Hotspur FC Primary Logo

Founded in 1882, Tottenham won the FA Cup for the first time in 1901, the only non-League club to do so since the formation of the Football League in 1888. 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 UEFA club competition – the European Cup Winners' Cup. They were also the inaugural winners of the UEFA Cup in 1972, becoming the first British club to win two different major European trophies. They have collected at least one major trophy in each of the six decades from the 1950s to 2000s – an achievement only matched by Manchester United. In total, Spurs have won two league titles, eight FA Cups, four League Cups, seven FA Community Shields, one European Cup Winners' Cup and two UEFA Cups. Tottenham were also the runners-up in the 2018–19 UEFA Champions League. The club has a long-standing rivalry with nearby club Arsenal, with head-to-head fixtures known as the North London derby.

Nickname
Spurs, The Lilywhites
Technically, the official name of Tottenham Hotspur is "The Lilywhites," Spurs is just a shortened name of their very long official name. Unfortunately, the name "Lilywhites" is not very interesting, just a nod to the color of their shirts.
