Founded in 1882, its main venue is White Hart Lane Stadium in Tottenham, north London. The club motto "Audere est Facere" means "dare to do something". As early as World War I, Tottenham had become sworn enemies with its neighbor Arsenal, and the game between the two teams was the famous "North London Derby".

history

Family portrait of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club

Tottenham Hotspur was the first team to win the League and the FA Cup in the 20th century. It is one of the three teams that can win the FA Cup twice in a row, and it is also the only team that has achieved this result twice. It won the European Cup Winners' Cup with a score of 1963, making it the first team in Britain to win the European championship.

early stage

Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, the predecessor of Tottenham Hotspur, was founded in 1882 by a group of cricketers from St. John Presbyterian School and Tottenham Grammar School. As there is no cricket match in winter, they discuss setting up a football team to keep healthy. The name Hotspur comes from a character named "Harry Hotspur" in Shakespeare's plays. In the play, the "Hosby" family is a noble in North London and owns land in Tottenham. The name "Harry Horsbury" comes from his experience at Tottenham. It is generally believed that the thorn on the cock's foot of the national emblem of Tottenham also has this meaning: the cock used for fighting will also be equipped with sharp thorns. The team was renamed Tottenham Hotspur to distinguish it from a local team named London Hotspur. The first competitive match was 1885 London UEFA Cup 5-2 victory over St. Albans. 1896 Tottenham joined the Southern League. 1899, Tottenham Hotspur moved into Tottenham's new home stadium, named after the owner of the neighbor's bar-"Road to White Deer" stadium. 1900 won the Southern League championship for the first time. They 190 1 won the FA Cup and were the only non-league team in history. They just joined the football league on 1908.

join the Communist Youth League

Tottenham Hotspur was finally admitted to the B League in the 1908-09 season, and then advanced to Group A as the runner-up. However, Tottenham can only fight for relegation in the downstream in Group A. At the end of the 19 14- 15 season, when all football matches were suspended due to World War I, Tottenham came last. After the war, the football game resumed. The League decided to increase the number of teams in Group A to 22, and Chelsea ranked 19 was invited to resume classes. The remaining seats should be Tottenham at the bottom or barnsley in Group B, but neither team was invited. Instead, Arsenal ranked fifth in Group B.. Rumors of conspiracy theories abound, thus deepening the hostility of Tottenham fans to Arsenal. Tottenham Hotspur rose to the first group after winning the second league title in the 19 19-20 season. The following year (192 1), he defeated Wolves wandering at Stamford Bridge and won the FA Cup again.

The twenties and forties

Then, with the FA Cup victory of 192 1, Tottenham experienced nothing for 30 years, while Arsenal became a super team in North London. 192 1-22 season, Tottenham ranked second in the league after Liverpool and advanced to the semi-finals in the FA Cup. Tottenham gradually declined, ranking below 12 in the following five seasons, and even relegated to Group B at 1927-28 until 1933. Later, Tottenham Hotspur was promoted to Group A under the leadership of Percy Smith. At that time, the vanguard group: GS Hunter, Evans and Taffey O'Callaghan scored 75 goals and won the third place in the league. However, Tottenham was relegated again on 1934-35, until Britain announced its participation in World War II on September 3 1939, and Tottenham ranked seventh in Group B.

Evasion and escape in the post-war period.

Tottenham Hotspur struggled in Group B in the early postwar period. It was not until 1949 that Artur Lowe took over the leadership of Tottenham Hotspur. He spent his whole career at Tottenham. He invented a set of "push-and-run" tactics. First, he gave the ball to his teammates, then ran to intercept his opponents and then caught the ball returned by his friends. This tactic makes the players have a smoother rhythm and higher efficiency in the game, and its highly entertaining play has won the appreciation of more fans. Luvi led Tottenham to the Group B championship in his first season. Immediately after being promoted to Group A, it beat Manchester United with 25 wins 19565438 and 7 losses to win the first Group A championship (19565438-1951), becoming the first team to win the Group A and the Group B championships respectively for two consecutive seasons. The champions included alf ramsey (who later led Britain to the 1966 World Cup), bill nicholson (who led Tottenham into our lives), captain Ronnie Beggs, goalkeepers Ted Ditchburn, Karen Dukeming and Sonny Walters. The opponent gradually adapted to Tottenham's "passing" tactics. After winning the runner-up in the league the following year, Tottenham's performance began to decline, and Luvi's health also deteriorated. Finally 1955 retired and was succeeded by Jim Anderson. Tottenham Hotspur spent these days under the leadership of Anderson, waiting for the day when we live, the leader of Bilney Ghosn. ...

