This treaty was confirmed to be ''"already null and void"'' by [[Treaty on Basic Relations between Japan and the Republic of Korea]] in 1965.
'''Tottenham Hotspur Football Club''' is an [[England|English]] professional [[football (soccer)|football]] club, which plays in the [[Premier League]]. The club is also commonly referred to simply as '''Tottenham''' or '''Spurs''', while their own fans also refer to them as the [[Lilywhites]] because of their traditional white shirts. Its home ground is [[White Hart Lane]], [[Tottenham]], [[London]].
==Complete Text==
Tottenham were the first club in the 20th century to achieve the [[The Double|League and FA Cup Double]], winning both competitions in the [[1960-61 in English football|1960-61 season]]. In 1963, Spurs became the first British club to win a European trophy - the [[UEFA Cup Winners' Cup|European Cup Winners' Cup]].
Article 1. For the purpose of maintaining a permanent and solid friendship between Korea and Japan and firmly establishing peace in the Far East, the Imperial Government of Korea shall place full confidence in the Imperial Government of Japan, and adopt the advice of the latter in regard to improvements in administration.
Article 2. The Imperial Government of Japan shall in spirit of firm friendship ensure the safety and repose of the Imperial House of Korea.
The club's [[motto]] is ''Audere est Facere'' (lit: "to dare is to do") and its [[emblem]] is a [[rooster|cockerel]] standing upon a football. The club has a long-standing rivalry with near neighbours [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]] and matches between the two teams are known as the [[North London derby]].
Article 3. The Imperial Government of Japan definitively guarantees the independence and territorial integrity of the Korean Empire.
==History==
===From formation to the first league title===
In 1882 the '''Hotspur Football Club''' was formed by boys from a local grammar school and Hotspur [[Cricket]] Club. It is thought that the name ''Hotspur'' was associated with Sir [[Henry Percy]] ''(Sir Harry Hotspur)'' who lived locally in the 14th century. The team later became '''Tottenham Hotspur''' to distinguish itself from another team called ''London Hotspur''.
Article 4. In case the welfare of the Imperial House of Korea or the territorial integrity of Korea is endangered by aggression of a third power or internal disturbances, the Imperial Government of Japan shall immediately take such necessary measures as circumstances require, and in such case the Imperial Government of Korea shall give full facilities to promote the action of the Imperial Japanese Government. The Imperial Government of Japan may, for the attainment of the above mentioned object, occupy when the circumstances require, such places as may be necessary for strategic reasons.
At first Spurs played in navy blue shirts. The club colours then varied from light blue and white halved jerseys, to red shirts and blue shorts, through chocolate brown and old gold and then finally, in the 1899-00 season, to white shirts and navy blue shorts as a tribute to [[Preston North End F.C.|Preston North End]], the most successful team of the time.
Article 5. The Governments of the two countries shall not in the future without mutual consent conclude with a third power such an arrangement as may be contrary to the principles of the present protocol.
In 1888 Tottenham moved their home fixtures from the [[River Lee]] marshes to Northumberland Park where the club was able to charge for spectator admission. They turned professional just before Christmas 1895 and were then admitted to the [[Southern Football League|Southern League]] and attracted crowds nearing 15,000. Charles Roberts became chairman in 1898 and stayed in post until 1943.
Article 6. Details in connection with the present protocol shall be arranged as the circumstances may require between the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Korea and the representative of the Empire of Japan.
In 1899 Spurs made their final ground move to a former market garden in nearby High Road, Tottenham. In time the ground became known as [[White Hart Lane]], a local thoroughfare. Tottenham were the considerable beneficiaries of the escalating unionisation of the northern professional game in the 1890s. Both [[John Cameron]] and [[John Bell (Association Footballer)|John Bell]], formerly Everton players came to play for Tottenham as a result of the conflict caused by their organisation of the Association Footballers' Union, a forerunner of the [[Professional Footballers' Association]]. As a direct result of this in 1900, Tottenham won the [[Southern League]] title and crowned this achievement the next year by winning the [[FA Cup]] - becoming the only non-League club to do so since the formation of [[the Football League]].

Tottenham won election to the Second Division of the Football League for the 1908-09 season, immediately winning promotion as runners-up to the [[Football League First Division|First Division]]. Their record between 1910 and [[World War I|the Great War]] was poor and when football was suspended at the end of the 1914-15 season, Tottenham were bottom of the league.

