Women of the Lane celebrates one-year anniversary - Tottenham Hotspur
Description

Official Supporters’ Association for women supporters of the Men’s team, Women of the Lane, this week held a special event, hosted by the Club, to mark their recent one-year anniversary.

The event featured a Q&A session for fans in attendance with a panel that included Guglielmo Vicario, accompanied by his mother Monica, as well as Club Ambassador Ledley King and Executive Director Donna-Maria Cullen.

Monica Vicario has become a popular figure amongst our supporters, regularly seen cheering her son on at matches and recently featuring in an emotional documentary about her son’s comeback and recovery from a fractured ankle earlier in the season.

The panel discussed the importance of having a supporters’ group dedicated to women supporters, as well as touching on the achievements of the group in its first year, which includes:

Reaching 600 active members

Organising matchday meet-ups where members walk to and from public transport drop-offs to matches

Working with both the Club and other women supporters’ groups to raise the voice of women fans across the game

The panel also spoke on the importance of providing an inclusive atmosphere at football matches and shared examples of women who have helped shape their career and influenced their approach to leadership and community.

Our support for Women of the Lane forms part of the Club’s wider commitment to inclusivity and providing a safe environment for women and girls.

In August 2023, we became the first Premier League club to sign the Mayor of London’s Women’s Night Safety Charter, helping to ensure the capital is a place where all women should be able to feel confident and welcome at night.

Club and Women of the Lane representatives also recently joined Haringey’s ‘Walk for Women’, an annual event held on White Ribbon Day to raise awareness of the work being done to tackle violence against women and girls locally.

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is also the first ever Fair Change accredited venue, offering fully accessible baby changing facilities to all caregivers, regardless of gender, with nine accessible bathrooms located across every stand.

History | Five stunning strikes in front of The Kop - Tottenham Hotspur
Description

Anfield is a notoriously tough place to get a result - we, famously, went 73 years without a win there, a run ended in 1985 - but we've certainly had our moments in recent years.

Ahead of our latest trip to Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday (4.30pm), here are five absolute belters we've scored in front of The Kop...

Glenn Hoddle - Liverpool 3-1 Spurs - 15/5/1982

Okay, we're starting this rundown with a loss - but what a goal, and what a day at Anfield...

In fact, what a season. We played 66 matches in all competitions in 1981/82, 42 as we finished fourth in Division One, eight as we reached the final of the League Cup - beaten by Liverpool in the final - another eight as we reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup - beaten by Barcelona - and seven as we retained the FA Cup, beating QPR in a replay in our final match of the campaign on 27 May! We also kicked-off the season by sharing the Charity Shield with Villa in August.

Liverpool and Ipswich Town were battling it out for the title - and our last two league matches were at Anfield, followed by Bobby Robson's Ipswich at the Lane on the final day.

Liverpool were just ahead and needed a win to secure the championship as we stepped out at Anfield. But with the title on the line, Glenn Hoddle stunned The Kop after 27 minutes. Picking up the ball from Ricky Villa fully 40 yards out, the maestro took a stride forward and simply thundered a volley past Bruce Grobbelaar into the top corner. It was so good, described as 'beautiful' in commentary by John Motson, that it drew applause from the home fans.

It would be Liverpool's day though, as second half goals from Mark Lawrenson, Kenny Dalglish and Ronnie Whelan saw Liverpool to their sixth title in 10 seasons. They'd go on to triumph again in 82/83, 83/84, 85/86, 87/88 and 89/90 - such was their dominance at the time - before a 30-year gap and their 19th title in 2019/20.

Jurgen Klinsmann - Liverpool 1-2 Spurs - 11/3/1995

Jurgen Klinsmann was dreaming of a Wembley final - but we were drawn a tough quarter-final against Liverpool in March, 1995. Liverpool took the lead via Robbie Fowler on 38 minutes but we struck back before half-time. David Howells threaded a pass from deep for Klinsmann, who controlled superbly before rolling into the path of Teddy Sheringham, and the finish was unerring, a curling, side-foot effort that pinged home off the post.

Klinsmann's magic moment arrived with two minutes to go. Darren Anderton won possession and Sheringham cleverly guided the ball into the path of the German legend breaking into the box from the left, the finish, again, clinical, clipping over David James and home.

Klinsmann and Sheringham were electric that season - 52 goals between them, all competitions - and Klinsmann later voted Footballer of the Year by the Football Writers' Association, but that Wembley dream was shattered by Everton in the semi-finals. However, a year later, he would be at Wembley, first denying England (and former team-mates Anderton and Sheringham) and then beating Czech Republic to win Euro 96 with Germany.

