Club Records:
1900/01: Spurs' Alexander "Sandy" Brown became the first person to score in every round of the FA Cup
in one season he scored 15 goals which also set a record as the most goals scored in one competition.
1908: Spurs play in the first-ever league match where they beat the FA Cup holders, Wolverhampton
Wanderers, 3-0.
1927/28: Unfortunately relegated but with 38 points - the most points ever scored by a relegated team under
the 2 points for a win system.
1961: Tottenham became the first team to "Do the double" - win the League and FA Cup in the same season.
1963: Spurs became the first English team to win a European competition - the European Cup Winners' Cup.
1967: Tottenham won the first ever All-London FA Cup Final when they beat Chelsea 2-1.
1978: Spurs signed Osvaldo Ardiles and Ricardo Villa as the first recorded foreigners in the league although
the real first foreigner was Max Seeburg who also played for Spurs but it is not known exactly when he was
signed.
Unfortunately, Spurs are going through a rather bad patch at the moment which has lasted quite a
while and left the younger supporters, like me, only the FA Cup and Charity Sheild which we won
in 1991 as Major competitionsfor us to appreciate. With us narrowly missing relegation last season
I hope that things will get much better.
