Tottenham Hotspur news

Spurs are a club with a proud tradition in the cup competitions and have managed to win a trophy in each of the last six decades – a feat only matched by Manchester United.

Tottenham have won the FA Cup eight times, while they were the first British club to win a European trophy when they lifted the Uefa Cup Winners Cup in 1963.

The Lilywhites have also won two Uefa cups but there form in the league has been poor and they have not won the old first division title since 1961.

Spaniard Juande Ramos is the club’s manager after he replaced Martin Jol halfway through last season and he brought immediate success to White Hart Lane when defeating Chelsea in the Carling Cup Final.

Spurs are optimistic they can build on that success in the 2008/09 campaign and are looking to break into the top four which will bring the Champions League football they crave.

Prominent players in the squad for 2008/09 season include: David Bentley, Giovanni Dos Santos, Luka Modric and Dimitar Berbatov, while heroes of the past include Gary Lineker, Glenn Hoddle and Paul Gascoigne.