Erik Edman - Liverpool 2-2 Spurs - 16/4/2005

Before Dejan Kulusevski and Lucas Bergvall, there was only one Swedish international at Spurs - Erik Edman. And the defender snapped up from Heerenveen in the summer of 2004 delivered a goal that, to this day, he's still reminded of (probably around now by fans on social media) as he continues to coach Hittarps IK, a team local to him just outside Helsingborg.

We went to Anfield in April, 2005 in a season of transition. We'd had a tough start, and five defeats in six saw us slip to 14th. Martin Jol took over and began those shoots of recovery with six wins in seven taking us up to sixth on New Year's Day.

Liverpool, meanwhile, had just toppled Juventus to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League. They would then beat Chelsea and Milan in that famous 2005 final, coming from 3-0 down to win on penalties.

With Michael Dawson making his debut, this was a typical end-to-end encounter between the teams with Edman spectacularly leaving his mark after just 12 minutes. A short corner was cleared and collected by Erik on the centre-circle. He took about 10 steps forward before unleashing a rocket into the top corner, leaving Jerzy Dudek clutching at thin air.

Luis Garcia levelled for Liverpool but we regained the lead in the second half when Robbie Keane's header diverted home off Jamie Carragher. Steven Gerrard then missed a penalty, Sami Hyypia levelled at 2-2 and Gerrard hit the post late on. We ended the season with two defeats in nine and finished a creditable ninth - the season after, we'd challenge for Champions League qualification.

Rafa van der Vaart - Liverpool 0-2 Spurs - 15/5/2011

Rafa van der Vaart scored some fantastic goals in just two seasons as a Spur - here was arguably his best to spark us to victory at Anfield and European qualification.

It had been a memorable season - our first in the Champions League, and all those memories - Young Boys, Inter, AC Milan, Real Madrid - but we suffered a blow in May as defeat at Manchester City ended hopes of finishing in the top four.

We travelled to Anfield with Liverpool needing a win to secure fifth. As it turned out, our first win at Anfield since 1993 moved us into pole position for fifth ourselves, a place we clinched with victory over Birmingham City on the season's final day.

Harry Redknapp's team came out fighting and took the lead on nine minutes via Rafa's wonder strike in front of the Kop. Luka Modric's corner was cleared out to him on the edge of the box, his dipping volley sailed over Pepe Reina and into the top corner, a thing of beauty. Modric's penalty saw us home in the second half. A week later, Roman Pavlyuchenko's double off the bench against Birmingham, including a late, late winner, secured that fifth place ahead of the Reds.

Victor Wanyama - Liverpool 2-2 Spurs - 4/2/2018

There are rockets - and then there's Victor Wanyama's rocket in this extraordinary clash at Anfield in February, 2018.

Trailing 1-0 to Mo Salah's early strike, Wanyama set up one of the most dramatic finales to a match in recent memory with a thunderbolt in the 80th minute. The popular Kenyan actually started the move by switching play to Christian Eriksen on the left. Eriksen's cross brought a flying punch clear from goalkeeper Loris Karius, but the ball bounced into the path of Wanyama, who strolled onto it and smashed a piledriver that travelled like a bullet into the top corner, unstoppable.

That made it 1-1, and it looked for all the world we'd go on to win when Harry Kane was brought down by Karius for a penalty in the 85th minute. However, Karius saved the spot-kick and then Liverpool regained the lead with a stunning solo effort from Salah at the start of injury time.

Incredibly, it wasn't over. Referee Jon Moss pointed to the spot again when Virgil van Dijk challenged Erik Lamela and, with the clock reading 90+5, Kane kept his nerve in front of The Kop to plant the ball in the bottom corner - his 100th Premier League goal.

Fifth when we travelled to Anfield, we went on to win eight of our last 12, including beating rivals Arsenal and Chelsea, to finished third in the Premier League.

Anfield '85 - a win 73 years in the making...

Spurs stories | Anfield '85 - a win 73 years in the making... - Tottenham Hotspur
Description

Last month - 16 March - marked 40 years since one of the Club’s great hoodoos was ended at Anfield.

Era after era of Spurs teams were reminded that we hadn’t won at Liverpool’s famous home since March, 1912.

That extended to our ‘push and run’ team that lifted the title in 1951, Bill Nicholson’s double-winning greats of the early 1960s, Bill’s trophy-laden team of the early 1970s and onto Keith Burkinshaw's double FA Cup and UEFA Cup winners of the early 1980s.