When football resumed in 1919, the First Division was expanded from 20 to 22 teams. The Football League extended one of the additional places to 19th-place [[Chelsea F.C.|Chelsea]] (who would have been relegated with Spurs for the 1915-1916 season) and the other to [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]]. This promotion - Arsenal had finished only fifth in Division 2 the previous season - was controversial, and cemented a bitter rivaly (begun six years earlier, with Arsenal's relocation to Tottenham's hinterland) that continues to this day. Tottenham were [[Football League Second Division|Division Two]] Champions in [[1919-20 in English football|1919-20]] and in the following year, on [[April 23]] [[1921]], Spurs went all the way to their second FA Cup Final victory beating [[Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C.|Wolves]] 1-0 at [[Stamford Bridge (stadium)|Stamford Bridge]].

After finishing second to [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]] in the League in 1922, Spurs experienced a steady decline, culminating in 1928's relegation. Spurs were unable to advance beyond the quarter finals of the FA Cup, getting that far three years running 1935-1938. On [[September 3]] [[1939]], as [[Neville Chamberlain]] [[World War II|declared war]], Spurs were seventh in the Second Division. League Football was abandoned for the "duration".
Following the war, football was an extremely popular interest attracting thousands of supporters each week-end. By 1949 [[Arthur Rowe]] was manager at the club and devised and developed the “[[push and run]]” tactical style of play. This involved quickly laying the ball off to a team-mate and running past the marking tackler to collect the return pass. It proved an effective way to move the ball at pace with players' positions and responsibility being totally fluid. Rising to the top of the Second Division, Tottenham ran away with their first ever league title, winning the First Division Championship in 1951. Playing heroes included [[Alf Ramsey]], Ronnie Burgess, [[Ted Ditchburn]], Len Duquemin, Sonny Walters and [[Bill Nicholson (footballer)|Bill Nicholson]].
===The 1960s and 1970s===
[[Image:Shirtbadge2.png|thumb|left|75px| Spurs shirt badge from 1967-[[1983]]]]
Nicholson had joined Tottenham Hotspur as an apprentice in 1936. The following 68 years saw him serve the club in every capacity from boot room to president. In his first game as manager on [[11 October]] [[1958]], Spurs beat [[Everton F.C.|Everton]] 10-4. This was their record win at the time and a sign of things to come. He subsequently guided Tottenham to major trophy success three seasons in a row in the early 1960s: the [[The Double|double]] in 1961, the FA Cup and [[European Cup]] Semi-final in 1962, and the [[Cup Winners' Cup]] in 1963. Key players included [[Danny Blanchflower]], [[John White (Scottish footballer)|John White]], [[Dave Mackay]], [[Cliff Jones (footballer)|Cliff Jones]] and [[Jimmy Greaves]].
After 1964, the "Double" side began to disintegrate due to age, injuries and transfers. Nicholson rebuilt a second successful team with imports like [[Alan Gilzean]], [[Mike England]], [[Alan Mullery]], [[Terry Venables]], [[Joe Kinnear]] and [[Cyril Knowles]]. They beat [[Chelsea F.C.|Chelsea]] to win the [[FA Cup Final 1967|1967 FA Cup Final]] and finished third in the league.
Nicholson added the [[Football League Cup|League Cup]] (1971 and 1973) and the [[UEFA Cup]] (1972) to Tottenham's illustrious history before he resigned at the start of the [[1974-75 in English football|1974-75 season]] due to both a poor start, and his disgust at seeing rioting fans in [[Rotterdam]] in a [[UEFA Cup]] final, which Spurs lost.
Nicholson had won 8 major trophies in 16 years and his spell in charge was without doubt the most glorious period in the club's history. However, what he left behind was an ageing squad and Spurs could no longer claim to be a true force in English football. Nicholson wished to select his replacement and lined up a 'dream team' of Johnny Giles and Danny Blanchflower to take over, but the Spurs board ignored his advice and appointed ex Arsenal player [[Terry Neill]], who narrowly avoided relegation at the end of 1974-5. Never accepted by the fans, Neill left the club in 1976 and was replaced by his assistant [[Keith Burkinshaw]] that summer.
Tottenham slipped out of the First Division at the end of the [[1976-77 in English football|1976-77 season]], after 27 years in the top flight. This was soon followed by the unwise sale of their Northern Ireland international goalkeeper Pat Jennings to arch rivals [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]], a move that shocked the club's fans and proved to be a serious error. Jennings played on for another eight years for Spurs' rivals, while Tottenham took until 1981 to replace him with a goalkeeper of genuine class in Ray Clemence from Liverpool.
Despite relegation, the board kept faith with Burkinshaw and the team immediately won promotion to the top flight. In the summer of 1978 Burkinshaw rocked the football world by signing two [[Argentina|Argentinian]] [[World Cup]] stars [[Osvaldo Ardiles]] and [[Ricardo Villa]] which was the kind of transfer coup never seen before in British football. It took time for a new team to be forged into a successful unit
Throughout the years Spurs have played entertaining football and till this day continue to do so. [[Martin Jol]] the current manager is well aware of the traditions of the club and labels them as entertainers.