Nicholson: The days we live.

Our Days is the most important period in the history of Tottenham Hotspur. When bill nicholson joined Tottenham as an apprentice on 1936, Nicholson devoted himself to the club for the next 68 years, from shoeshine caddy to club president. At present, Nicholson is still the eternal honorary chairman of Tottenham Hotspur, attending every game of Tottenham Hotspur. In recognition of his contribution to Tottenham, the club also changed the address to "bill nicholson Road", and the fans of Tottenham generally hope to return to the "days when we lived" in the era of bill nicholson. Nicholson took over as manager of Tottenham Hotspur in June1958+1October1. On the day of taking over, Tottenham Hotspur 10-4 defeated Everton. From 65438 to the early 1960s, Nicholson led Tottenham to win important championships for three consecutive years, including 196 1 First Division and FA Cup (the team won eleven victories in the opening season of the league, which is still a record), 1962 FA Cup and 1963 European Cup. The main players under Nicholson's early command include: Danny Blanchflower: brilliant captain in 1960s, contemporary world-class right-wing midfielder, full of charisma, commanding teammates on the field, making strategic shifts, and together with Nicholson, creating Tottenham's European style of playing with emphasis on ball control. Dave Mackay: Since blanchard Huaya 1964 retired, he has inherited the captain's armband. On the midfield line, McKee is a strong player, especially in interception, but the midfielder Iron Man is a brave player. Jimmy greaves: legendary striker, 196 1 joined from AC Milan for 99,999. He is the top scorer in six leagues and the only player who has won three games in a row. Up to now, it is still the record holder of the highest number of goals scored by the club in a single season (1962-63,37 goals) and the highest cumulative number of goals scored (1961-70,220 goals). 1964, as a double champion, the members gradually disintegrated due to old age, injury, transfer to other places and other reasons, and Nicholson began to rebuild the team. Use new players such as Allen Gilzean, Mike English, Pat Jennings, Allen Mullery, terry venables and a pair of defenders, Joe Kinnear and Cyril. The new team first won the FA Cup and the third place in Group A for Tottenham Hotspur 1967. After joining martin chivers and martin peters, he won the League Cup of 197 1 and 1973 and the UEFA Cup of 1973 respectively. Liang Junnuo led Tottenham Hotspur to become the first English club to win the European Cup, which was revived in the early 1970s. Unfortunately, after losing four games in a row at the beginning of the 1974 season, Tottenham broke with the top management and resigned, and Tottenham also entered a dark period. Although I worked as a consultant at 1976, the glorious years are over and the team still ends up relegation. ...

Bu Su Jian: A Calm Leader

Terry Neill succeeded Liang Junnuo as head coach, but Tottenham Football Club (20 players) could only roll at the bottom of the list, and was finally replaced by Keith Berkinshaw in June of 1976, but Tottenham could not escape the fate of relegation. It only took Tottenham a season to return to the first group. Tottenham Hotspur is about to start a new page. Busujian introduced a pair of Argentine World Cup champions-osvaldo Dienis and Ricardo Villa, together with attacking groups Steve Archibald and garth crooks, young glenn hoddle began to emerge, together with Steve Perryman. 198 1, Tottenham beat Manchester City 3-2 in the replay and won the100th FA Cup, while Villa wriggled his waist to avoid the heavy interception of Manchester City defender, and the winning goal was even more praised as the golden ball in the history of the FA Cup. 1982 On the occasion of the establishment of Tottenham Hotspur 100 anniversary, Monte Carlo real estate tycoon Owen Shusheng successfully acquired Tottenham Hotspur, which was heavily in debt because of the expansion of the west stand of White Hart Lane Stadium. At the same time, Yadini was also lent to the saint's ear because of the Falklands dispute. Tottenham Hotspur entered the FA Cup final again. Also due to the impact of the Falklands incident, Villa did not send head coach Busujian. In the final overtime 1 tie 1, a penalty will be awarded in the replay. 1-0 defeated queens park Rangers, a team in Group B led by Yunabas, and successfully defended the FA Cup for the second time, keeping the record of winning the FA Cup finals for seven times. Unfortunately, Tottenham lost to Liverpool by 1-3 in overtime in the Carling Cup final, and was eliminated by Barcelona in the semi-final of the European Cup. 1983 Tottenham accepted the sponsorship of German beer brand "Hallsten", the jersey advertisement made its debut, and the club was listed on the Stock Exchange for financing. Tottenham Hotspur 1984 tasted the UEFA Cup champion again, and the two sides drew 1- 1 with Andre of Belgium. After the second round of overtime at White Hart Lane, Tottenham won 4-3 with a wonderful save by goalkeeper Tony Parkes, when they exchanged penalties. A few days after the game, Busujian left Tottenham because of disagreement with the Tottenham Board of Directors.

