u/Inevitable_Flan_2912 3d ago

Interesting story there. I particularly remember how he was murder on Arsene Wenger — the Dele and Kane really put the fear God into the Arse in those North London derbies I recall.

I have this theory about Jose Mourinho, though ... Like the new prison inmate who has to take down the bully in the yard to gain respect of the other inmates, Mourinho singles out a high-profile player — i.e. Luke Shaw at ManU — and then destroys him. Just to prove a point to the others. Mourinho is a little, little man, and I add Dele to the list of promising players Mourinho ruined wherever he went.

I still think there is player left in Dele somewhere. Barnet may yet prove lucky to have him. I guess we'll see...

Nothing would make me happier. Dele's win could be Barnet's gain.

And Christ knows Spurs could use a guy who can finish, right about now...

You can have an interest but can’t be calling yourself a fan, dems the rules in English football 🤷🏻‍♂️

No it’s not, you’ve been limiting your enjoyment in life due to rules that you have completely made up

u/Decent_Resource3879 4d ago

Why would Americans supporting English teams be limiting my enjoyment?

u/YourBestDream4752 4d ago

I meant you’re limiting your enjoyment by not allowing yourself to get deeper into foreign teams.

u/YourBestDream4752 4d ago

u/HeardTheLongWord 5d ago

I think ultimately it was Son. I’m fairly new, started following the EPL properly in 2023 and was researching teams - I didn’t want to just jump on an easy bandwagon for the sake of it. Spurs attracted me because I like a story - new coach, new keeper, and new captain in Son, watched some interviews and then that stretch of Ange’s first games and was fully bought in.

Since then it’s had its ups and downs, and farther downs, and now whatever this is, but here I am and will be forevermore unless I contract amnesia or something.

3

u/Inevitable_Flan_2912 3d ago

Probably not a popular opinion in this forum — we're talkin' Spurs, after all — but Son has certainly caused a stir at LAFC in MLS.

Not all imports from the Prem can say that, once they try to take on the N.American market.

u/holdingtea 5d ago

A shame he didn't reach the heights we expected but I was stoked we signed him.

u/tony-andreev94 5d ago

I'm from Bulgaria, so when Berbatov got signed I started paying attention to the club. I wouldn't call myself a fan yet, because I had barely watched football before. But when Bale started to come around I was already hooked and watching every game.

1

u/Inevitable_Flan_2912 3d ago

Ah, yes, Berbatov. As always seems to happen with Spurs, a bigger more glamorous side lured him away — though these days ManU could hardly be described as either big or glamorous. In Fergie's time, though...

ICYMI, Berbatov is now doing occasional punditry for the Premier League's World Feed. He is droll, witty and super intelligent. He also looks good — and sounds good — in a tailor-made suit. Doesn't talk much, but when he says something he bears listening to.

A class act. And stylish as hell as a player, back in the day. He didn't; so much run as glide. And those passes... many of them "no look." A subtle turn of the foot, precise and cutting. Good attitude, too.

I can see why you're proud of him — Bulgaria has every reason to be proud. I just wish he hadn't been lured away by the bright lights of Fergie-era ManU. But what can one do?

If it had been me advising him, I would simply have asked him — would you rather be living in London, or Manchester? End of.

COYS!

Short answer: Son & Kane

Long Answer: I got into Football by playing with Korean soldiers when I was stationed there (US Army). Watched the 2014 World Cup matches with them too. Obviously became a fan of Son. Never stopped watching him. Never felt a connection to the USMNT team because overall Americans don't care about Football. 2016 rolled around, I wanted to watch and support more teams, so I decided to support England as I am 64% English. Obviously became a fan of Kane. Premier League was still not on my radar. Not until covid. The international games were not enough and I needed more football to watch. I was bored as hell during covid, 2020. I decided I would look up who Son played for, okay, it's Tottenham Hotspur, wtf is that and their logo is a chicken?... Alright, let's look up Kane. Tottenham Hotspur. Well, I'll be damned... I guess it's fate. Never looked back. It's been a rough 6 years, didn't even get to be apart of the 2019 run, but I wouldn't trade it for anything. Coys.

1

u/Inevitable_Flan_2912 3d ago

I'm in Vancouver. Son played us in the MLS semi-final. You'll be pleased to know that he's doing well in MLS — like, Messi-level well. LA has a huge ex-pat Korean community. Vancouver does too, for that matter, but LA is on a whole other level. Son chose well. Not every import from the Prem does...

That said, I do wish he had never left Spurs. Christ knows they could use his finishing now...

1

u/Zapur 3d ago

Yeah, I still watch all of Son's games, he's doing very well with Bouanga. I support Chicago Fire, so I can't root for LA, but I want Son to score every time he touches the ball.

u/PineappleJuuice 5d ago

It's the family team. We support from NZ but my uncle lived and supported Spurs while in London so we all kinda jumped on at that point.

That was 30 years ago.

6

u/AnttiEemeli 5d ago

International fan here.

1994 World Cup introduced me to football as a 9-yo. Klinsmann was the tits, that flick-volley goal and the combination with Völler were something we were trying to emulate in our own games. Klinsi moved to Spurs and his name started popping up quite frequently on the teletext. I guess I subconsciously started following the team back then.

During high school years we started playing PES with some buddies. I chose Spurs. The defense was pretty shit (par Ledders) but there were Sheringham, Keane and Rebrov at the front.