===The 1980s===
It was not until 1981 that Burkinshaw was rewarded with a trophy - the [[FA Cup]] - by beating [[Manchester City F.C.|Manchester City]] 3-2 in a replay, with Ricky Villa scoring his memorable solo goal.
Spurs retained the trophy the following year again after a replay, beating [[Queens Park Rangers F.C.|QPR]]. During this season the club chased four trophies and only a fixture pile up prevented a much closer challenge for the league title. At Easter, Spurs had games in hand which if they had won would put them top ahead of Liverpool, but it was too much to ask and they had to settle for a fourth place finish.
Spurs reached the League Cup Final and were just 3 minutes away from victory before Liverpool equalised and then won in extra time. In the Cup Winners' Cup a disappointing semi-final with [[FC Barcelona|Barcelona]] was lost by a single goal in Spain, following a 1-1 draw at home.
Most neutrals agreed though Spurs deserved a trophy and, while the FA Cup Final was not the most exciting (Spurs were in fact holding on for the entire second half), it was a just reward. Key players in this successful Tottenham side included [[Steve Archibald]], [[Garth Crooks]], [[Glenn Hoddle]], [[Osvaldo Ardiles]], and [[Steve Perryman]] who, in 17 seasons, played 655 league games for Spurs. These players inspired Tottenham to [[UEFA Cup]] glory in 1984, but several weeks before this victory Burkinshaw announced he would be leaving at the end of that season. Hindsight has proved that the failure to hold on to Burkinshaw was a major turning point in the club's history. He had won three trophies in four seasons with a brand of football not seen for many years. It is worth considering that prior to the 1984 UEFA Cup win, Spurs had won eleven major trophies - virtually one trophy every two seasons. This remains a prime reason why many still regard Spurs as a major club and why success is still expected by the fans.
The board initially approached Aberdeen manager [[Alex Ferguson]] to succeed Burkinshaw and a deal came close to being signed, but when he opted to stay in Scotland the board turned to Burkinshaw's assistant, [[Peter Shreeves]].
In 1982 the club was bought by [[Monte Carlo]]-based property tycoon [[Irving Scholar]]. He arrived in a boardroom which had seen just one or two proficient directors since the forties. The challenge for Scholar was to reinstate financial stability after the construction of the new West Stand which had almost bankrupted the club. Peter Shreeves was in charge for two seasons, achieving a third place finish in 1984-85 when Spurs were close contenders for the title all the way until Easter when a run of terrible home results ruined their chances. Shreeves lost his job after a slump in 1985-86.
[[Luton Town F.C.|Luton Town]] manager [[David Pleat]] was appointed the new manager, and for much of [[1986-87 in English football|1986-87]] it looked as though it would be a very successful season. Playing with a five man midfield (Hoddle, Ardiles, [[Steve Hodge|Hodge]], [[Paul Allen (footballer)|Allen]], [[Chris Waddle|Waddle]]) supplying the prolific [[Clive Allen]], Tottenham mounted a sustained challenge on all fronts. At one point in March, if they had won their remaining 13 matches, they would have claimed all domestic honours. As it was, they were defeated in an agonising League Cup semi final by rivals Arsenal.<ref>[http://football.guardian.co.uk/News_Story/0,,1997333,00.html 'The result was a stab in the heart for Spurs - then I gave George Graham a lift home' - David Pleat, The Guardian, Jan 24 2007]</ref> After faltering at the final hurdle in the league, Spurs' hopes hinged on the FA Cup. Spurs had never before lost a domestic cup final while their opponents, Coventry, had never before even reached a Cup Final. Spurs were the favourites but suffered a 3-2 defeat at the hands of [[John Sillett]]'s team. That a season of such splendid quality could produce no honours was hard to take for Spurs, but the future still looked bright.
However, as was to become a pattern in years to come, just when things appeared settled a 'banana skin' appeared. Pleat quit in October 1987 following allegations about his private life. He returned a decade later, but his short spell in charge was one of the great 'if only' stories in the club's history. Former Spurs player [[Terry Venables]] was named Pleat's successor, and after two league seasons, guided the club to third place in [[1989-90 in English football|1989-90]] and an FA Cup win in 1991. The new-look Tottenham team included two players who starred in England's run to the semi-finals of the [[1990 FIFA World Cup]] – [[Paul Gascoigne]] and [[Gary Lineker]].
