Tottenham Hotspur F.C. Overview
Tottenham Hotspur Crest
Tottenham Hotspur turned professional formally in the winter of 1895, as a member of the old Southern League.
One of the oldest clubs in English football, Tottenham Hotspur wear all white with navy blue trim.
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 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.
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.
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 emblem is a cockerel standing on top of a football.
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 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.
West Ham United FC Short Summary
West Ham United F.C. Crest
West Ham United is an English football club based in the borough of Newham in East London. They currently play in the English Premier League, having finished 9th at the end of the 08/09 season.
West Ham United Manager
West Ham’s current manager is Italian Gianfranco Zola, who won great acclaim in English football as an attacking midfielder and forward for Chelsea in years previous. Zola was well known for his aggressive, dedicated offensive play and his creativity and technical prowess with the ball. He became West Ham’s manager at the beginning of the past season(08-09) and his positive effects became quickly evident, with a focus on creative passing, quick-thinking tactical play and positive, attack-heavy football showing through and bringing new life to a famous and storied team.
The team’s traditional colours are claret(a deep red) and light blue, the latter usually on the sleeves. The current season’s home kit features a check pattern on the shirt and blue trim rather than full sleeves for a change of pace(which helps also to differentiate their shirts from the nearly identical kit of Aston Villa), and the away shirt is a dark blue with a light blue stripe, a reference to the all-dark blue kit that was the original shirt worn by the team.
West Ham United Stadium
The Hammers play at the Boleyn Ground, more commonly called Upton Park after the area of East London in which it is located. The stadium has been their home since 1912, when the team established themselves at the grounds of the old Green Street House, which was known also as Boleyn Castle due to its size and association with Anne Boleyn. This later became known as the Boleyn Ground. The stadium seats 35,303 at top capacity and is arranged in the familiar rectangular design of English football grounds, with tiered seating sections outlining the field at right angles to one another. The second world war had its effects shown in East London when a German V-1 rocket struck the stadium in August of 1944, fortunately while the park was unoccupied. The team played all of its games away until December when its repairs were completed.
The club was formed originally in 1895 by the workers of Thames Ironworks under its original name, Thames Ironworks FC. The team remained an amateur group for the next few years, achieving considerable success. They won the first West Ham Charity Cup in 1895, a tournament of local teams, and the London League in 1897.
West Ham’s youth system is also well-renowned and has brought a number of prominent British players to light, resulting in the other descriptive nickname for the club, The Academy of Football.
In 1898 Thames Ironworks FC became a professional team, joining the old Southern League’s second division, and ascending to first division shortly thereafter. Due to internal problems the team disbanded, but reformed as West Ham United in July of 1900.
In honor of its origins as a group of iron workers the team is referred to by the nicknames The Hammers and The Irons, and the club crest is an image of the front of the old ironworks with a pair of crossed hammers in the forefront. The fact that the word ‘hammer’ sounds like ‘ham’ is simply a fortunate coincidence.
West Ham played in the new Division 1 during the Premiership’s inaugural season in 1992-93, finished in second and was promoted to the Premier League for the following season, where it has remained with the exception of the ’03-’04 season.
