February started with Fortress White Hart Lane being breached. Leicester would become the first side to take two points away with them and only Tottenham’s third defeat of the season.  In the 29th minute City took the lead with a shot from the edge of the box. Les Allen leveled things five minutes later after a pass from Jones. City fought back and a couple of minutes later a high ball in to the box was pushed on to the Spurs crossbar and the rebound bundled home.

It will not have escaped your notice that we are about to enter the year of the Cockerel on the Chinese calendar an event that occurs every 12 years and this year it starts on 28th January.
The common belief is that Tottenham flourish during this time, so I told a quick look back at what has happened in the previous ‘Cockerel years.’

Today marks what would have been Bill Nicholson’s 98th birthday and thus a suitable opportunity to reflect on some of the many words of wisdom from the great man who helped create the Tottenham we know today. 

Its interesting, no matter how much the game has changed, just how many of these have stood the test of time.

A Talking Tottenham special. We have been celebrating White Hart Lane all season  and this time we see the ground through the eyes of the artists.
So if you have a few moments to take a short diversion please join us.

Welcome to the new set of 'Every picture tells a story' where we look out some Spurs related pictures from over the years which deserve another airing. So hopefully these will either be new to you or ones that you haven't seen for a while. This set ranges from last year to a hundred years ago.

With a little trivia thrown in.

Today we open the third celebrity fan box. Over the last year I’ve collected another set of ‘names’ who  are believed to be Tottenham supporters, past and present, many of whom have been suggested by you the readers to join the ‘names’ featured in the two previous gatherings.
I confess my ignorance in some cases but thank you for your contributions. There is the usual mixture of thespians, musicians, politicians, sports stars and various areas of the arts.

Cecil Poynton served Tottenham for fifty years and was a key component of the clubs Double success. Spending most of his adult life with the club, first as a player, then later as trainer and finally physiotherapist.
He represented the FA and later ‘his magic hands’ also saw service for England.

As several previous collections of cartoons centering around Spurs have proved popular I thought you might enjoy a short diversion to examine a collection of some of the 'artistic' worlds view of Spurs across the years.

Starting with our own Christian Eriksen.
Plus a little trivia to fill in the gaps.

Following our successful series looking at the history of Tottenham's match day kits Tony Sealey now turns his attention to the games where Spurs have wore 'unique kits' for various reasons across the ages. 

On FA Cup Third Round day we remember the year when the weather wreaked havoc with the sporting calendar and in particular the Cup for that season. In the coldest winter in more than 200 years the clubs and fans struggled with the chaos.

First I’m going to put a jumper on and turn the clock back to 1963 and it was snow joke being a goalkeeper.

The Gallery where we serve up another collection of great photos from across the years with a Spurs theme. This time its the FA Cup that comes into our viewfinder.
As usual I've tried to find some that you may not have seen, or at least recently, so we do tend to look back rather than more recent pictures that have been scattered across social media and the internet.

When Tottenham won the Cup in 1967 to go with third place in the table it was to cap a marvelous season that saw us playing some splendid football.  From a year that carries many personal memories as I clocked up endless train/coach miles we look back at that Cup campaign that finished with our third Cup win in seven seasons.
