Tottenham Hotspur entered Division 2 in 1908 having already won the FA Cup as
a Southern League team in 1901. Before the war, they added the 1921 FA Cup
but had little success in the league (their best finish being a runners-up
spot in 1922). Their first major success came in 1951, a year after being
promoted, when they lifted the division 1 championship for the first time.
However, their best ever period came under the management of Bill Nicholson
as they became the third team to win the league and FA Cup double in 1961. A
year later, they won the FA Cup again and then, in 1963, won the European Cup
Winners Cup. Nicholson's final success came in 1967 with yet another FA Cup
triumph before Spurs began a slide which ended in Division 2. In 1978, they
were back with the elite when they made a daring swoop for Argentinian World
Cup stars, Osvaldo Ardiles and Riccardo Villa. These two set English football
alight and when Spurs reached the 1981 Cup final, it was only right that one of
them should score the winner. Surprisingly, it was Villa, the lesser light of
the two who scored after a mazy run. The Cup was won again the following season
and yet again in 1991. Post World Cup fever again came to White Hart Lane in
1994 when Jurgen Klinsmann arrived but despite another excellent FA Cup run, he
decided to leave after one year and now Tottenham have to build towards the
year 2001 having won something in every post war year ending in 1.
