A few things about Tottenham

Before checking the fixtures and results of Tottenham in the 2020-21 season, let’s grasp some basic knowledge about this English professional football club. 

History 

The club we have all known as Tottenham has the official name as the Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, or sometimes referred to as Spurs. They are a professional football club based in Tottenham, London, England, hence the name. 

Tottenham was founded in 1882. Football fans also call them The Lilywhites as their nickname. The club used to play at White Hart Lane until 2019. Their current home ground is the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, which is the third-largest stadium in England with nearly 63000 seats. They have played in white shirts and navy blue shorts, which are also the primal colors in their badge since the 1898-99 season.

Nine years after their inception, Tottenham won their first FA Cup title in 1901. They also won this competition seven more times, in the 1920-21, 1960-61, 1961-62, 1966-67, 1980-81, 1981-82, and 1990-91 seasons.
