Tottenham Hotspur F.C. Brief Summary
Tottenham Hotspur Crest
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
One of the oldest clubs in English football, Tottenham Hotspur wear all white with navy blue trim.
Wigan Athletic Football Club Info
Wigan Athletic F.C. Crest
Today, Wigan consists of top notch players. Led by current club Captain, Mario Melchiot, the squad has seen much success in the League. The team has been ridiculed in the past for poor performances, and dismal gate numbers, however, their matches against Arsenal and Everton last season, propelled them to new heights. Wigan, though still considered a new team, have impressed countless fans and supporters with their never quit attitude. Now entrenched in the current season, Wigan maybe the wild card team that can pull off the impossible. Their classic victory against Hull City last season, as well as the combination of Scott Sinclair (on loan from Chelsea), Jason Scotland, and Jamaica’s Marlon King, have Wigan off to a tremendous start. The fans will watch and continue to admire Wigan’s ‘underdog’ status, and under the management of Roberto Martinez, more success is predicted for the team this season.
Wigan Athletic Manager
Roberto Martinez accepted managerial duties in June of this year. He also received an offer from Celtic, but chose to sign a three-year contract with Wigan, worth 1.5 million pounds. Martinez, the former manager of Swansea City, brings nearly two decades of football experience to the Latics. As a former player for Wigan, the Spanish national played midfield with precision and tact. He scored an impressive 23 goals during his playing career with Wigan, and won the Football League Third Division championship in the ’96-’97 season. Roberto hopes to avoid relegation and contribute to the recent upturn Wigan is experiencing.
Wigan co-hold a record with Boston United and Hereford United. This record, scoring a huge victory over a league club by a non league club, still stands today. During the early to mid part of the clubs existence, they moved within several leagues. From the Football League to the Cheshire County League, Wigan struggled to find its place in competitive club play. The Wigan Warriors, a Rugby Team, seemed to dominate the scene at the time, leaving Wigan Athletic at a loss for establishment. This would change, however, in the late ’60′s and early ’70′s.
Paul Jewell, former player, took over the reigns for the club in 2001. The squad would win the Division 2 Championship in the ’02-’03 season. Wigan would enter the Premier League 2 years later, coming in Runners Up in the Coca Cola Championship, behind Sunderland. Wigan Athletic would go toe to toe with several teams in the Premier League. From Manchester United and Chelsea, to Fulham and Charlton Athletic, Wigan put on dazzling performances, no matter the outcome.
Wigan Athletic Stadium
DW Stadium, formerly known as JJB Stadium, is a dual-purpose sports facility located within the Robin Park complex in Wigan. It is named after the stadium’s main sponsor, DW Sports Fitness, and was built in 1999. The venue opened its doors that same year, and currently hosts Wigan Athletic and the Wigan Warriors. It also facilitated Orrell RUFC of National Division Two, but after minimal success, the rugby team moved out in 2003. The stadium has a grass pitch and seats 24,826 spectators. Attendance figures have been steady since the stadium’s inception, and also hosts minor musical acts.
Based in Wigan, Greater Manchester, England, Wigan Athletic FC currently play in the Premier League. They were promoted from the Football League in 2005, and have remained in the top flight Premiership to date. They are the newest club in the League, and were formed around 1932. Their home ground is based at DW Stadium, and played at Springfield Park for over six decades. Wigan goes by the club nickname, “Latics”.
In 1995, Wigan would see the beginning of its rise to the top echelon of English club play. Led by new owner, David Whelan, it would take the club a decade to enter the Premiership. Wigan, en route to their goal of entering top flight football, would capture the Division 3 Title in ’97. They would also reach the Divisional Playoffs in ’99, but would lose to neighboring Manchester City. Wigan would face more upper management changes at the start of the new century, however, an improvement in their performances was clearly visible.
Wigan co-founded the Northern Premier League in ’68. After many attempts to join the Scottish League Second Division, Wigan were elected to join the Football League four years later. Although Wigan would come up short on many occasions, and would be scrambling in the 4th Division, they managed to capture the Freight Rover Trophy in 1985. Wigan would compete against some sturdy competition in The Bolton Wanderers. By the mid ’90′s, Wigan would establish themselves as a steady and secure outfit.
