearances, playing 854 games for the club. The club’s all-time top goalscorer is Jimmy Greaves, who managed to net 266 goals in 380 appearances for the club.
