The team have played their home matches in the [[Tottenham Hotspur Stadium]] since 2019, replacing their former home of [[White Hart Lane]], which had been demolished to make way for the new stadium on the same site.
Founded in 1882, Tottenham Hotspur's [[emblem]] is a [[Cockfight|cockerel]] standing upon a football, with the Latin [[motto]] ''Audere est Facere'' ("to dare is to do"). The team have traditionally worn white shirts and navy blue shorts as their home kit since the 1898–99 season. Their training ground is on Hotspur Way in [[Bulls Cross]], [[Enfield, London|Enfield]]. After its inception, Tottenham won the [[FA Cup]] for the first time in [[1900–01 FA Cup|1901]], the only [[non-League football|non-League]] club to do so since the formation of [[English Football League|the Football League]] in 1888. Tottenham was the first club in the 20th century to achieve the [[Double (association football)#England|League and FA Cup Double]], winning both competitions in the [[1960–61 in English football|1960–61 season]]. After successfully defending the FA Cup in 1962, in 1963 they became the first British club to win a [[UEFA]] club competition – the [[UEFA Cup Winners' Cup|European Cup Winners' Cup]].<ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/t/tottenham_hotspur/3757030.stm |title=Tottenham legend Nicholson dies |publisher=BBC Sport |date=23 October 2004 |access-date=17 August 2010 |archive-date=16 January 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090116035602/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/t/tottenham_hotspur/3757030.stm |url-status=live}}</ref> They were also the inaugural winners of the [[UEFA Europa League|UEFA Cup]] in 1972, becoming the first British club to win two different major European trophies.

In domestic football, Spurs have won two [[List of English football champions|league titles]], eight FA Cups, four [[EFL Cup|League Cup]]s, and seven [[FA Community Shield]]s. In European football, they have won one [[UEFA Cup Winners' Cup|European Cup Winners' Cup]] and two [[UEFA Europa League|UEFA Cup]]s. Tottenham were also runners-up in the [[2018–19 UEFA Champions League]]. They have a long-standing rivalry with nearby club [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]], with whom they contest the [[North London derby]], as well as a contested [[Chelsea F.C.–Tottenham Hotspur F.C. rivalry|rivalry]] with [[Chelsea F.C.|Chelsea]]. Tottenham is owned by [[ENIC Group]], which purchased the club in 2001. The club was estimated to be [[Forbes' list of the most valuable football clubs|worth]] £2.6 billion ($3.2 billion) in 2024, and it was the [[Deloitte Football Money League|ninth-highest-earning]] football club in the world, with an annual revenue of £615 million in 2024.<ref>{{Cite web |title=#9 Tottenham Hotspur |url=https://www.forbes.com/teams/tottenham-hotspur/?sh=1eb52792453e |access-date=27 May 2024 |work=Forbes |archive-date=28 February 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240228015220/https://www.forbes.com/teams/tottenham-hotspur/?sh=1eb52792453e |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Deloitte Football Money League 2025 |url=https://www.deloitte.com/uk/en/services/financial-advisory/analysis/deloitte-football-money-league.html |website=Deloitte United Kingdom |date=23 January 2025 |access-date=6 February 2025 |language=en-gb |archive-date=31 January 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250131095710/https://www.deloitte.com/uk/en/services/financial-advisory/analysis/deloitte-football-money-league.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

