Tottenham Hotspur
Football Club
|
Commonly referred to as Spurs, Tottenham's
home stadium is White Hart Lane, Tottenham,
in the London Borough of Haringey (N17).
Tottenham
were the first club in the 20th century
to achieve the League and FA Cup Double,
winning both competitions in the 1960-61
season.
In 1963, Spurs became the first British
club to win a major European trophy
- the European Cup Winners' Cup.

In
the 1980s, Spurs won several trophies: the
FA Cup twice, FA Community Shield and the
UEFA Cup 1983-84.
In addition, they are the current Football
League Cup holders, beating Chelsea 2-1
in extra time. This victory means that Tottenham
have won a trophy in each of the last six
decades - an achievement only matched by
Manchester United.
Tottenham are currently seeking a larger
stadium. This may involve expanding White
Hart Lane or moving to a new site. The club
stated in 2007 that it will announce its
preferred option in the first half of 2008.
In April 2008 it was revealed in the press
that investigations were taking place into
the possible use of the adjacent Wingate
industrial estate. If planning permission
and the agreement of the current businesses
there was granted, a 55-60,000 seat stadium
could be constructed on
the site.