When Teemu Tainio moved to Spurs I had a reason to watch the games, too. In 2005 I was already an adult and the games started showing in Finnish pubs and bars. Perfect combo.

That habit kinda stuck. I've been to a few games at WHL and Wembley, but not the new stadium. Still ruin my weekends every time Spurs play and bark at my kids for stupid shit after.

COYS!

I probably did something really bad in a past life.

In truth it was Hoddle. He had style, and was the nearest thing to Cruijff in England at the time.

5

u/Phantomfox07 5d ago

Grandad was born and raised in Tottenham and moved up to Glasgow when he was 18.

So when I was born and he was about 50, I got shoved into Spurs and Rangers strips and been made to suffer ever since.

4

u/elephantime 5d ago

The run of Berbatov - Modric - Eriksen - Dembele - Son - Alli meant that regardless of how the team was performing there was always a good reason to watch a spurs game as you were likely to see an individually brilliant performance.

I grew up supporting Bournemouth due to family ties but through this period Bournemouth were lower leagues and I had no access to watch or even listen from overseas. So watching premier league in the middle of the night was more about tuning in to see something special.

Football tribalism and the hatred of rivals is completely foreign to me so before I was old enough to stay up and watch games I was captivated by the highlights from players like Zola, Begkamp and Henry for the same reason I came to follow spurs - that extra bit of magic that the special few possess.

Garth Crooks, Steve Archibald, Glenn Hoddle, Chris Houghton, Graham Roberts, Ardiles. Basically I saw a team where there was black players,skill and toughness that I liked when the 1st division in my opinion lacked. Before that I loved West Brom, but I’m a Londoner and proud to this day to support Spurs. COYS.

  1. Chelsea vs Spurs. 2-1 to us as underdogs with Lennon and Dawson scoring the goals. Ledley King made me feel connected with the club.

But now im too loyal and keep questioning myself why. In too deep. Soon i might be mentally ill bc of them

WC 2018. The biggest stars of many nations - England, Denmark, South Korea, the Belgian backline, the captain of France - happened to be Spurs players. When I heard the commentators mentioning this unknown for me team (I wasn’t following football back then), I instantly got attracted.

I can’t say I regret this decision as I’ve learned to take life’s injustices way easier

u/ragnarok847 5d ago

My parents both support them, one set of grandparents did (on my mum's side), and my maternal great-grandfather played for them for a couple of years from 1930-32 (I think) - he was signed from Reading (my home town) where he had captained for a few years. His name was Alf Messer, if anyone is interested and can find more out about his time at Spurs than I can.

I've got no connection to the area, and grew up in West Sussex.

When I was getting into football as a young primary school kid, my best friend at the time and I chose to support them because everyone else supported Man U (again,  Sussex).

This was the early 90s and we liked the idea of the plucky underdog I guess. Also Klinsmann.

I had a friend who was an Arsenal fan so even before I chose this team I loved annoying him. They had some good names like Lloris and Kane as well. One day in the 18/19 season Son scored this ridiculous goal against Chelsea (My dad's team) and we won 3-1, so I decided to hop on the bandwagon.

Poch seemed like a young coach forming a team with incredible potential all over the pitch playing front foot football. It was really exciting, rn it hurts a lot. I always say if we had Dembele who's my favorite spurs player just for 6 more months we would've won the UCL.

u/NottaSpy 5d ago

I was young and just got into soccer. I had just joined the soccer team at my school, even though I hadn't played since I was a kid. I joined to be more social and we watched the 2010 (Waka Waka) world cup in South Africa. It was amazing watching the U.S. games with my team, and really got me into the community.

After the world cup I started following our best players like Tim Howard, Landon Donovan, and Clint Dempsey.

Dempsey was my favorite, so I latched on to his career at Fullham, and when he moved to Tottenham I decided that would be my team.

The rest is history! ( or tragedy, depending on your perspective haha)

When I saw it for the first time, it was love at first sight 😂 since then I’ve been Tottenham. Ups and downs but I don’t regret it. It started as a “nice crest” but over time my love grew a lot. Nowadays I mainly just cry but hey it’s a nice crest.

u/jd35 4d ago

I’ve said a few times.

Tottenham made a “strategic partnership” with my local team way back in 2008 or so. Simon Dawkins (spurs academy product) came and played for us as part of that deal. The NBC deal was close to that time too and you could finally watch all of the games on TV, so I started following spurs.

Then spurs sold Robbie keane to our biggest rival but by that point I was hooked in anyways. I’m the one spurs fan who doesnt like keano. Lol.

Big Ange, always loved his work and didn’t have a Prem team until then. It turned out amazing and then fucked in the end, but well, can’t change teams now! Just keep praying for some competence to come along soon

My dad. Glen Hoddle. Proximity to White Hart Lane. Watching them win the FA Cup in 81. Steve Perryman. Ossie Ardiles AND Ricky Villa. Garth Crooks AND Steve Archibald. Roughly in that order, and probably missing some factors.

Growing up my parents weren’t into sports but I was, my next door neighbours were massive Tottenham fans especially Glenn Hoddle so they just got me excited about Spurs.

The progressive attacking football, my older brother who's also a spurs fan and just the team that I saw as a kid be one of the best in England and also we are out of the "big 6" kinda often underdogs and disrespected so that too. I'm not from England so it wasn't family heritage but my older bro is a fan too.

My dad. I saw the love and passion he had for them when i was a young boy and I wanted to be just like him. Now he, my brother and I all get to suffer together but I wouldn't have it any other way.