Originally named '''Hotspur Football Club''', the club was formed on 5 September 1882 by a group of schoolboys led by [[Bobby Buckle]]. They were members of the Hotspur Cricket Club and the football club was formed to play sports during the winter months.{{sfn|Cloake|Fisher|2016|loc=Chapter 1: A crowd walked across the muddy fields to watch the Hotspur play}} A year later the boys sought help with the club from John Ripsher, the Bible class teacher at [[All Hallows' Church, Tottenham|All Hallows Church]], who became the first president of the club and its treasurer. Ripsher helped and supported the boys through the club's formative years, reorganised and found premises for the club.{{sfn|The Tottenham & Edmonton Herald|1921|p=[http://www.spurshistory.com/pages/8.htm 5]}}<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/news/john-ripsher-240907/ |title=John Ripsher |date=24 September 2007 |website=Tottenham Hotspur Football Club |access-date=3 July 2018 |archive-date=30 June 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180630161919/http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/news/john-ripsher-240907/ |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last=Spencer|first=Nicholas|date=24 September 2007 |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/2321886/Why-Tottenham-Hotspur-owe-it-all-to-a-pauper.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220110/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/2321886/Why-Tottenham-Hotspur-owe-it-all-to-a-pauper.html |archive-date=10 January 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live |title=Why Tottenham Hotspur owe it all to a pauper|work=The Telegraph |access-date=30 June 2018}}{{cbignore}}</ref> In April 1884 the club was renamed "Tottenham Hotspur Football Club" to avoid confusion with another London club named [[Hotspur F.C.

The first recorded match took place on 30 September 1882 against a local team named the Radicals, which Hotspur lost 2–0.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/news/potted-history-081104/ |title=Potted History |publisher=Tottenham Hotspur Football Club |date=8 November 2004 |access-date=30 June 2018 |archive-date=29 June 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180629235733/http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/news/potted-history-081104/ |url-status=live}}</ref> The team entered their first cup competition in the London Association Cup, and won 5–2 in their first competitive match on 17 October 1885 against a company's works team called St Albans.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.topspurs.com/thfc-history-timeline.htm |title=Tottenham Hotspur – Complete History |website=TOPSPURS.COM |access-date=30 June 2018 |archive-date=20 January 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190120181453/http://www.topspurs.com/thfc-history-timeline.htm |url-status=live}}</ref> The club's fixtures began to attract the interest of the local community and attendances at its home matches increased. In 1892, they played for the first time in a league, the short-lived [[Southern Alliance]].{{sfn|Welch|2015|loc=Chapter 3: Moneyball}}
The club turned professional on 20 December 1895 and, in the summer of 1896, was admitted to Division One of the [[Southern Football League|Southern League]] (the third tier at the time). On 2 March 1898, the club also became a limited company, the Tottenham Hotspur Football and Athletic Company.{{sfn|Welch|2015|loc=Chapter 3: Moneyball}} Soon after, [[Frank Brettell]] became the first ever manager of Spurs, and he signed [[John Cameron (footballer, born 1872)|John Cameron]], who took over as player-manager when Brettell left a year later. Cameron would have a significant impact on Spurs, helping the club win its first trophy, the [[Southern Football League|Southern League]] title in the [[1899–1900 Southern Football League|1899–1900 season]].{{sfn|The Tottenham & Edmonton Herald|1921|p=[http://www.spurshistory.com/pages/34.htm 28]}} The following year Spurs won the [[1900–01 FA Cup|1901 FA Cup]] by beating [[Sheffield United F.C.|Sheffield United]] 3–1 in a [[1901 FA Cup Final|replay of the final]], after the first game ended in a 2–2 draw.

===Early decades in the Football League (1908–1958)===
In 1908, the club was elected into the [[Football League Second Division]] and won promotion to the [[Football League First Division|First Division]] in their first season, finishing runners-up. In 1912, [[Peter McWilliam]] became manager; Tottenham finished bottom of the league at the end of the [[1914–15 in English football|1914–15]] season when football was suspended due to the [[World War I|First World War]]. Spurs were relegated to the Second Division on the resumption of league football after the war, but quickly returned to the First Division as Second Division champions of the [[1919–20 in English football|1919–20 season]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://ahalftimereport.com/2016/07/19/peter-mcwilliam-the-tottenham-boss-who-created-legends/ |title=Peter McWilliam: The Tottenham Boss Who Created Legends |date=19 July 2016 |work=A Halftime Report |access-date=30 June 2018 |archive-date=9 April 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220409105745/https://ahalftimereport.com/2016/07/19/peter-mcwilliam-the-tottenham-boss-who-created-legends/ |url-status=live}}</ref>
[[File:ArthurGrimsdell.jpg|thumb|upright=0.75|Spurs captain [[Arthur Grimsdell]] displaying the cup to fans on [[Tottenham High Road]] after the 1921 final]]
On 23 April 1921, McWilliam guided Spurs to their second FA Cup win, beating [[Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C.|Wolverhampton Wanderers]] 1–0 in the [[1921 FA Cup Final|Cup Final]]. Spurs finished second to [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]] in the league in [[1921–22 in English football|1922]], but would finish mid-table in the next five seasons. Spurs were relegated in the [[1927–28 in English football|1927–28 season]] after McWilliam left. For most of the 1930s and 1940s, Spurs languished in the Second Division, apart from a brief return to the top flight in the [[1933–34 in English football|1933–34]] and [[1934–35 in English football|1934–35]] seasons.{{sfn|Welch|2015|loc=Chapter 8: Spurs Shot Themselves in the Foot}}
Former Spurs player [[Arthur Rowe]] became manager in 1949. Rowe developed a style of play, known as "[[push and run]]", that proved to be successful in his early years as manager.