===Premier League===
In 1990, a slump in the property market left chairman Scholar on the verge of [[bankruptcy]]. Venables joined forces with businessman [[Alan Sugar]] to take over Tottenham Hotspur [[Public limited company|PLC]] and pay off its £20 million debt, part of which involved the sale of Gascoigne. Venables became chief executive, with Shreeves again taking charge of first-team duties. His second spell as team manager lasted just one season, before he was dismissed in favour of joint coaches [[Ray Clemence]] and Doug Livermore. Tottenham's first [[Premier League]] season ended with a mid-table finish and Venables was removed from the club's board after a legal dispute with Sugar. Ossie Ardiles became the club's next manager in 1993.
Under Ardiles, Tottenham employed the ''Famous Five'': [[Teddy Sheringham]] and [[Jurgen Klinnsman|Klinsmann]] up front, [[Nick Barmby]] just behind, [[Darren Anderton]] on the right and [[Ilie Dumitrescu|Dumitrescu]] on the left. Klinsmann was a sensation, scoring freely and becoming a firm fan favourite. Ultimately these expensive signings made little difference to Tottenham's form and Ardiles was sacked in September 1994.
During the 1994 close season, Tottenham was found guilty of making illegal payments to players and given one of the most severe punishments in English football history: a 12 point deduction, a one year FA Cup ban, and a £600,000 fine. Sugar protested and the Cup ban and points deduction were quashed.
Ardiles was replaced by [[Gerry Francis]]. He initially turned around the club's fortunes dramatically. Tottenham climbed to seventh in the league, and reached the FA Cup semi-finals, a mere 4-1 defeat against eventual winners, [[Everton F.C.|Everton]], blocking them. Francis was unable to take the club forward from this point and his judgement in the transfer market was flawed. [[1996-97 in English football|1996-97]] saw Tottenham finish in tenth place. Striker Teddy Sheringham was sold to [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]] after contract negotiations broke down. In November 1997, with Spurs second from bottom and in danger of relegation, Francis was sacked. [[Christian Gross]], coach of Swiss champions [[Grasshopper-Club Zürich|Grasshoppers]], was appointed. He re-signed legendary striker Jürgen Klinsmann, whose second spell proved a key factor in securing Premiership survival. [[George Graham (footballer)|George Graham]] was hired to lead the club before the [[1998-99 in English football|1998-99 season]]. Despite heavy criticism from fans due to Graham's previous association with Arsenal, in his first season as Spurs manager the club secured a mid-table finish and won the League Cup. However, another disappointing league finish followed in [[1999-00 in English football|1999-00]]. In 2001, Sugar's patience broke. He sold his controlling interest to ''ENIC Sports PLC'', run by [[Daniel Levy (Tottenham Hotspur)|Daniel Levy]].
Team management passed to Tottenham legend [[Glenn Hoddle]] who took over in April 2001 with the team lying thirteenth in the table. The club captain, [[Sol Campbell]], defected to Arsenal on a [[Bosman ruling|Bosman]] [[free transfer (soccer)|free transfer]]. With limited funds to improve the squad Hoddle turned to more experienced players in the shape of Teddy Sheringham, [[Gus Poyet]] and [[Christian Ziege]] for inspiration.
Season [[FA Premier League 2001-02|2001-02]] saw some improvement, and Spurs finished in ninth place. However, a League Cup Final defeat to [[Blackburn Rovers F.C.|Blackburn Rovers]] left Hoddle under pressure for the following campaign. Limited funds were available and the only significant outlay was £7 million for [[Robbie Keane]], who joined from [[Leeds United A.F.C.|Leeds United]]. [[FA Premier League 2002-03|2002-03]] started well, with Tottenham in the top six as late as early February. But with just seven points in the final 10 games, the club finished in tenth place. Several players publicly criticised Hoddle's management and communication skills. Six games into the [[FA Premier League 2003-04|2003-04 season]], Hoddle was sacked and David Pleat took over on a caretaker basis until a full-time successor could be found.
[[Image:Robbie Keane Penalty.jpg|right|thumb|300px|[[Robbie Keane]] prepares to take a [[penalty kick]] at White Hart Lane]]
In May 2004, Tottenham signed French team manager [[Jacques Santini]] as head coach, with [[Martin Jol]] as his assistant and [[Frank Arnesen]] as Sporting Director. Santini quit the club in bizarre circumstances after just 13 games. He was replaced by Jol. The big Dutchman became a favourite with the passionate Spurs crowd and in spite of a ninth finish in his first season, it was clear progress was being made. When Arnesen defected to Chelsea, Spurs appointed [[Damien Comolli]] as Sporting Director.
During [[FA Premier League 2005-06|2005-06]] Spurs spent six months in fourth place but ended fifth, gaining a place in the [[UEFA Cup]].