The saying was that we hadn’t won at Anfield since the Titanic had sunk - but that all ended under Peter Shreeves in 1985, incredibly on the same date that we’d last won all those years ago, 16 March.

It was the day we finally toppled the all-conquering Reds - champions of Division One (as it was then, before the Premier League era) six times in the 1980s (1980, '82, '83, '84, '86 and '88), European Cup winners twice (1981, ’84) - at Anfield.

As we prepare to make the trip to Merseyside again on Sunday (4.30pm UK), we turn the clock back to 2018 and a conversation with three legends who all played that day - Mark Falco, Micky Hazard and Paul Miller.

What was it like to play against Liverpool at Anfield in the 1980s?

Paul: “It was quite intimidating, hostile.”

Mark: “And that started from when we got off the coach!”

Micky: “It’s strange though, they were the best team in Europe at that time, but we also had a great team and every time we went there, I thought we were going to win. I loved playing at Anfield.”

Mark: “We always gave them a good game.”

Paul: “We were going for the title that season and beat them home and away in the league. We also knocked them out of the League Cup and I think they knocked us out of the FA Cup. To beat Liverpool home and away was some achievement in those days. Anyway, we watched the Anfield ’85 game back on TV and we must have caught them offside 39 times. We kept counting. As a team, we played fantastic on the day. We got it all right. To beat Liverpool in those days you had to get everything right.”

It’s always said that the Anfield crowd - even if quite intimidating in those days - were appreciative of good football from their opponents. Did you find that?

Micky: “I always felt that while Liverpool fans always tried to make it intimidating for you, they applauded good football and at the end of the game, if you did well, they applauded you.”

Paul: “I remember we once went up there and they sang ‘Happy Birthday’ to my mum on the Kop. I think I’d mentioned her birthday to Clem (Ray Clemence) and it must have happened through him. They announced it on the tannoy at Anfield!”

Micky: “They are knowledgeable fans. They know their football and we were such a good footballing side. People appreciated us wherever we played and enjoyed watching us play.”

Mark: “It was tough there though, the crowd did well for them at Anfield.”

As players, were you aware of the 73-year ‘hoodoo’?

All: “Oh yes!”

Mark: “Yes, of course, every time we played there it was rammed down our throats, every year!”

Paul: “To be fair, Liverpool gave us a case of champagne in the dressing room afterwards, so they did it the right way.”

Liverpool were spearheaded by one of the great strike partnerships - Kenny Dalglish and Ian Rush. Defensively, how did you try to deal with them?

Mark: “You obviously catch them offside 39 times!”

Paul: “I have to be honest, whenever people speak about the best partnerships we played against, they would be right up there, probably number one. Kenny made half of Rushy’s goals, he was one the finest players to ever play the game and Rush was deadly in front of goal. We learnt to play against them over the years and got better against them. Our midfield closed their midfield down and made sure they didn’t have the space to look up and make the passes.”

Micky: “Yes, we didn’t have too much to worry about – just Souness, Whelan, Molby, Nicol..!”

Mark: “You just had to be brave, turn up at Anfield and have the attitude ‘we’re here to play’.”

Micky: “We beat them quite a lot. We beat them in the League Cup (1-0 in the third round) that season…”

Paul: “We played Liverpool in the League Cup Final in 1982 and should have won that. We were 1-0 up, missed chances, including a great chance in the last minute. We ended up losing in extra time. They knew how to win.”

What has to be said is that we had a great team as well at that time - two-times FA Cup winners, UEFA Cup, but the title eluded us...

Mark: “It’s the biggest regret that we didn’t win the league when really we should have. You can always say ‘could, should, would’, but we really should have that season.”

Micky: “We played great football and Liverpool cost us two titles.”

Paul: “The weather also cost us in ’85 and we ended up with too many injuries.”

Mark: “We had three games a week for most of the second half of the season. We’d reached the fourth round of the League Cup (five games) and the FA Cup (three games), were in the chase for the league and still in Europe (we played Real Madrid home and away in March 1985 as well) and you have to remember there were no big squads and rotation in those days. The pitches were heavy as well. It was tough.”

Micky: “We were well capable of turning them over. My only regret in football is not winning the title that season when we were more than good enough.”

Getting to know | Erin Radbourne - Tottenham Hotspur
Description

Appearing first and exclusively in this season’s official matchday programme, we get to know our Women Under-21s players.

Taking on the Q&A this time is Erin Radbourne, who joined the Club's Academy in the summer of 2023 from MK Dons and has progressed from our Under-16s squad to the Under-21s and, during the current campaign, the goalkeeper has been involved in our Barclays Women's Super League matchday squads.