As they played on public parkland, the club could not charge admission fees and, while the number of spectators grew to a few thousand, it yielded no gate receipts. In 1888, the club rented a pitch between numbers 69 and 75 Northumberland Park<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/the-club/history/white-hart-lane/ |title=Tottenham hotspur FC |author=<!--Not stated--> |website=Tottenham Hotspur |access-date=28 January 2020 |archive-date=7 August 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200807013843/https://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/the-club/history/white-hart-lane/ |url-status=live }}</ref> at a cost of £17 per annum, where spectators were charged [[Threepence (British coin)|3d]] a game, raised to 6d for cup ties.{{sfn|Cloake|Fisher|2016|loc=Chapter 2: Enclosure Changed the Game Forever }} The first game at the Park was played on 13 October 1888, a reserve match that yielded gate receipts of 17 shillings.

However, the stand was blown down a few weeks later and had to be repaired.{{sfn|The Tottenham & Edmonton Herald|1921|pp=22–23}} In April 1898, 14,000 fans turned up to watch Spurs play Woolwich Arsenal. Spectators climbed on the roof of the refreshment stand for a better view of the match. The stand collapsed, causing a few injuries. As Northumberland Park could no longer cope with the larger crowds, Spurs looked for a larger ground and moved to the White Hart Lane site in 1899.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/tottenham-hotspur-spurs-white-hart-lane-farewell-goodbye-diego-maradon-johan-cruyff-a7733846.html|title=White Hart Lane has seen Diego Maradona and Johan Cruyff, but after 118 years Tottenham have outgrown it|first=Martin|last=Cloake|date=13 May 2017|work=The Independent|access-date=30 June 2018|archive-date=21 June 2022|archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220621/https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/tottenham-hotspur-spurs-white-hart-lane-farewell-goodbye-diego-maradon-johan-cruyff-a7733846.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

The White Hart Lane ground was built on an unused [[plant nursery]] owned by the [[Charrington Brewery]] and located behind a [[public house]] named the White Hart on Tottenham High Road (the road White Hart Lane actually lies a few hundred yards north of the main entrance). The ground was initially leased from Charringtons, and the stands they used at Northumberland Park were moved here, giving shelter for 2,500 spectators.<ref name="stadium history">{{cite web|url=http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/the-stadium/history/|title=History of White Hart Lane|publisher=Tottenham Hotspur Football Club Official Website|access-date=30 June 2018|archive-date=2 December 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161202050413/http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/the-stadium/history/|url-status=live}}</ref> [[Notts County F.C.|Notts County]] were the first visitors to 'the Lane' in a friendly watched by 5,000 people and yielding £115 in receipts; Spurs won 4–1.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/news/spurs-v-notts-county-1899-030804/ |title=Spurs v Notts County 1899 |date=3 August 2004 |publisher=Tottenham Hotspur Football Club |access-date=30 June 2018 |archive-date=30 June 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180630055739/http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/news/spurs-v-notts-county-1899-030804/ |url-status=live }}</ref> [[Queens Park Rangers F.C.|Queens Park Rangers]] became the first competitive visitors to the ground and 11,000 people saw them lose 1–0 to Tottenham.

