Find out how our founding schoolboys started their journey to forming Hotspur FC in 1882 and their subsequent lives in detail. Their stories are told here in honour to their memory and their legacy!
This page will take you on a journey through yesteryear from the very beginning to the current day. Telling the stories of those who helped shape the club - Some well known and others not so. I believe every one of them deserves their story to be told.
Here you can read all about our young men who shaped those early years as we faced challenge after challenge from the High Road to the Tottenham Marshes - And many of them were still in the classroom!
Born in Tottenham on 17th October 1868 Robert Buckle is a name you will see time and time again at every move and with every decision. His vision for a football club was beyond his years and his home address, White Cottage on White Hart Lane, was used as the clubs first headquarters. From his bedroom a 14 year old Buckle would hand write the most beautiful invitations and send them out to those he wished to represent Hotspur FC.
Our glorious history deserves to be told!
The history of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club is one of highs and lows much like any other club. However, the highs have been forgotten somewhat in the modern day and it is the job of those with a keen interest in our history to ensure they are passed down to our younger supporters.

I am passionate about our clubs history and telling supporters, old and new, about our wonderful past. From the schoolboys who founded the club on the Tottenham High Road to the present day you will find this page full of information about the people who have made the club what it is today.