Shurif and Bailey: Almost.

Peter Shriver is often called "Shriver" by mistake. He worked at Tottenham Hotspur for ten years, starting as the head coach of the youth team and then taking over as the assistant head coach of Busujian. He led Tottenham Hotspur for two seasons and finished third in the league in the first year, but lost his position because of his performance in the second season. David Pleat, the former Luton head coach, became the successor of Shu Lifu in May. 1986. In the World Cup, he adopted the Belgian formation, supported clive allen with five midfielders, including holder and holder, and made Tottenham win three consecutive championships. This season, Aaron scored a club record of 49 goals, and only finished third in the league. The Carling Cup semi-final drew 2-2 in two rounds, and the rematch was eliminated by Arsenal 1-2, but it lost in the FA Cup final for the first time, and lost to Coventry City 2-3 in overtime, and the team still had nothing. Burleigh was forced to resign in June 5438+0987 and June 5438+00 because the tabloids exposed his private life.

El Tel: headline numbers

Nicholson's former star terry venables returned to Tottenham from Barcelona in La Liga and became Pele's successor. During this six-year term, Bailuxiang often became the protagonist of headlines. After the dull first two seasons, 1988 beat Manchester United, joined hands with Newcastle to break the record of English transfer fee (2 million pounds) and bought paul gascoigne. Gary Lineker 1989 switched from Barcelona to Tottenham and returned to Unabas. 1989/90 season, venables led the team to a good third place, and won the FA Cup again next year, although gascoyne's reckless interception withdrew from the line of fire at the beginning of the final, and finally defeated Nottingham Forest 2- 1 after overtime, winning the FA Cup for a record eight times. Venables teamed up with businessman Alan Sugar to buy the debt-overlapping Tottenham Hotspur, and paid off a huge debt of 20 million pounds, partly due to the record transfer fee for selling Gassuni to Lazio in Italy for 5.5 million pounds. Yunabas became the chairman of Tottenham Hotspur and appointed Shurif as the head coach again. After only one season, he was replaced by the dual coaches of Doug Livermore and ray clemence. Tottenham started the Premier League in its first season, and only got a disappointing eighth place. Yunnabaus and Suka fell out and were finally kicked out of the board of directors.

Edith: The tide has gone out.

Ossie Dienis, who led West Bromwich albion to win the Group B play-offs, became the new head coach of Tottenham Hotspur on 1993. Gascoyne and Lianniga have left and been replaced by new players, such as Shu Ning Sheringham and Gordon Durie. Spurs' morale was low due to the legal proceedings in Pus, Su Jianuo and venables, and it was not until the second round of the final round of the league that the threat of relegation was lifted, and only 15 was won. Due to the scandal of Spurs' illegal payment in1980s, it was severely punished by the FA. 1994/95 In the new season, the Super League was deducted 12 points, and was banned from the FA Cup for one year and fined 600,000 pounds. Su Jia argued that the client had left Tottenham and was accepted, and escaped the penalty of suspension. Ya Dienis made a big acquisition and bought three foreign aid players, namely German striker Jurgen Klinsmann and Romanian midfielders gheorghe popescu and ilie Dumitrescu. Klinsmann, on the other hand, often scored beautiful goals and became the darling of White Hart Lane. However, the three players did not help Tottenham achieve excellent results. In September, Ya Dienis was dismissed. 1994.

Commitment is greater than achievement.

