This week we have Dave, a Spurs fan, come on the pod to chat about his fandom.
Before we speak with him we check in with the England result to see how they got on against Latvia which we previewed last time out.
Here is the usual fact file about the club we'll be following this week...
Tottenham Hotspur FC – Club Overview
Tottenham Hotspur FC, commonly known as Spurs, is a professional football club based in North London, England. Founded in 1882, the club has established itself as one of the most storied teams in English football. Spurs were the first club in the 20th century to achieve the league and FA Cup double, winning both in the 1960-61 season. The club has a strong reputation for playing attacking football and has consistently competed at the highest levels of the English game.
Spurs have won two top-flight league titles (1950-51 and 1960-61), eight FA Cups, and four League Cups. They have also enjoyed success in European competitions, becoming the first British club to win a UEFA trophy when they lifted the European Cup Winners’ Cup in 1963. The club later won two UEFA Cups (now the Europa League) in 1972 and 1984. More recently, Spurs reached the UEFA Champions League final in 2019, finishing as runners-up to Liverpool.
The club's home ground is the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, a state-of-the-art venue that opened in 2019, replacing the historic White Hart Lane. Tottenham has a passionate fanbase and maintains intense rivalries, particularly with Arsenal, in the North London Derby. Over the years, the club has been home to iconic players such as Jimmy Greaves, Glenn Hoddle, Paul Gascoigne, Gary Lineker, Gareth Bale, and Harry Kane. While silverware has been elusive in recent decades, Tottenham remains one of England’s most prominent clubs, frequently competing in European competitions and striving for further success.
