I must admit to being nothing more than a glory hunter...I was easily lead when we won the FA CUP

In 1970 as an 8 year old...

Don't judge me

Born in 1985 in Stevenage so our local team at the time was non league.

Grandad came from north London and moved out when the started expanding these new towns and supported spurs.

Although the real reason was because my brother supported arsenal and I hated that annoying caaant so done it so I could be different.

I was Tottenham the moment I was born. Born into a family of Spurs fans. I literally had no choice.

Born into it. Born in Enfield . Family all from Tottenham. My Old man was at the double winning cup final & my gran was one of the "tea ladies" at the club during the Bill Nic era. My first game was in '84

I started supporting at primary school, probably about 7 or 9, so 1990 ish.

I didn't really know much about football but my best mate supported them so I decided I should too.

He turned out to be a proper - a few months later I smuggled some opal fruits in to school, which was heavily against the rules. The little b*****d ate half the pack with me and then went and grassed me up to the deputy head.

Stuck with spurs though

I take it is no longer your mate.

Most of the Spurs fans I know in London's closest club is not Spurs.

If you do not live next to the ground it does not mean you are a glory supporter. Football is a world wide business. If you didn't have fans from around the world your revenue would be hit big time.

Any normal fan would want more fans to support their club

Starting supporting Spurs as a kid. 1991 cup final done it for me, well that and the style of play.
