Tottenham Hotspur F.C. Info
Tottenham Hotspur Crest
One of the oldest clubs in English football, Tottenham Hotspur wear all white with navy blue trim.
The Spurs were elected to Second Division of the Football League in 1908 and followed that achievement immediately with promotion to the First Division in 1909. They fared poorly over the next several years, sitting in last place when football was suspended for the duration of World War I.
Tottenham Hotspur Manager
The Spurs’ current manager is Harry Redknapp, who has managed a number of English teams over the course of his career including Portsmouth, Southampton and West Ham United. Redknapp was brought in to manage the club in October of the past season(08-09) after an extremely poor showing from the team at the start of the season had left them in the relegation zone. Redknapp reversed the trend and led the team to considerable success over the course of the season, instilling a solid tactical sensibility and a strong self-confidence the team had lacked. In addition he has brought in such notable players as Jermain Defoe, Robbie Keane, and most recently, Peter Crouch.
The club’s name comes from the historical figure Sir Henry Percy, otherwise known as Harry Hotspur, who was immortalized in Shakespeare’s Henry IV, Part I, and is probably more familiar as that character than he is as an actual historical personage. Henry Percy was a resident of the Tottenham area in his day. In addition, Hotspur is famous for his quick temper, fiery personality and prowess as a warrior, making him a natural choice to be adopted as the patron-in-name of a football team.
Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
Tottenham Hotspur plays its home matches at White Hart Lane, a fully enclosed rectangular stadium in the London district for which the team is named. The club’s residence there began in 1899, when the complex was adapted from its previous purpose, a plant nursery which had become seldom used, and renovated into a football pitch with rudimentary seating space for several thousand spectators. The early 20th century saw a number of renovation and construction projects to the Lane, eventually resulting in the modern stadium as it presently exists, with a seating capacity of 36,310. There are plans in the works to replace White Hart Lane with a substantially larger stadium on the same ground in the near future.
Tottenham Hotspur is an English football club based in the North London district of Tottenham, currently playing in the English Premier League, finishing the ’08-’09 season in eighth place. They are known as The Spurs or just Spurs for short.
The original incarnation of what would become the club known today was a boys’ team called the Hotspur Football Club formed by members of a bible class at the nearby All Hallows Church.
When the sport resumed play after WWI in 1919, Tottenham played in the Second Division while Arsenal, who had finished in sixth in 1914, were called up to the expanded First. This, on top of the physical proximity of the two clubs, created a fierce rivalry that remains to this day as one of the most impassioned in the English leagues. Tottenham has played consistently in the Premier League since its formation in 1992.
The club’s emblem is a cockerel standing on top of a football.
Tottenham Hotspur turned professional formally in the winter of 1895, as a member of the old Southern League.
About Sunderland A.F.C.
Sunderland A.F.C. Crest
Sunderland faced financial hardships in the late ’50′s-early ’60′s, but managed to rejoin Division 1 towards the end of the decade. This promotion did not last long, as they faced relegation to the Second Division shortly after. The early ’70′s saw a rejuvenated Sunderland pick up some historic victories. In addition to winning the FA Cup in ’73, Sunderland became 1 of 3 teams since ’73, to win the cup outside of the top flight of English club football. Jimmy Montgomery, Sunderland goal keeper, led the team to victory against Leeds United, thanks to his double saves in the net. The club would then qualify for the UEFA Cup Winners Cup, the first and last time to date.
Sunderland A.F.C. Manager
Earlier in 2009, Steve Bruce assumed managerial duties for Sunderland. He picked up where Ricky Sbragia left off, and brings a wealth of experience to The Black Cats. From Wigan Athletic and Sheffield United to Crystal Palace and Birmingham City, Bruce has managed some of the finest English clubs in existence. The British national had a sensational playing career, as he dominated the Center Back position with clubs like Manchester United and Norwich City. Known for his heart and determination, Steve was a physical player on the pitch, and had an unusually high goal scoring rate for a central defender.
Sunderland A.F.C. Stadium
Sunderland’s home ground is located at the Stadium of Light. This all-seater football facility hosts 49,000 spectators, and has the fifth-largest capacity of any English football venue. The full grass pitch has also hosted the English National Team, as well as one England under-20 football match. The stadium opened its doors in 1997, and ‘The Black Cats’ have made it their home ever since. The multi-purpose stadium also has conference and banqueting suites, and even held two concerts earlier this year.
Sunderland have won 6 First Division Titles, and joined the Football League in 1890.
The squad won the FA Cup in 1937, and remained in the top flight of club football until 1958. Sunderland won their second FA Cup in 1973, led by the legendary Ian Porterfield. Sunderland has a historic rivalry with Newcastle United, and continues to be a worthy competitor in club football today.
Today, Sunderland have made it back into the Premiership, and are led by Albanian sensation, Captain Lorik Cana. Cana picks up where former Manchester United superstar Roy Keane left off. With Steve Bruce as manager, they hope to win championships, rekindle their previous impressive undefeated streak, and quickly rise back to prominence within the League. The current season will have Sunderland taking on the best of the best, and only time will tell if the squad will be champions again.
Sunderland have played memorable matches over the years against the likes of Aston Villa, Manchester United, and interclub matches and friendlies. The team is also known as The Mackems, and the “Team of All Talents”, a name given to them by club founder, William McGregor. From Johnny Campbell to Dave Halliday, who holds an all-time Sunderland record for most goals in a single season, Sunderland have produced some impressive players over the years.
Sunderland returned to the Premier League in 1999, but faced relegation in the years ahead. Mick McCarthy, the former Ireland manager, took charge of the team in 2005, and led them to a 3rd championship in under a decade. The club’s momentum at the top was short lived, as McCarthy left the club, and Sunderland once again dropped in the rankings. Kevin Ball, the former Sunderland player, took control of the team but not much happened for Sunderland, promotion wise.
The ’80′s and ’90′s would see Sunderland face mediocre results and further relegation. The club also faced losses to Norwich City, and scrambled in the Third Division to get back to top tier club football. The 1990′s would see the club bounce back into the top flight, but were relegated back down to Second Division as the season ended. Sunderland managed to make it to the FA Cup Finals in ’92, they gave it a valiant effort, but lost to Liverpool 2-0. The team went on to possibly face relegation again in ’95, but things picked up for them as new manager, Peter Reid, entered the fray.
Based in Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, England, Sunderland A.F.C. currently play in the Premier League.