===Season 2006-2007===
For the '''2006-2007 season''', Tottenham changed kit sponsors to [[PUMA AG|Puma]] and shirt advertisers to Mansion.<ref>[http://tottenham.mansion.com/ mansion.com] - Mansion sponsors Tottenham Hotspur.</ref> Spurs home shirt saw the removal of the blue shoulders, with the away kit changing from cyan shorts to navy shorts, and the alternate kit changing from yellow to chocolate brown. Spurs wore an 'all-white' kit where possible for European fixtures, continuing a long-standing tradition. A notable signing was [[Dimitar Berbatov]] from [[Bayer Leverkusen]].
The season began with Jol having lost his holding midfielder [[Michael Carrick]] who moved to [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]] and his captain [[Ledley King]] who didn't make his first appearance for the team until September due to injury and then a further four months out through injury from the end of December until mid April. The purchases of [[Pascal Chimbonda]], [[Benoit Assou-Ekotto]], [[Didier Zokora]], [[Dimitar Berbatov]] and [[Steed Malbranque]] provided a further obstacle with having to gel together almost half a new first XI while trying to compete on four fronts.
The season was marred with regular injuries particularly in defensive areas with [[Ledley King]], [[Paul Stalteri]], [[Benoit Assou-Ekotto]], [[Young-Pyo Lee]], [[Anthony Gardner]], [[Jermaine Jenas]], [[Steed Malbranque]] and [[Teemu Tainio]] all suffering long-term injuries while [[Didier Zokora]], [[Dimitar Berbatov]], [[Robbie Keane]] and [[Aaron Lennon]] all suffered injuries that kept them out for around a month causing Jol to rarely have a settled XI to pick for an extended period. The sale of [[Calum Davenport]] and purchase of [[Ricardo Rocha]] (who was cup tied for European football) by [[Damien Comolli]] caused further problems with Jol having one less available defender for the [[UEFA Cup]], having to opt for right-back [[Pascal Chimbonda]] in central defence at times, and still without a suitable replacement for the injured [[Ledley King]].
Their Premiership form in the first half of the season was erratic, although there was a rare home win against reigning champions Chelsea in November, 2006. Away form was poor during the first half of the season but saw a vast improvement in the second half with just 2 league away losses from January to the end of the season and just 1 loss in their final 6 away league games, that being against [[Chelsea F.C.|Chelsea]] just 36 hours after playing a [[UEFA Cup]] tie in [[Spain]].
The improvement in their away form, good home form and an excellent late run helped lift Spurs into fifth position in the final table and therefore into the [[UEFA Cup 2007-08|UEFA Cup]] for the second year running, while showing signs of developing into a side that plays attractive, effective football as [[Martin Jol]] makes his mark on the squad.
They reached the [[FA Cup]] quarter-finals where they faced Chelsea and drew 3-3 away but lost the replay at White Hart Lane 1-2. Their [[Football League Cup|League Cup]] run took them to the semi-finals, where they faced Arsenal at home in the first leg. This match ended in a 2-2 draw, but their hopes of glory were ended in the second leg when they lost 3-1 after extra time.
In the [[UEFA Cup 2006-07|UEFA Cup]], Tottenham progressed to the quarter-finals, where they faced the cup holders and eventual winners [[Sevilla FC|Sevilla]] in the quarter finals, and were eliminated from the competition 4-3 on aggregate (2-1 away and 2-2 return leg at home).
Martin Jol took charge of his 100th league game at the club on [[April 28]], [[2007]], while the highly effective Berbatov-Keane strike partnership was rewarded when they were named joint '''Player of the Month''' for April, a rare occurrence in the history of the award.
===Season 2007-08===
Tottenham completed their first signing preparatory to the 2007-08 season by signing the highly-rated 17 year old left back [[Gareth Bale]] from [[Southampton F.C.|Southampton]] for an initial fee of £5 million which could rise to £10 million, depending on his and the team's performances. [[Robbie Keane]] was rewarded on [[May 28]] [[2007]] with a new 5 year contract keeping him at the club until 2012. Spurs have also completed the signing of [[Adel Taarabt]] on a permanent basis following his loan from [[RC Lens]]. The fee was undisclosed. On 8 June Spurs completed the signing of defender [[Yuri Berchiche]] from [[Athletic Bilbao]], who will be part of the Spurs Academy. On the 29th of June Spurs signed England forward [[Darren Bent]], from Charlton Atheltic, for a reported fee of £16.5 million (a club record) to be paid over a period of three years. The third major signing of the pre-season was French central defender and Under-21 captain [[Younes Kaboul]] from [[AJ Auxerre]] for an undisclosed fee believed to be in the region of £8 million.