Gerry francis, the former head coach of queens park Rangers, succeeded Jaya Dienis, slightly reversing Tottenham's disadvantage. 1994/95 For the rest of the season, the FA Cup semi-final was defeated by Everton 1-4, and the league could climb to seventh place. 1995/96 Tottenham ranked eighth in the league and lost the qualification to participate in European competitions. During this period, some main players were sold: Bambi (Middlesbrough), Klinsmann (Bayern Munich) and Pubishku (Barcelona). 1996/97 season, Tottenham was under great pressure, and the league ranking fell to tenth, and various cups were eliminated early. 1997/98 The joining of Les Ferdinand and David Ginola did not change Tottenham's weakness in the Premier League. 1 1 month, Tottenham became the penultimate team and really felt the relegation crisis, and Francis was dismissed. Christian gross, head coach of Swiss champion Cao Meng, took office, first borrowed legendary striker Klinsmann again, and finally managed to keep his position in the first group of Tottenham Hotspur. However, Golos' performance was mediocre, the team lacked direction, and he was finally fired. He left Tottenham after defeating Everton on September 5, 1998 at/kloc-0, and Golos' first battle to take over Tottenham was to visit Madison Park. Unexpectedly, George Graham, who used to be the head coach of Arsenal, took over as coach, ranking 1 1 in the middle of the league with 1998/99, and winning the League Cup became Graham's only achievement during his tenure. In the final, he beat leicester city with 1-0. After 1999/2000, the league continued to rank 10th in the middle reaches, and the UEFA Cup was eliminated by Cassarotton earlier than the second round, while the FA Cup and Carling Cup failed to enter the fourth round. Graham also feels that his time at Tottenham Hotspur is running out. Since 200 1, Suka has been ridiculed by dissatisfied Tottenham fans and even insulted and threatened her family. The grumpy Suka couldn't bear it any longer and had to sell the controlling stake of Tottenham Hotspur to ENIC Sports Co., Ltd., which is run by Daniel Levy, a loyal fan of Tottenham Hotspur.

Hodo and Berry: The dream is broken again.

Glenn hoddle is one of the greatest players in the history of Tottenham Hotspur, but as a head coach, his performance is disappointing. Hodo took over as head coach on April 2, 20065438+0. At that time, Tottenham ranked 13, with a group of old, weak and disabled soldiers (9 players over 30 years old). His first coaching lesson happened to meet his arch-rival Arsenal in the FA Cup semi-final, and he was eliminated. Even more frustrating, captain sol campbell joined his arch-rival Arsenal for free after the offseason. As Tottenham only provided a small amount of money to buy players, Hodor had to buy cheap and practical veterans such as Shu Ning Xi 'an, Gus Poyet and christian ziege, and then bought dean richards from his old club Southampton to replace Su Gambo as a central defender. The following season, Tottenham's performance improved obviously, and ranked ninth in the last season. Tottenham still performed well in the cup, reaching the quarterfinals in the FA Cup and being eliminated by Chelsea, and reaching the final in the Carling Cup. However, 1-2 lost to Blackburn Rovers, leaving Tottenham out of Europe again, greatly increasing the pressure on the Dutchman next season. Thirdly, Tottenham Hotspur can only provide limited funds to buy players in the off-season The only big acquisition was robbie keane's 7 million pounds from Leeds United. In 2002/03, Tottenham started well, leading the standings after the first four games, and still ranked in the top six until the end of February. However, at the end of the season, only 7 points were scored in the 10 battle, so it had to be ranked in the disappointing tenth place. In the middle of the season, some players who were not reused publicly criticized Holdor's leadership skills, especially his poor communication skills. Holdor blamed the lack of support from the board of directors, especially the then football director Berry, but it didn't help. In the 2003/04 season, after only playing six rounds, Hodo retired and Berry temporarily took over as head coach. Rumor has it that the board headed by Levy wants to find a successor in Europe. Berry also temporarily replaced the whole season. The League Cup and the FA Cup were eliminated by Middlesbrough and Manchester City respectively, and the League was only disappointingly ranked 14.

