History Milestones
1882 – 1901: Club’s Foundation And Early Years
Tottenham Hotspur Football Club was founded in 1882 by the members of Hotspur Cricket Club. Their Bible class teacher, John Ripsher, became the first president of the club.
The team was initially named Hotspur Football Club and renamed Tottenham Hotspur Football Club in 1884 to avoid having the same name with another London club called Hotspur.
The club became professional on 20 December 1895 and was admitted to Division One of the Southern League in 1896.
They won their first trophy in the 1899 – 1900 season and became the first non-league team to win the 1901 FA Cup since the formation of The Football League in 1888 by beating Sheffield United.
1908 – 1955: First Steps In The Football League
In 1908, Tottenham Hotspur successfully stepped into the Football League Second Division and quickly won promotion to the First Division in their first season.
In 1912, Peter McWilliam became the team’s manager and led the club to its second FA Cup win on 23 April 1921 against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Cup Final.
In 1949, a former Tottenham player Arthur Rowe took over as manager and developed a play style called “push and run.” It was proven to be successful as the team came back to the First Division after placing first in the Second Division for the 1949 – 1950 season.
Soon after, the team finished top of the First Division for the 1950 – 1951 season and won their first top tier league championship title. Arthur Rowe resigned in April 1955 after signing the most significant player back then, Danny Blanchflower, who won the FWA Footballer of the Year twice while at the club.
1958 – 1973: The Glory Years
In October 1958, Bill Nicholson became Tottenham’s manager and led the team to their glory days with three major successes in a row, including the Double in 1961, the FA Cup in 1962, and the Cup Winners’ Cup in 1963.
Tottenham won the 1962–63 European Cup Winners’ Cup On 15 May 1963 when they beat Atlético Madrid in the final round, making them the first British team to win a European trophy.
They also won the FA Cup in 1967, the UEFA Cup in 1971-1972, and two League Cups in 1971 and 1973. For 16 years of charge as the club manager, Nicholson had led the team to eight major trophies, making him one of the most successful managers of Tottenham.
1974 – 1991: Ups And Downs
After significant successes in the early 1970s, the team went downhill as they had a poor start in the 1974-1975 season. Soon after that, Tottenham was relegated at the end of the 1976-1977 season with Keith Burkinshaw, replacing Bill Nicholson as the club’s new manager.
Burkinshaw quickly rebuilt the team with new foreign players, which was uncommon at that time, and won two FA Cups in 1981 and 1982, and the UEFA Cup in 1984.
He took charge until Terry Venables took over and led the team to their eighth FA Cup in 1990-1991, making Tottenham the first football club to do so.
1992 – Now: The Premier League
Tottenham was one of five clubs that contributed to the foundation of the Premier League, replacing the First Division as the highest division of British football.
Despite that, the team finished most seasons in the middle place until the late 2000s. In the early 2010s, the club regained their position and finished in the top five under Harry Redknapp’s guidance.
In 2014 Mauricio Pochettino became Tottenham’s head coach and helped the team to claim the second place in the 2016-2017 season, which was their highest place in the league since the 1962-1963 season.
They also successfully stepped into the UEFA Champions League final in the 2018-2019 season and became the third club in London to do so. Sadly the team had a poor start in the 2019-2020 season and the club’s chairman had to replace Pochettino with José Mourinho.
