Tottenham may have a good omen on their side when it comes to the Europa League final in Bilbao tonight.
Spurs are playing in their second European final in six years, but will be hoping to banish the memories of that night in madrid when they went down to a 2-0 defeat to Liverpool in the Champions League.
Once again in Spain, this time in San Mames, Bilbao, Spurs will take on another English side in Manchester United for the right to be crowned Europa League champions. With it comes a spot in next season's Champions League.
It will be the third time in six European finals that Tottenham have faced another English team, having beaten Wolves in this competition - then called the UEFA Cup - in 1972.
Spurs last lifted a trophy in 2007/08 season, when club legend Ledley King lifted the League Cup. That's a 17-year trophy drought that any Spurs supporter reading this will not need reminding off.
The last time Spurs held a European trophy aloft was much longer ago. It was 41 years ago in 1984 - they year this journalist was born - that stand-in captain Graham Roberts held the UEFA Cup aloft.
It has been far too long for one of England's biggest clubs not to have won any sort of silverware, either domestically, or internationally.
And the omen on Spurs' side tonight is that a number of English clubs have already shown them the way this season.
Newcastle United ended a 56-year trophy drought by winning the Carabao Cup this season. Then, three months later, Crystal Palace went and ended a trophy drought that stretched back to their formation, by winning their first ever trophy, beating Manchester City to lift the FA Cup.
Two English teams have gone on and ended trophy droughts in the two competitions open to them. Tottenham can now do the same by beating Manchester United in Bilbao tonight.