[[File:White Hart Lane Jan 2008.jpg|thumb|upright=0.75|left|Since 1909, Tottenham have displayed the statue of a cockerel, first made in bronze by a former player.]]
After Spurs were admitted to the Football League, the club started to build a new stadium, with stands designed by [[Archibald Leitch]] being constructed over the next two and a half decades. The West 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 stadium's capacity to around 58,000, with room for 40,000 under cover. The East Stand (Worcester Avenue) was finished in 1934 and this increased capacity to around 80,000 spectators and cost £60,000.<ref name="stadium history"/>
[[File:White Hart Lane Aerial.jpg|thumb|upright=1|Aerial image of [[White Hart Lane]]. Redevelopment of this stadium began in early 1980s and completed in the late 1990s.]]
Starting in the early 1980s, the stadium underwent another major phase of redevelopment. The West Stand was replaced by an expensive new structure in 1982, and the East Stand was renovated in 1988. In 1992, following the [[Taylor Report]]'s recommendation that Premier League clubs eliminate standing areas, the lower terraces of the south and east stand were converted to seating, with the North Stand becoming all-seater the following season. The South Stand redevelopment was completed in March 1995 and included the first giant [[Sony]] [[Jumbotron]] TV screen for live game coverage and away match screenings.<ref name="stadium history2">{{cite web |url=http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/news/stadium-history-070704/ |title=Stadium History |date=7 July 2004 |publisher=Tottenham Hotspur Football Club |access-date=1 July 2018 |archive-date=1 July 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180701140241/http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/news/stadium-history-070704/ |url-status=live }}</ref> In the 1997–98 season the Paxton Road stand received a new upper tier and a second Jumbotron screen.<ref name="stadium history2"/> Minor amendments to the seating configuration were made in 2006, bringing the capacity of the stadium to 36,310.<ref name="stadium history"/>
By the turn of the millennium, the capacity of White Hart Lane had become lower than other major Premier League clubs. Talks began over the future of the ground with a number of schemes considered, such as increasing the stadium capacity through redevelopment of the current site, or using of the [[Olympic Stadium (London)|2012 London Olympic Stadium]] in [[Stratford, London|Stratford]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.spurs1882.org/misc/WHL_EastStand2001_PlanningStatement.pdf |title=Proposed New East Stand Redevelopment for Tottenham Hotspur Football Club |date=June 2001 |work=Spurs Since 1882 |access-date=30 June 2018 |archive-date=16 August 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170816121006/http://www.spurs1882.org/misc/WHL_EastStand2001_PlanningStatement.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="ley">{{cite news |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/tottenham-hotspur/8036137/Tottenham-interested-in-making-London-2012-Olympic-Stadium-their-new-ground.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220110/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/tottenham-hotspur/8036137/Tottenham-interested-in-making-London-2012-Olympic-Stadium-their-new-ground.html |archive-date=10 January 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live |title=Tottenham interested in making London 2012 Olympic Stadium their new ground |first= John |last=Ley|date=1 October 2010|work=The Daily Telegraph |access-date=30 June 2018}}{{cbignore}}</ref> Eventually the club settled on the [[Northumberland Development Project]], whereby a new stadium would be built on a larger piece of land that incorporated the existing site.

