Legend has it that it was under a lamppost on Tottenham High Road where the motion to form a football club was moved at a meeting of the Hotspur Cricket Club by members Bobby Buckle, Hamilton Casey, and John Anderson in 1882. Our ‘birthday’ is 5 September, 1882, Hotspur FC became Tottenham Hotspur in 1884 and in 1885, played the club’s first competitive fixture against St Albans in the London Association Cup, a 5-2 victory.
The historic Tottenham Hotspur Clock, which sat outside White Hart Lane between 1934 and 2007 has now been reinstated. A piece of mechanical engineering which became a landmark for the Club, the clock has been installed on a new lamppost near to what is believed to be its original location, once again marking the Club’s presence on the High Road