Yan, Xinhe and Zur: European coaches

After months of media speculation about the new head coach, in May 2004, Tottenham finally announced the appointment of Danish Frank Arnesen as Sports director, former French national team coach jacques santini as head coach and Dutchman martin jol as teaching assistant. From the beginning, a brand-new European coaching team was formed. New Ni Tian has made some contributions to the Ligue 1 club before, but his defensive style is not suitable for Tottenham Hotspur's taste. After the draw with Chelsea at the beginning of the season, Xin was satirized by rival coach Mourinho as "stopping the team bus in front of the goal to defend" The team's morale continues to be low. Only five months after taking office, I have taught 13 games. 1 1 resigned and Zur took over teaching. Tottenham scored a steady goal, and Zur also won the honor of the best head coach of the month in June 5438+February 2004. However, the poor away performance made Tottenham finally tied the ninth place. In June 2005, Chen Yanni was poached by old rival Chelsea, but Zul's performance as a leader in the following 2005/06 season was unexpected, because Tottenham kept the top four in the standings for six months. Until the last game of the league against Arsenal, Tottenham still led the opponent by one point and ranked fourth in the standings. Unfortunately, before the game, more than half of Tottenham players suddenly contracted gastroenteritis caused by Norwalk virus. As a result, Tottenham, who attacked at half-time, lost the game in North London and handed over the precious Champions League qualification to Arsenal.

Ramos: Much thunder and little rain

However, in the 2006/07 season, Zul won the fifth place in the league again, but the management of the club, eager for success, began to lose patience with him, so in the early 2007/08 season, Ramos, a Spanish citizen, was hired to replace Zul with high salary. Seville's outstanding performance under Ramos' previous command made the fans expect him to take young Tottenham Hotspur to a higher level. However, the only commendable thing during Ramos' tenure was that he beat Chelsea 2-/Kloc-0-0 in the Carling Cup final in February 2008 and won the club's first championship since the Millennium. However, Tottenham's performance in the league became repeated, and it was at the bottom of the standings at the beginning of the 2008-09 season, until the team lost to Udinese in the UEFA Cup 10 in mid-June, which finally became the fuse for Ramos' immediate dismissal. Irreversibly, the 2008/09 season has become the worst season start in the history of Tottenham Hotspur.

Harry Redknapp: Harry Magic.

English coach harry redknapp of Portsmouth was immediately appointed as the new head coach of Tottenham Hotspur. Faced with the mess left by Ramos in the 20th place in the standings and the fact that a pair of main strikers Berbatov and robbie keane were sold one after another in the summer, Harry began to rebuild his localization lineup. The effect is immediate. By beating Bolton, Liverpool, Manchester City and the exciting 4-4 draw with Arsenal, Tottenham scored 12, so Harry left the relegation zone only two weeks after taking over. The team finally finished the 2008-09 season with the eighth place. Although it won the championship in the last round, it still failed to surpass Fulham, who also scored three points, which made Tottenham rarely miss the European competition in 2009- 10 season. After a disappointing trip to Liverpool, robbie keane returned to the team in the winter and resumed his duties as captain. In a very short time, Harry Redknapp single-handedly rescued Tottenham from the relegation vortex and upgraded its ranking to a one-time European qualification. This achievement surprised Tottenham fans and made many people break their glasses. Some media and ball critics even call it Harry Redknapp's magic. In the 2009-20 10 season, Tottenham continued its heroic performance at the end of last season and won the first four games of the season, including the 2- 1 victory over Liverpool in the opening game. Aaron Lennon, Haider Si Tong and other local players played their ideals, changed the bad habit of being swayed by considerations of gain and loss in defense, and made Harry the best head coach in August. Striker Defoe also won the player of the month. 20091October 22nd, 165438+ team beat Wigan Athletic 9- 1 at White Hart Lane, setting a new record for the club's biggest win in the top league. Defoe scored five goals in the second half, including a hat-trick in seven minutes, becoming the third person in Premier League history to score five goals in a single game after Shearer and andy cole. On April 4th, 20 10, Tottenham beat Arsenal 2- 1 with a long shot from danny rose, a new star in the first league, and a goal from garis Bell. It won the first Premier League victory against an old enemy in North London since 1999, and also destroyed their dream of winning the championship. Then on May 5th, Tottenham beat rival Manchester City with 1-0, and it was determined that they could beat each other in the standings, and at least finished the league in fourth place and qualified for the Champions League. Next season, they will enter the Champions League in a historic way, but first they must pass the test of the fourth round of two-round qualifiers. Finally, with the end of the 2009- 10 season, Tottenham scored 70 points in the standings with 2 1-7 and 10-0, which is the highest score at the end of the season since the 1987 season. In this way, Tottenham not only stood firm in the fourth place in the league, but also broke the deadlock of the monopoly of the four major families in the Premier League in the past five years. Harry Redknapp won the Best Manager Award in the Premier League at the end of the season, becoming the second manager of a non-champion team in history to win this honor, which also reflects his achievements and contributions since joining in 2008. On the afternoon of September, 2065438, Kloc-0, nearly 24 hours before the transfer window of the Premier League closed, the Premier League Committee finally approved Tottenham's acquisition of Van der Vaart from Real Madrid for 8 million pounds. Old Ray also pinned his hopes on Van der Vaart. "He is a top player, a real classic player. It is simply from another planet! " Van der Vaart also played for 46 minutes in Tottenham's first Champions League game, with an assist. Coupled with small and medium-sized players Bell, modric, old players ledley king, Gallas, pavlyuchenko, Keane and so on, Tottenham can compete with the Champions League!