==Crest==
[[File:Tottenham Hotspur old logo.png|thumb|upright|Between 1956 and 2006, the club crest featured a heraldic shield, displaying a number of local landmarks and associations.]]
[[File:Spurs 2017 badge.svg|thumb|alt=|upright|This crest is from the 2017–18 season which is when the club reintroduced the shield. It was similar in design to the one introduced in the 1950s before the change to the 1956 shield.]]
Since the [[1921 FA Cup Final]], the Tottenham Hotspur [[Crest (heraldry)|crest]] has featured a [[cockerel]]. [[Henry Percy (Hotspur)|Harry Hotspur]], after whom the club is named, was said to have been given the nickname Hotspur as he dug in his spurs to make his horse go faster as he charged in battles,<ref name="insall">{{cite web |url=http://www.planningservices.haringey.gov.uk/portal/servlets/AttachmentShowServlet?ImageName=748708 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190607025316/http://www.planningservices.haringey.gov.uk/portal/servlets/AttachmentShowServlet?ImageName=748708 |url-status=dead |archive-date=7 June 2019 |title=Northumberland Development Project |date=September 2015 |work=Haringey Council |author=Donald Insall Associates |access-date=30 June 2018 }}</ref> and spurs are also associated with [[Cockfight|fighting cocks]].<ref name=tour>{{cite book |title=The Stadium Tour Experience |pages=32–33 |publisher=Vision Sports Publishing Ltd.}}</ref> The club used [[spur]]s as a symbol in 1900, which then evolved into a fighting cock.<ref name="insall"/> A former player named William James Scott made a bronze cast of a cockerel standing on a football at a cost of £35 ({{inflation|UK|35|1909|fmt=eq|cursign=£|r=-1}}), and this {{convert|9|ft|6|in|adj=on}} figure was then placed on top of the [[White Hart Lane|West Stand]] at the end of the 1909–10 season.<ref name="insall"/> Since then the cockerel and ball emblem has become a part of the club's identity.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2005/aug/31/theknowledge.sport |title=The most unlikely football bet to come off |author=James Dart |work=The Guardian |date=31 August 2005 |access-date=1 March 2013 |archive-date=19 September 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140919093013/http://www.theguardian.com/football/2005/aug/31/theknowledge.sport |url-status=live }}</ref> The club badge on the shirt used in 1921 featured a cockerel within a shield, but it was changed to a cockerel sitting on a ball in the late 1960s.<ref name=tour />
Between 1956 and 2006 Spurs used a faux [[heraldic shield]] featuring a number of local landmarks and associations. The castle is [[Bruce Castle]], 400 yards from the ground and the trees are the [[Seven Sisters, London|Seven Sisters]]. The arms featured the Latin motto ''Audere Est Facere'' (to dare is to do).<ref name="historickits"/>
In 1983, to overcome unauthorised [[copyright infringement|"pirate"]] merchandising, the club's badge was altered by adding the two red [[supporter|heraldic lions]] to flank the shield (which came from the arms of the Northumberland family, of which Harry Hotspur was a member), as well as the [[motto|motto scroll]]. This device appeared on Spurs' playing kits for three seasons 1996–99.
In 2006, in order to [[rebrand]] and modernise the club's image, the club badge and coat of arms were replaced by a professionally designed logo/emblem.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/t/tottenham_hotspur/4628886.stm |title=Tottenham unveil new club badge |publisher=BBC |date=19 January 2006 |access-date=1 March 2013 |archive-date=12 January 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160112231150/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/t/tottenham_hotspur/4628886.stm |url-status=live }}</ref> This revamp displayed a sleeker and more elegant cockerel standing on an old-time football.

In 2017, Spurs added a shield around the cockerel logo on the shirts similar to the 1950s badge, but with the cockerel of modern design.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Nike Tottenham Hotspur 17–18 Home Kit Released |url=https://www.footyheadlines.com/2017/01/nike-tottenham-17-18-kit.html |access-date=2022-03-25 |website=Footy Headlines |archive-date=4 July 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220704123742/https://www.footyheadlines.com/2017/01/nike-tottenham-17-18-kit.html |url-status=live }}</ref> The shield was however removed the following season.

Their kit changed again to red shirt and blue shorts in 1890, and for a time the team were known as 'the Tottenham Reds'.{{sfn|Shakeshaft|Burney|Evans|2018|pages=24–25}} Five years later in 1895, the year they became a professional club, they switched to a chocolate and gold striped kit.<ref name="historickits">{{cite web |url=http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Tottenham_Hotspur/Tottenham_Hotspur.htm |title=Historical Kits – Tottenham Hotspur |work=historicalkits.co.uk |publisher=Historic Football Kits |access-date=1 March 2013 |archive-date=30 March 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190330075333/http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Tottenham_Hotspur/Tottenham_Hotspur.htm |url-status=live }}</ref>
In the [[1898–99 in English football|1898–99 season]], their final year at Northumberland Park, the club switched colours to white shirts and blue shorts, same colour choice as that for [[Preston North End F.C.|Preston North End]].{{sfn|Shakeshaft|Burney|Evans|2018|page=26}} White and navy blue have remained as the club's basic colours ever since, with the white shirts giving the team the nickname "The Lilywhites".<ref>{{cite web |url=https://premierskillsenglish.britishcouncil.org/clubs/tottenham-hotspur |title=Tottenham Hotspur |work=Premier Skill English |access-date=5 July 2018 |date=3 March 2016 |archive-date=5 July 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180705205622/https://premierskillsenglish.britishcouncil.org/clubs/tottenham-hotspur |url-status=live }}</ref> In 1921, the year they won the FA Cup, the cockerel badge was added to the shirt for the final.

