We are Tottenham Hotspur

Thank you Paul Coyte for this great ode to our great club

We are…
The lilywhite shirt
The walk up the High Road
Our Dads telling us about The Double
Jonathan Woodgate in extra time AND
Christian Eriksen’s curling free kick
We are Smith, Chivers and Defoe from 30 yards AND
Alfie Conn sitting on the ball
Dave Mackay grabbing Billy Bremner
The first British team to win a European Trophy
We’re Harry Kane as he’s one of our own and
We are Bill Nick as he is us.
We are Pat Jennings' ginormous hands and
Ricky Villa’s twists and turns and
Ralph Coates combover
We are McNamara’s Band and
Tottenham’s regeneration
Jimmy Greaves waltzing through defenders.
We are.. “Everywhere We Go”
We are Ginola because “We are worth It”
We are Shelfside, we are Paxton, we are Park Lane
We’re Steve Perryman’s face as the fan kisses him lifting the cup
Klinnsman’s dive and Park’s penalty save
Chas and Dave on Top of the Pops
We are Glenn, Gazza and Gareth and
The last minute winner
We are Hugo’s Leap
The Bell and Hare and the Bricklayers
Led-ley Led-ley, he’s only got one knee.
We are Push and Run and
Keano’s cartwheel
The old smell of slim panatelas
The Dave Clark 5 AND Adele
Ossie’s Trembly Knees
Gary Mabbutt’s skip on to the pitch
The all white strip under the lights
We are “All about glory, about doing things in style, with a flourish, about going out and beating the other lot, not waiting for them to die with boredom.”
We are Danny Blanchflower
We are the cockerel on the ball.
We are Pochetino’s Blue and White Army
Wherever you are in the world, we are family
We are Proud
We are Tottenham Hotspur
