This account has gone quiet mostly because of the excellent work by actual Spurs historians on Bluesky such as Gareth.

His new pod is a great listen and is suitable for old and new Tottenham fans regardless of whether they’ve read his books.

On this Spurs Day in the 90s (ish)…in 2000 despite huge apathy towards the team, manager and chairman we scored 7 against Southampton but no-one left feeling particularly happy!

I set myself a goal at the start of February to celebrate the creations of Spurs fans every day of the month.

No matter what happens with Spurs, football, or the world, the support and love we show each other is ours to control.

Today’s recognition is for the Spurs Bluesky community 🤍

Seems like a good time step up and share this beauty of an ‘OTD’: in 2002 we beat Chelsea 5-1 in a remarkable Worthington Cup semi final second leg: thfcdb.com/matches/2001...

Leicester Fosse would later move from their namesake, Fosse Road, to Filbert Street and eventually change their name to Leicester City in 1919 after financial troubles.

Spurs have drawn 5-5 with two other teams: Huddersfield in 1925 and Aston Villa in 1966. Both were English top flight fixtures.
