Just interested in learning what made you guys a Spurs fan.
My story's easy.
My dads a life long fan, as was his dad. I didn't get a say in it. He tells me my first word was Spurs. I switch to Leeds once, when I was a kid. I came home from school and told my dad now I support Leeds (I had all their team in my Panninni sticker book). I ripped out the Leeds pages, put me in the back of his cab and drove me to the shop and bought 20 quids worth of stickers until I had the rest of the Spurs team. Done and done. I grew up in a street full of Arsenal fans and with stories of the double team.

Very proud family tradition 4 generations .
My Uncle bought me some shares in Tottenham when I was very young. I grew up with the certificate on my bedroom wall and when the time came to pledge my allegiance, I chose the mighty Spurs! My old man was gutted he wanted me to follow Leeds (dodged a bullet there I reckon!)
Dad was born and bred in Tottenham.
Before i get into football, about 10/11 years old, i chose arsenal, to annoy my dad..yes I know..
Kinda stopped watching football for about a year, arsenal didn't interest me. So my dad took me to a spurs game (Cant remember what..). Ever since then, I've been a fan
Dad's a Spurs fan, although my grandad was a West Ham fan.
My Dad, Grandad had trials with Spurs and Chavs. Grandad was a huge fan, didnt play because he earnt more money working in a factory, such a shame.
My Grandads cousin (im sure they are cousins or something like 2nd cousins) played pro football though, you may of heard of him, Gerry Francis.

When i was a sprog (Ahem) i actually liked manure.
Then came the late 60s and i happened to go see Spurs, v Leeds i think - Jack Charlton, Gary Sprake, Lorimer etc, a good side way back when.
Anyway long story short i`ve been Tottenham ever since and always will be no matter what happens to the club good or bad.
Oh just for the record that Leeds game was 1 - 1

My dad supported Arsenal and Exeter because he was born in London and then played for Exeter City. But somehow I ended up being a spurs fan when I was very young and he gave me a lot of stick for that.
I have a bit of a different scenario. When I became interested in football, I just started to watch whatever games I happened to be able to find... living in the US this is usually Chelsea or Man U. I decided I wanted to adopt a team as my own, so I started to think about what team I wanted to root for. I quickly decided I didn't want to root for one of the "big" teams because they are too much like the New York Yankees. I then decided to root for a London team, as it was the only place in England where I have spent much time. From there... I picked Spurs largely because of Robbie Keane and I have been a fan since.
My Dad supported them, his Dad supported them.
Football is my religion,
White Hart Lane is my church.
1987 FA cup final ..... we lost 3-2 to coventry !!! i started supporting spurs then .
it seemed all my mates were supporting manure and the bin dippers !!! thanks but no thanks.
"The great fallacy is that the game is first and foremost about winning. It's nothing of the kind. The game is about glory. It's about doing things in style, with a flourish, about going out and beating the other lot, not waiting for them to die of boredom."

I was Born in Enfield(a Spurs Area).
When i was 4 we moved to Hoddesdon ,Herts(another big Spurs Area)My Dad was Tottenham his Dad was Tottenham, my older brother was Tottenham, all my Mums brothers were Tottenham.....You get the picture
first football sticker i got when i was about 4 was a spurs program. didnt even know what it was but i chose it, and i've never looked back.
I was born in Philip Lane near Seven Sisters, moved when I was young and have supported Spurs all my life (50 odd years) - I used to go to WHL a lot in the 70's then stopped for a while now regular with ParkLaneMal - my mate from work.
I'm YID thru and thru !!
My dad took me to the Lane in the early 60's. So I have seen a few players come and go. Both my kids are Yids. My daughter has been going since she was 14, she is now 29 and is also a season ticket holder and my son is Park Lane Yid.