In the early days, the team played in kits sold by local outfitters. An early supplier of Spurs' jerseys recorded was a firm on [[Seven Sisters Road]], HR Brookes.{{sfn|Cloake|Fisher|2016|loc=Chapter 2: Enclosure Changed the Game Forever }} In the 1920s, [[Bukta]] produced the jerseys for the club. From the mid-1930s onwards, [[Umbro]] was the supplier for forty years. In 1959, the V-neck shirt replaced the collared shirts of the past, and then in 1963, the crew neck shirt appeared (the style has fluctuated since).{{sfn|Shakeshaft|Burney|Evans|2018|pages=32, 52}} In 1961, Bill Nicholson sent Spurs players out to play in white instead of navy shorts for their European campaign, starting a tradition which continues to this day in European competitions.{{sfn|Shakeshaft|Burney|Evans|2018|pages=46–49}}
In 1977, a deal was signed with [[Admiral (sportswear)|Admiral]] to supply the team their kits. Although Umbro kits in generic colours had been sold to football fans since 1959, it was with the Admiral deal that the market for replica shirts started to take off.{{sfn|Shakeshaft|Burney|Evans|2018|pages=80–82}} Admiral changed the plain colours of earlier strips to shirts with more elaborate designs, which included manufacturer's logos, stripes down the arms and trims on the edges.{{sfn|Shakeshaft|Burney|Evans|2018|pages=80–82}} Admiral was replaced by [[Le Coq Sportif]] in the summer of 1980.{{sfn|Shakeshaft|Burney|Evans|2018|page=85}} In 1985,

===Fan culture===
There are a number of songs associated with the club and frequently sung by Spurs fans, such as "[[Glory Glory (football chant)|Glory Glory Tottenham Hotspur]]". The song originated in 1961 after Spurs completed the [[Double (association football)|Double]] in [[1960–61 Tottenham Hotspur F.C. season|1960–61]], and the club entered the [[UEFA Champions League|European Cup]] for the first time. Their first opponents were [[Górnik Zabrze]], the Polish champions, and after a hard-fought match Spurs suffered a 4–2 reverse. Tottenham's tough tackling prompted the Polish press to write that "they were no angels". These comments incensed a group of three fans and for the return match at White Hart Lane they dressed as angels wearing white sheets fashioned into [[togas]], sandals, false beards and carrying placards bearing [[biblical]]-type slogans. The angels were allowed on the perimeter of the pitch and their fervour whipped up the home fans who responded with a rendition of "[[Glory Glory (football chant)|Glory Glory Hallelujah]]", which is still sung on terraces at White Hart Lane and other football grounds.<ref>{{cite web|title=The Glory Glory Nights:The Official Story of Tottenham Hotspur in Europe|url=http://www.newstatesman.com/culture/culture/2012/12/glory-glory-nights-official-story-tottenham-hotspur-europe|website=New Statesman|first=Martin|last=Cloake|access-date=25 February 2016|archive-date=3 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303054543/http://www.newstatesman.com/culture/culture/2012/12/glory-glory-nights-official-story-tottenham-hotspur-europe|url-status=dead}}</ref> The Lilywhites also responded to the atmosphere to win the tie 8–1.

Tottenham supporters have rivalries with several clubs, mainly within the London area. The fiercest of these is with [[North London derby|north London rivals]] Arsenal.