Edit the logo of this paragraph.

Tottenham Hotspur has used the cockfighting pattern as the club logo since the FA Cup final of 190 1. Since the club is named after Sir Henry Percy of Lancaster Dynasty (known as Harry Spurs, which Shakespeare once wrote), it is logical to use his famous spurs and cockfighting as symbolic images. 1909, a player named william james Scott cast a bronze statue for the team, but added a spherical base at the foot of the cockfighting. The club decided to put the bronze statue on the roof of the west stand of the stadium. Since then, it has stood for a whole century and silently watched all the home games of the team. 1982 celebrates the birth of the club100th anniversary, and commemorative words are added to the articles of association. 1983, in order to crack down on unauthorized pirated goods, the emblem needed to become more complicated, so the organizer added two red totem lions and the club motto to the pattern, which was applied to Tottenham jerseys in the following 20 years. 1997, the new team emblem of Tottenham was released, and the landmarks and designs related to the Tottenham area infiltrated into the shield emblem. Lions on both sides of the shield are the symbol of the northumberland family, because Henry Percy is a member of the family and also the Lord of Tottenham. The castle in the upper left corner represents Bruce Castle, which is only 400 yards away from the stadium. Its present position has become a museum. The seven trees on the upper right are to commemorate the story of Seven Sisters's afforestation by Page Green in Tottenham, and some local railways, subways and roads are named after them. The ribbon under the shield also has the Latin motto "Audere Est Facere" written on it. After two years of use, the emblem was restored to its original appearance on 1999. On June 65438+1October 65438+September 2006, Tottenham Club officially announced the opening of the new emblem. In order to cooperate with the club's image innovation and modernization, the club hired a professional design company to redesign the emblem. The new version of the emblem is more concise than before, and it is refreshing while retaining the classics. It has been officially used since the 2006/07 season, and the emblem embroidered on the players' uniforms will omit the following club name.

Edit this paragraph of team uniform

The first uniform of the Spurs after its establishment was navy blue tops and shorts, but there was no established design since the first season (1882). For example, in 1884, pink and white shirts were used symmetrically and equally, but in 1890, when the team moved to northumberland Road, they were replaced with bright red shirts. When Tottenham Hotspur 1896 joined the Southern First Division and officially became a professional club, the team uniform was replaced with dark brown and gold vertical striped jerseys. The design of Tottenham Hotspur jerseys was not finalized until the end of 19. 1898 (Figure12) The newly designed training photo for Tottenham Hotspur players uses pure white shirts and navy shorts, which is the prototype of today's Tottenham jersey. The immaculate image of the jersey has also begun to make the outside world call Tottenham "Bai Baihe". These two colors were chosen to pay tribute to Preston Football Club, the first league and FA Cup champion. White and navy blue have been the basic colors of the club since then, and the uniforms have only changed slightly since then. After World War I, the rooster badge was embroidered on the chest; 1939, the player number is printed on the back of the team uniform. 1983, Holsten, a German beer manufacturer, became the first sponsored trademark printed on the chest of Tottenham jerseys. Tottenham Hotspur became the pioneer in wearing knee shorts at 199 1. At that time, the shorts of most teams in the world were above the knee, and knee-length shorts were an innovative trend at that time, and then teams rushed to follow suit. Thomson's red logo was selected as the chest sponsorship trademark in 2002, which caused great controversy among some Tottenham fans because it belongs to the color of the old enemy Arsenal. In 2006, Tottenham won a huge sponsorship contract for the mansion of the international gambling group, with a total value of 34 million pounds.
