Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, commonly referred to as Spurs, are an English Premier League association football club based in Tottenham, North London. The club's home stadium is White Hart Lane. Founded in 1882, Tottenham won the FA Cup for the first time in 1901, making them the only non-League club to do so since the formation of the Football League.
Tottenham were the first club in the 20th century to achieve the League and FA Cup Double, winning both competitions in the 1960-61 season. After successfully defending the FA Cup in 1962, in 1963 they became the first British club to win a major European trophy -- the European Cup Winners' Cup. In 1967 they won the FA Cup for a third time in the 1960's.
In the 1970s they won the League Cup on two occasions and were the inaugural winners of the UEFA Cup in 1972, becoming the first British club to win two different major European trophies. In the 1980s Spurs won several trophies: the FA Cup twice, FA Community Shield and the UEFA Cup in 1984. In the 1990s they won the FA Cup and the League Cup.
When they won the League Cup once more in 2008, it meant that they had won a major trophy in each of the last six decades -- an achievement only matched by Manchester United.
