Spurs Gifts – Tottenham’s No.1 Fan
Tottenham Hotspur are a Premier League football team from North London and are more commonly referred to as Spurs. They currently play at White Hart Lane which has a capacity of 36,000. The ‘Hotspur’ name is associated with Harry Percival, who was also Harry Hotspur from Shakespeare’s Henry IV Part 1. Percival was believed to own land in the neighbourhood. These days Tottenham play in white and dark blue kits with a hint of yellow. The team’s crest is a cockerel standing on a football and their motto is ‘Audere est Facere’ which means ‘To Do Is To Dare’.
Tottenham’s biggest rivals are north London neighbours Arsenal, matches between the two teams are some of the most highly charged of the season and are known as ‘North London derbies’.