==Stadium==
===Tottenham Marshes===
Tottenham played their first matches at Tottenham Marshes on the public pitches available and remained there for six years. It was at this ground that Spurs first played their arch rivals Arsenal (then known as Woolwich Arsenal) in which Spurs were winning 2-1 until the match got called off due to poor light after the away team arrived late.<ref> {{cite web |url=http://www.topspurs.com/thfc-november.htm |publisher=topspurs.com |title=A Month in the Illustrious History of Spurs: November |author=Logan Holmes }}</ref> There were occasions on which fights which broke out on the marshes, in dispute of the teams that were allowed to use the best pitches. Crowds were increasing and a new site was needed to cater for these fans.
===Northumberland Park===
In 1898 the club moved from the marshes to Northumberland Park and charged an admission fee of 3[[British one penny coin (pre-decimal)|d]]. They only remained at this ground for a year as in April 1899 14,000 fans turned up to watch Spurs play Woolwich Arsenal. The ground was no longer able to cope with the larger crowds and Tottenham Hotspur were forced to move to a new larger site. They moved 100 yards down the road to their current ground.
===White Hart Lane===
:''Main article: [[White Hart Lane]]''
White Hart Lane was originally a disused nursery owned by a brewery and was located behind a [[public house]]. The landlord realised the increased revenues he could enjoy if Tottenham played their matches behind his pub and the club moved in. They brought with them the terrace they used at Northumberland Park which gave shelter to 2,500 fans. Notts County were the first visitors to 'the Lane' in a friendly watched by 5,000 people and bringing in £115 in receipts, Spurs won 4-1. QPR became the first competitive visitors to the ground and 11,000 people saw them lose 1-0 to Tottenham.
In 1905 Tottenham raised enough money to buy the [[freehold]] to the land and became the permanent owners of the ground. As the club grew new stands were added. A new main stand was added in 1909, the East stand was also covered this year and extended further two years later. The profits from the 1921 FA Cup win were used to build a covered terrace at the Paxton Road end and the Park Lane end was built at a cost of over £3,000 some two years later. This increased the WHL capacity to around 58,000 with room for 40,000 under cover. The East Stand development was finishing in 1934 which increased the capacity to around 80,000 spectators and cost £60,000. The pitch was renovated in 1952 which uncovered a number of items from the old nursary on the site and one year later the first floodlights were introduced. These lights were upgraded in 1957 which required the cockerel to be moved from the West Stand to the East and then in 1961 [[Floodlights (sport)|floodlight]] pylons were installed.
The East Stand was replaced by a cripplingly expensive (and far behind schedule) new structure and the stadium started its long modernisation process. Various developments and upgrades were implemented over the years and in 1992 the lower terraces of the south and east stand were converted to seating and the whole of the North stand followed to become all-seater the following season. The South Stand re-development was completed in March 1995 and included the first giant [[Sony]] [[Jumbotron]] TV screen for live game coverage and away match screenings. The capacity of the stadium increased to just over 33,000. In 1997/98 season the Paxton Road stand had a new upper tier added which included the second Jumbotron screen and increased capacity to 36,240 and was funded by a [[rights issue]] in 1996.<ref>[http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/stadium/stadium_history.html tottenhamhotspur.com] - Stadium History </ref>
===Future plans===
Tottenham are known to be looking at improving the capacity of their stadium but no firm plans have been made on whether this will involve redeveloping White Hart Lane or a move to a new stadium. The owners of Spurs have made it clear that they would first concentrate on building the first team squad and Academy before concentrating on the stadium. Tottenham have been rumoured in recent years to leave WHL due to the poor infrastructure and transport links in the area which appear to be the main reason no redevelopment has occurred since the north stand was redeveloped in the 1997/98 season.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/t/tottenham_hotspur/1861997.stm bbc.co.uk] - Spurs' White Hart Lane threat</ref> With the [[2012 Olympics]] awarded to London Spurs were initially said to be interested in moving to the athletics stadium. Spurs however denied this as it would involve leaving a running track around the pitch,<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/t/tottenham_hotspur/6056714.stm bbc.co.uk] - Spurs ruled out a 2012 stadium move</ref> and also the [[Mayor of London]] and Olympic planning committee said they did not want either team to use the stadium.

