This account has gone quiet mostly because of the excellent work by actual Spurs historians on Bluesky such as Gareth.
His new pod is a great listen and is suitable for old and new Tottenham fans regardless of whether they’ve read his books.

On this Spurs yesterday in…2025
On this Spurs Day in the 90s (ish)…in 2000 despite huge apathy towards the team, manager and chairman we scored 7 against Southampton but no-one left feeling particularly happy!

I set myself a goal at the start of February to celebrate the creations of Spurs fans every day of the month.
No matter what happens with Spurs, football, or the world, the support and love we show each other is ours to control.
Today’s recognition is for the Spurs Bluesky community 🤍

Seems like a good time step up and share this beauty of an ‘OTD’: in 2002 we beat Chelsea 5-1 in a remarkable Worthington Cup semi final second leg: thfcdb.com/matches/2001...
I’m running on fumes so @spurshistory.bsky.social will take a little break.
Sorry for not being able to keep it going at a decent pace.
Thanks to everyone who follows the account. It’ll be back soon.

J. NICHOLLS (Goalkeeper) TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR. High or low they are all alice to the League's tall- est goalkeeper, who never missed a match for his club last season. A former guardsman, as cool as a cucumber, and can throw the ball further than most can kick it.
📆 On this day in 1927, Spurs ‘A’ team hosted Arsenal and beat them 12-2!
Tottenham goalkeeper Joe Nicholls even scored from the penalty spot!
COYS!

2-0 loss to Manchester United. 2-0 win to Spurs in terms of handsomeness.
