Top 5 most famous Tottenham Hotspur fan chants
Nicknamed the ‘Lilywhites’, Tottenham Hotspur were founded in 1882, with the club one of the most successful not only in London but across the world. Although Tottenham have failed to win some of the most prestigious trophies in recent times, Spurs have a rich history of success. Tottenham were the first-ever team to lift the UEFA Cup, which was established in 1971 while they were also the first British team to win a major European trophy – a record they achieved when they won the European Cup Winners’ Cup in 1963.
The club’s first-ever home ground was Tottenham marshes, which eventually became the home ground of their arch-rivals Arsenal. However, Tottenham soon had a new ground called White Hart Lane as the club played their first official game there more than 120 years ago in 1899. Spurs have had some incredible memories at that stadium, but the club have now officially moved to their new stadium called the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, which is one of the largest football stadiums in England.
Fans of the Lilywhites have flocked to support their stadium throughout the years and have had some incredible chants to support their team through good as well as bad times. Let us now have a look at Tottenham Hotspur’s top five fan chants with lyrics.