[[Image:Tottenham Hotspur crest.png|thumb|right|100px|Spurs badge 1983-2006]]
Since the [[1901]] [[FA Cup]] final the Tottenham Hotspur crest has featured a [[cockerel]]. [[Harry Hotspur]] (from whom the club is said to take its name) was famed for his riding [[spur]]s and [[Cockfight|fighting cocks]] were fitted with spurs which can be seen in the crests.<ref>[http://www.mehstg.com/faqs.htm mehstg.com] - frequently asked questions on Spurs. November 22, 2006</ref> In 1909 a former player named William James Scott made a bronze cast of a cockerel standing on a football to be placed on top of the [[White Hart Lane|West Stand]] and since then the cockerel and ball have been the major part of the club's identity.<ref>[http://football.guardian.co.uk/theknowledge/story/0,13854,1559878,00.html guardian.co.uk] - Explaining original club crest. August 31, 2005</ref>
Between 1956 and 2006 the Spurs used a coat of arms featuring a number of landmarks and associations linked to local area. The lions flanking the shield came from the Northumberland family's arms. They owned large areas of Tottenham and [[Sir Henry Percy]] (Harry Hotspur) was a family member. The castle alludes to [[Bruce Castle]] located 400 yards from the ground and which now houses a museum. The trees are those of [[Seven Sisters, London|Seven Sisters]] which were planted at Page Green by the Seven Sisters of Tottenham and after whom a [[Seven Sisters railway station|railway]]/[[Seven Sisters tube station|tube station]] and [[Seven Sisters Road|main road]] are named. The arms featured the Latin motto "Audere Est Facere".
In 1983 to overcome unauthorised "pirate" merchandising the club's badge was altered by adding the two red lions as heraldic and the motto scroll. This device appeared on most Spurs' playing kits for the next 23 years.
To [[rebrand]] and modernise the club's image, in 2006 both this club badge and the coat of arms gave way to a professionally-designed [[logo]]/emblem.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/t/tottenham_hotspur/4628886.stm bbc.co.uk] - News on the new crest from the BBC. January 19, 2006</ref> This revamp features a leaner/fitter cockerel and an old-time football together with the club name. The club claims that the rebranding kept much of the original meaning of the name, and emphasized its originality.<ref>[http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/news/view_archived_article.html?art_id=1184 tottenhamhotspur.com] - Unveiled new club badge.

==Kit==
The first proper Tottenham kit was a navy blue shirt and shorts after the first season did not have a specific design.<ref>[http://www.rivals.net/default.asp?sid=897&p=2&stid=8384197 Rivals.net] - Kit History</ref> In 1884 the club changed to a kit like that of [[Blackburn Rovers]], whom the team saw win their second consecutive FA cup final after cancelling their last fixture of the season.<ref>[http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Tottenham_Hotspur/Tottenham_Hotspur.htm Historical Kits - Tottenham Hotspur]</ref> Shortly after moving to Northumberland Road the kit changed to red shirt and blue shorts. Five years later after becoming a professional club they switched to a chocolate and gold kit (colours which made a re-appearance as the 2006-2007 third choice/UEFA Cup away kit). At the end of the 19th century the club switched colours again to the white shirts and blue shorts for which they are now well known for wearing, hence the nickname "The Lilywhites". This colour choice is thought to be in reference to [[Preston North End]] who were the most successful club at that time. The kit has remained in these colours ever since, although varying amounts of blue have been added to the shirt and sleeves. Sometime after the First World War the cockeral was added to the shirt. In the 1939 season numbers first appeared on the reverse of the shirts and [[Holsten]] became the first sponsor on a Spurs shirt in 1983. When [[Thomson Holidays|Thomson]] was chosen as kit sponsor in 2002 there was an outcry from a number of Tottenham fans as the logo on the front was red, the colour of Tottenham's biggest rivals Arsenal.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/t/tottenham_hotspur/1925316.stm BBC.co.uk]- Spurs fans see red over logo</ref>

Tottenham's traditional colours of white shirts and navy blue shorts are now long established, with the change strips, being all yellow, navy or sky blue, reflecting the older shirts. In their 2006/07 [[UEFA Cup]] campaign, Spurs wore an all white strip, as they have done in their previous European campaigns. Also in memory of an older strip, Spurs don an all-chocolate kit as their alternate colours.
Four kits for the 2007-08 season were released on May 12th 2007(12-5). These mark the 125 years of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club.[http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/news/articles/kitlaunch120507.htm] Spurs will wear an all white kit for all home league matches except that closest to the founding anniversary date of September 30th 2007, when a special commemorative blue and white shirt (recalling their 1884-86 kit) will be worn. The second kit will be all navy blue, and the third kit will be all yellow. These two kits will feature the logo of Mansion Casinos in Chinese characters to honour the Spurs international markets.