We sat down with Erin to find out a little more about her…

First started training with Spurs?

“I first joined Spurs in July, 2023, and I came from MK Dons.”

Favourite food?

“I would have to go with steak and sweet potato fries.”

Any pets?

“I don’t have any pets, but I would like a dog.”

Favourite memory as a football fan?

“It wasn’t as a football fan, but my favourite memory so far would be when I got my England call-up for the Under-16s.”

Any hidden talents?

“I’m quite good at dancing and I play futsal regularly so I would go with those two.”

Who do you like to watch in the first team and why?

“I like to watch Becky Spencer because I can learn a lot from her and put that into my game play to try to improve. It has been really good to train with her and I feel I have already developed so much.”

Who was your footballing idol when growing up?

“It would be Lucy Bronze because I use to be an outfield player when I was younger, so I just really liked how she played.”

If you couldn’t be a footballer, what would you like to be instead?

“It’s quite similar to football, but I would like to be a futsal player. I have been playing that for about three years now.”

How would you sum up your character?

“I’m very funny and I would say I’m quite confident once you get to know me, so I will just talk non-stop.”

How would you describe your playing style?

“I’m good at claiming crosses, I feel my distribution and communication is strong alongside my shot stopping.”

Richarlison continues impressive run in the Premier League with goal against Nottingham Forest

Richarlison continues impressive run in the Premier League with goal against Nottingham Forest - Tottenham Hotspur
Description

He might have endured his fair share of injury woes this season, but Richarlison is quietly enjoying quite the goalscoring run in the Premier League.

While three separate injuries have seen Richy face quite the broken season, he has recently got himself on quite the run in the top flight in front of goal, which continued in Monday night's defeat to Nottingham Forest.

Giving us hope late on in the game with a powerful header to bring the scoreline to how it ultimately finished, 2-1, the forward scored his fourth goal in just his last five games - an incredible run considering injuries have seen him miss two thirds of the campaign to date.

Unavailable for 21 of our 33 Premier League games thus far, it has certainly been a difficult season for the Brazilian, but his recent run certainly shows the impact he can have when available.

A run which began back in January - something that perhaps highlights just how tricky a campaign it has been for our number nine - as we travelled to Everton, the forward bundled the ball home late in that game before registering against Leicester the following weekend.

Starting against Brentford immediately after that, a calf injury picked up in our League Cup semi-final second leg at Liverpool then saw him miss the next two months of action before he returned in our 4-2 defeat at Wolves just over a week ago.

He struck at Molineux, again bundling the ball across the line before he then found the target against Forest on Monday night. That goal being his 20th in our colours since his summer, 2022, switch from Everton.

It also marks the forwards best run of form for us since he scored nine in eight league games between December, 2023, and February, 2024.

Ella Morris: “It was a bittersweet moment”

Ella Morris: “It was a bittersweet moment” - Tottenham Hotspur
Description

Ella Morris experienced the sweet feeling of scoring her first Spurs goal on Sunday, but was ultimately left with a sour taste from the last-gasp 3-2 defeat to Aston Villa in the Barclays Women’s Super League.

The England youth international delivered another lively performance and played a key role in our spirited second-half comeback as two goals in a five-minute spell saw us fight from 2-0 down to get back on level terms.

Jess Naz halved the deficit after Anna Patten and Ebony Salmon put the visitors ahead and, in the 70th minute, Ella grabbed the equaliser with her maiden goal for the Club and in the WSL as she rounded the goalkeeper before slotting home.

However, despite being in the ascendancy from that point, it was Villa who went to clinch the three points as Kirsty Hanson grabbed a late winner in the first minute of stoppage time at Brisbane Road.

“It was a disappointing outcome but there were a lot of positives to take from the game,” she told us. “Going 2-0 down is never easy so to have fought back to get on level terms shows our resilience but now it’s just about working out how to maintain that draw or push for a win.”

Reflecting on her first goal in a Spurs shirt, Ella added: “It was obviously bittersweet to have not gone on to get the win from it, but I was just very grateful to have had the opportunity to be on the pitch and score my first goal for the Club.

“As a defender, I have never been that goal-driven but it’s always nice to get that goal when those rare moments happen, but hopefully it will be the first of many.”

Next up is a trip to St Helens Stadium to face Liverpool on Sunday and Ella is anticipating another tough encounter.

“It will be a really good game,” she said. “Liverpool are a good side, they have a lot of great players, and I think transitionally they’re a really great team, so that’s something we will have to work on. But I definitely think we can go up there and push for a win at the weekend.”
