Book excerpt: The tale of Tottenham Hotspur's extraordinary run to the 2019 Champions League Final in Madrid.

Using match reports from national newspapers to provide the narrative thread, Fynn and Cloake draw on their backgrounds in football business and politics to explain why this campaign so fired the imagination--in a season with no signings, played mostly without a home stadium.

Download or read book People s History of Tottenham Hotspur written by Martin Cloake and published by eBook Partnership. This book was released on 2016-08-15 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A People's History of Tottenham Hotspur is the story of how fans helped create the identity of a world-famous club and tells a story from a perspective rarely acknowledged. Drawing on social history, contemporary press reports and first-hand interviews with the fans themselves, authors Martin Cloake and Alan Fisher trace the club's development from being the team of the suburbs and the rising south, through the glory years and the arrival of mass, popular culture, and into the modern era of the game. It is not a tale of trophies won and lost, of players bought and sold. Instead, it is the story of how one of the game's oldest and most famous teams was formed and established by its fans and how its identity was created by them. It evaluates how the fans' relationship with the club has evolved, as the game has changed: from those bygone days, when a club was at the heart of a local community, to the modern era, where the world's leading football clubs have to compete as multinational 'brands', appealing to fans on a global scale, stretching much further and wider than the north London footprint than the club's founders would have ever imagined.

Book excerpt: The atmosphere is electric, the pitch an impossibly brilliant shade of green and Spurs, in all-white of course, are playing with that famous swashbuckling style, zipping the ball off the greasy surface with devastating precision and purpose. Their quick-passing game rips open the usually immaculately drilled defence of their illustrious European opponents and, as the ball hits the back of the net, White Hart Lane erupts in a thunderous, jubilant roar which echoes with magical memories from 50 years of fantastic, floodlit European evenings - the glory glory nights! European football has a special resonance at Tottenham Hotspur. The spirit of adventure, the romance of taking on the very best, matching their style and technique and, when it all goes to plan, blowing them away with skill, pace and passion, has always fitted in exactly with what Spurs are all about. To dare is to do! In 1963 Spurs became the first British team ever to win a European trophy when they beat Atletico Madrid to lift the European Cup Winners' Cup, and in total the club has won three trophies across more than 50 seasons of European campaigns. The Glory Glory Nights tells the story of every one of them - from the first competitive foray onto foreign fields when Bill Nick took the great Double side into the unknown of the European Cup to Bale, Modric, and van der Vaart marauding their way to the quarter-finals of the Champions League in 2010. The complete and official story of Tottenham Hotspur in Europe, this beautifully put-together book is packed with spectacular photography, much of it previously unseen, match reports and statistics from every European game the club has ever played, plus first-hand memories and recollections from club legends like Danny Blanchflower, Jimmy Greaves, Steve Perryman, Martin

Book excerpt: RE-EDITED 30th JUNE 2021 PLEASE DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION OF BOOK In 1961 Tottenham Hotspur created history when they became the first team to win the ‘Double’ in the 20th century. Though Manchester United (three times), Arsenal (twice), Chelsea, and Liverpool have all won it since, those achievements were undoubtedly magnificent, but there was something about that Tottenham team of 1961 that remained immortal. Perhaps it had everything to do with their style, and the players who achieved the Double. Spurs success certainly kick started what became known as the ‘Golden Era’ of English football. Their manager Bill Nicholson belied his shy, and retiring nature off the pitch to create one of the most flamboyant teams Britain has ever seen. Though he won many more honours in his reign as manager including another F.A. Cup, two League Cups, and helping Spurs become the first team to win the UEFA Cup his ‘Super Spurs’ team of 1961 was undoubtedly his finest creation. At the end of the book is a section advertising available memorabilia of Spurs success.

Download or read book Be In That Number written by Carl Jones and published by . This book was released on 2020-04-12 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Be In That Number is a year-long memoir of Tottenham Hotspur's 2018/19 season, told through the eyes and voices of their supporters' clubs around the world, as a growing global fanbase share their own devotion to a football club hundreds or even thousands of miles away. 2018/19 was supposed to mark Tottenham's long-awaited return home to N17 and the dawn of a bright new era under one of football's most coveted managers. What followed was an extended stay at Wembley, a wholly unexpected run to the Champions League Final and - eventually - the departure of the man many expected to remain at the helm for years to come. Derbyshire-born comedian and author Carl Jones recounts his own experience as a matchgoing Tottenham fan of 25 years as he meets the chairman of LA Spurs who would catch up on Spurs results by waiting for a newspaper to hit the stands in the early hours of the morning, the Lebanese student who smashes plates to deal with his emotions while watching matches and the Icelandic fan who plans to walk down the aisle to When The Spurs Go Marching In. He speaks to a Malaysian fan who met his best friend in a public bathroom after spotting a Tottenham pin badge on his lapel, the Chairman of OzSpurs who moved 'down under' for love and finally felt at home when meeting Tottenham fans in his adopted nation and the founder of Punjabi Spurs who formed his supporters' club to bring unity through football - despite being brought up in a houseful of Manchester United fans! On the pitch, Tottenham thrill and disappoint in equal measure as they eventually return home, before an incredible night at the Etihad, an unforgettable comeback in Amsterdam and a bittersweet night in Madrid cap off an unforgettable season and the beginning of the end for Pochettino. Critical praise for Be In That Number "Carl Jones reveals the huge extended Spurs family around the world and shows us what's it like to support the famous Lilywhites. Informative, hilarious and moving it's a rip roaring page turner for all Spurs fans." - Mike Leigh, The Spurs Show