==Ownership==
Since 2001 the key shareholder has been ENIC, an investment company established by the British billionaire [[Joseph Lewis (British)|Joseph Lewis]]. Daniel Levy, Lewis's partner at ENIC, is Executive Chairman of the club. In June 2007 ENIC International increased its holding to 66% by purchasing former chairman Alan Sugar's remaining 12% holding. <ref>[http://www.football365.com/story/0,17033,8652_2173819,00.html ENIC AGREE TO BUY SUGAR SHARES], ''football365.com'', [[7 June]] 2007.</ref>It is widely believed by fans, players and management, that Levy has played a significant part in the club's turnaround, not least through the acquisition of players and of current Head Coach, Martin Jol. [[Stelios Haji-Ioannou]] has 9 per cent through ''Hodram Inc''.{{Fact|date=June 2007}}<!--It is quite likely that this is out of date. Before this edit the article had ENIC's stake at 29.8%, when it was already 54% before the June 2007 purchase.-->
==Social responsibility==
Spurs are in the forefront among British football clubs in developing social and community programmes.<ref>[http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/foundation/news/foundationnews_haringeymultisportsummercoachingprogramme.html tottenhamhotspur.com] - HARINGEY MULTI-SPORT SUMMER COACHING PROGRAMME</ref> The '''Tottenham Hotspur Foundation''' is unique amongst Premiership clubs and received the highest level of political support when it was launched.<ref> [http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/foundation/news/tottenhamhotspurfoundationreceivesstrongpoliticalbacking.html tottenhamhotspur.com] - Tottenham Hotspur Foundation receives strong political backing</ref> In recent years Tottenham has contributed over forty times more to charity than the next largest Premier League donor.<ref>[http://football.guardian.co.uk/breakingnews/feedstory/0,,-6509239,00.html guardian.co.uk]</ref> In March 2007 the Club announced a partnership with the charity [[SOS Children's Villages UK]].<ref>[http://www.soschildrensvillages.org.uk/charity-news/tottenham-sos-partnership-270307.htm soschildrensvillages.org.uk]</ref> Player fines will go towards this charity’s children’s village in Rustenburg, South Africa with the funds being used to cover the running costs as well as in support of a variety of community development projects in and around Rustenburg.
==Tottenham Hotspur ladies==
Tottenham's ladies team was founded in 1985 as Broxbourne Ladies. They started using the Tottenham Hotspur name for the 1991/1992 season and play in the South-East & London Regional Women's League (the fourth tier of the game). The U12s won the London FA Youth Cup in 2007
==Support==
Tottenham have a large fanbase, drawn largely from North London and the [[Home Counties]], with home matches traditionally attracting high attendances in the thousands. In several seasons during the 1950s and 1960s, Tottenham had the highest average attendance in England.<ref>{{cite web | title=Attendances archive: England| url=http://www.european-football-statistics.co.uk/attn/archive/aveeng50.htm|work=European Football Statistics| accessmonthday = October 26 | accessyear=2006}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | title=Attendances archive: England| url=http://www.european-football-statistics.co.uk/attn/archive/aveeng60.htm|work=European Football Statistics| accessmonthday = October 26 | accessyear=2006}}</ref> In the 2005-06 season, Tottenham has the third largest average attendance in London.
==="Yid Army"===
The club has a reputation, sometimes mockingly referred to by rival supporters, of having a large Jewish following and this has led to some Tottenham supporters ironically referring to themselves as [[Yid]]s, a nickname derived from the [[Yiddish]] word for "Jews" and sometimes used by [[gentiles]] as a pejorative term of abuse. Whilst the epithet Yid was originally used as an [[Anti-Semitism|anti-semitic]] provocation by opposition fans it was in the 1960s taken over by some Spurs fans in order to lessen its impact. A small element among the Tottenham crowd (probably in fact almost entirely not Jews themselves), developed related bonding chants such as "Yiddos!","Yid Army!" and "Who Let The Yids Out, Who, Who, Who" . These are still commonly used today and the wearing of "Yid" as a badge of pride has effectively defused its use as an insult.
It is debatable whether, given the fact that Tottenham Hotspur's fan base is largely non-Jewish, the use of the word 'Yid' in this context is still acceptable but most Spurs supporters, whether Jewish or not, find it inoffensive and mildly amusing. The term 'Yid', as used by a Spurs supporter, has, for the vast majority of supporters, no anti-Semitic connotation and it is now simply part of the Tottenham sub-culture. Some people not used to hearing the word used in this way may find it offensive, but genuine supporters usually try to explain to them that it is really an ironic term of endearment – and, importantly, that its use by Spurs fans has stopped its use as real racial abuse by rival supporters.
A meeting took place on [[19 March]] [[2007]], and was attended by representatives of the "Kick It Out" campaign, the club, its supporters' trust, the Community Security Trust, a Jewish community organisation, the Football Association, and the Premier League to discuss the use of the word 'Yid' inside White Hart Lane stadium.
A [[Ajax Amsterdam#References to Jews|similar situation]] exists as regards fans of [[Ajax Amsterdam|Ajax]], a team from [[Amsterdam]].
