This account has gone quiet mostly because of the excellent work by actual Spurs historians on Bluesky such as Gareth.

His new pod is a great listen and is suitable for old and new Tottenham fans regardless of whether they’ve read his books.

On this Spurs Day in the 90s (ish)…in 2000 despite huge apathy towards the team, manager and chairman we scored 7 against Southampton but no-one left feeling particularly happy!

I set myself a goal at the start of February to celebrate the creations of Spurs fans every day of the month.

No matter what happens with Spurs, football, or the world, the support and love we show each other is ours to control.

Today’s recognition is for the Spurs Bluesky community 🤍

Seems like a good time step up and share this beauty of an ‘OTD’: in 2002 we beat Chelsea 5-1 in a remarkable Worthington Cup semi final second leg: thfcdb.com/matches/2001...

I’m running on fumes so @spurshistory.bsky.social will take a little break.

Sorry for not being able to keep it going at a decent pace.

Thanks to everyone who follows the account. It’ll be back soon.

🎂 Happy Birthday to former Tottenham Hotspur defender, Jonathan Woodgate!

Jonathan joined Spurs from Middlesborough in January 2008 and scored the winning goal in the League Cup final a few months later!
