| Tottenham är inte det framgångsrikaste fotbollslaget i England, men det är en klubb med stor tradition och stolthet. Vid många tillfällen har Spurs varit revolutionerande och fungerat som pionjärer och stilbildare för övriga klubbar i England. Konkreta exempel på detta är Arthur Rowes upplaga av ”push and run” och Bill Nicholsons version av effektiv gladfotboll. Tottenham blev första brittiska klubb att vinna en europeisk cupturnering för klubblag 1963. Ur ekonomisk synvinkel var Spurs första fotbollsklubb att börsnoteras. Spurs var också första klubb att inhandla internationella storstjärnor till England när Keith Burkinshaw värvade Ossie Ardiles och Ricky Villa från Argentina 1978. Tottenham är idag ett etablerat lag i Premier League. Dock finns det förhoppningar om att åter en dag få uppleva fornstora glansdagar. För att bäst kunna beskriva vad Tottenham handlar om vill jag citera legendariske lagkaptenen, strategen och forne mittfältaren Danny Blanchflower: “The great fallacy is that the game is first and last about winning. It’s nothing of the kind. The game is about glory. It’s about doing things in style, with a flourish, about going out beating the other lot, not waiting for them to die of boredom.” Nedan följer fler träffsäkra citat. “White Hart Lane was always a place where I felt I belonged." David Ginola “I would run through brick walls for Spurs." Graham Roberts “Even now, when I go over to my mother'S house and dig out the old tracksuit tops I wore, it makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck. I like to think i am part of a special family. I am no longer connected with the club on a daily basis, but i'm delighted with every win and sad about every defeat." Steve Perryman “Any player coming to Spurs, whether he's a big signing or just a ground staff boy, must be dedicated to the game and to the club. He must never be satisfied with his last performance, and he must hate losing." Bill Nicholson “The Captain was Stevie P and he ran things on the pitch. We were all good talkers. We never worried about other teams." Graham Roberts “Bill did so much for his beloved Spurs that we must never let his legacy fade. He must be our inspiration as we strive to ensure that a new era dawns here at White Hart Lane." Daniel Levy “When Gazza came to the Spurs training ground for the first time got the ball, went round 8 players as if they were not there and then smashed the ball into the net. Just to see him play like that made the hair stand up on the back of your neck. Everybody stood there and applauded him." Terry Venables “The biggest regret of my whole football career was leaving White Hart Lane in 1970.....my interest in football weakened after that. I was heartbroken" Jimmy Greaves “I fell in love with this club and it still my favourite. I was made very welcome there by everyone and the fans were always marvellous. There is always a place in my heart for Tottingham Hotspurs" Ossie Ardiles Mikael Nilsson |
