New deal for Kyerematen - Tottenham Hotspur
Description

We are delighted to announce that Rio Kyerematen has signed a new contract with the Club.

The midfielder has been with us since the age of eight and went full-time in 2021, signing his first professional contract the following year.

A key member of our Under-18 Premier League Cup-winning side in 2022/23, scoring a late winner in the semi-final at Sheffield United before netting a brace as we beat Aston Villa in the final at Villa Park, Rio has featured regularly for our Under-21s over the last two seasons, helping us to the Premier League 2 title in 2023/24.

An England youth international, he made his first appearance on the senior stage against Newcastle United on the Club’s post-season tour of Australia in 2024 and was named in our first team squad for the first time in a competitive game when we defeated Elfsborg in the UEFA Europa League in January of this year.

Bill Nicholson Gates return home

Bill Nicholson Gates return home - Tottenham Hotspur
Description

The famous Bill Nicholson Gates – that stood proudly in front of our old White Hart Lane stadium for generations – are now officially back home in Tottenham having been formally re-opened by our Chairman, Daniel Levy, and Bill’s daughter, Jean Bell, today.

The ceremony was attended by the Club’s Board, Bill’s friends and family, representatives of our Fan Advisory Board (FAB) and Supporters’ Trust and a number of Bill’s former players – Steve Perryman, Cliff Jones, Pat Jennings, Martin Chivers, Phil Beal, John Pratt, Terry Naylor and Peter Collins – as well as Club Ambassador, Gary Mabbutt.

The iconic black and gold iron gates have been kept safely in storage since 2015, having been removed ahead of the construction of our new stadium. Working in close consultation with our FAB, the Gates have been reinstated in their new location within PAXTON17, between the Ticket Office and historic buildings at the north of the stadium.

They became synonymous with the great Bill Nic following a famous photograph taken by Peter Robinson during Bill’s time as manager – and it was Peter who returned as official photographer for today’s event.

His iconic original image is emblazoned on a hoarding behind the reinstated Gates, providing a lasting visual of Bill and a fantastic photo opportunity for fans attending our stadium.

On formally re-opening the Gates, Daniel Levy said: “We were honoured to be joined by Bill’s family, friends and former players on what has been a historic occasion.

“Generations of fans, players and staff passed through the Bill Nicholson Gates on the way to White Hart Lane – they are of huge historic and cultural significance and I am extremely proud they have returned home.

“The iconic image of Bill holding the gates open is etched in the minds of so many fans and is now immortalised here in Tottenham.

“We look forward to welcoming fans back to the stadium for the new season and seeing the gates become a photo opportunity and local point of interest for many years to come.

Jean Bell said: “On behalf of Bill’s family, I would like to thank Daniel and the Club for preserving these beautiful, iconic gates and for re-erecting them outside the spectacular new stadium.

“Dad was very proud of Tottenham Hotspur. As well as striving for success on the pitch, he was also determined that the Club should establish a reputation for warm and generous hospitality. I think this sentiment is captured in Peter’s famous photo of Dad at the gates, where he appears to be welcoming everyone to White Hart Lane.

“We are delighted that the position chosen for the gates will give supporters the opportunity to have their own photos taken with them. We hope this will prompt older supporters to recall their memories of the Lane and inspire younger supporters to learn more about the Club’s history and the magnificent part Dad played in it.”

Bill himself first stepped through those gates as a young player in 1936 when he arrived for a trial, going on to be a key player in Arthur Rowe’s trailblazing 1950-51 League title winning side before himself becoming the Club’s most decorated manager, winning eight major trophies, including a League and FA Cup Double in 1961 and our first ever European triumph two years later.

The gates will now form part of our Heritage Tour that offers fans and visitors an in-depth journey through the Club and the area’s storied past, architectural gems and the remarkable individuals who have shaped its legacy.

Meanwhile, Peter Robinson’s iconic, original photograph is currently on display in OOF Gallery – free to enter and accessible via the Spurs Shop at the Tottenham Experience - alongside some of his greatest works, until August 31.

‘Double Vision’ surveys Robinson’s 60-plus year career, documenting world football from the lower leagues to the very highest level. The exhibition splits his work into a series of themed sections, from the psychology of taking a penalty, to players feigning injury and hastily drawn shirt numbers.

A large one-off signed print of the Bill Nicholson Gates photo will be auctioned for charity, with proceeds split between the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation and Tottenham Tribute Trust (TTT) - a first-of-its-kind independent charity dedicated to serving the needs of former players who find themselves in a situation that compromises their quality of life.

Luton Town - how the Hatters played a huge part in our early history

The Knowledge | Luton Town - how the Hatters played a huge part in our early history - Tottenham Hotspur
Description

As we prepare to face Luton Town in a pre-season friendly at Kenilworth Road on Saturday (3pm) - live on SPURSPLAY - we can turn the clock back over 130 years to a rivalry that spanned five-successive seasons in the FA Cup.

The first, recorded senior competitive game in our history was an FA Cup tie against West Herts on 13 October, 1894.

We won that first qualifying round match 3-2 and went on to beat Wolverton and Clapton before facing Luton in the fourth qualifying round on 15 December, 1894.

After a 2-2 draw at home, the team - pictured at the top of the page - were beaten 4-0 in the replay - meaning Luton consigned us to our first senior competitive defeat.

We'd bump into the Hatters - formed in 1885 - a few times in our early FA Cup runs. In fact, we played them five seasons on the trot!

We gained revenge for that first loss a year later with a 2-1 win in the first qualifying round as we reached the first round of the competition for the first time, only to lose out to Stoke.

Luton got us back again in the third qualifying round in 1896/97 and beat us again in the second qualifying round in 1897/98 but it was our turn in 1898/99, this time victory in a second replay in the third qualifying round on our way to the third round for the first time.

Of course, this was all building up to 1900/01 and one of the all-time great football achievements as we lifted the famous trophy as a non-league team from the Southern League - and, 125 years on, we remain the only team to achieve that feat. There was no Luton in sight as we beat Preston, Bury, Reading, West Brom and then Sheffield United in the final.

First of 611!

Gary Mabbutt proudly wore our Lilywhite shirt in 611 competitive fixtures - the first was against Luton Town in the old First Division back in 1982.

It started with a flourish as Mabbsy scored on his competitive debut against newly-promoted Luton, managed by his future boss, David Pleat, at the Lane on 28 August, 1982. With just three minutes on the clock, Glenn Hoddle clipped in a free-kick and Mabbsy planted home a header to open his Spurs account. Micky Hazard added the second in 2-0 win. It was the start of a glorious 16-year playing career at the Club, captain for 11, the highlight lifting the FA Cup as skipper at Wembley in 1991.

Signed in the summer of 1982 from Bristol Rovers, Mabbsy had an incredible first few months as a Spur. It wasn't long before he scored twice, from left-back, for England Under-21s against Denmark and he was then called up for his full international debut against West Germany at Wembley, aged 21, on 13 October, 1982.

Speaking to us back in 2015, Mabbsy recalled that 'whirlwind' start to life at Spurs. "We went on our pre-season tour to Norway and during the tour, a couple of players got injured, Keith Burkinshaw brought me into the middle of midfield and I then stayed in the team for the next 16 years!

"My debut for Spurs was the Charity Shield at Wembley against Liverpool and a week later, the first league game of the season at home to Luton and you can imagine, all the Spurs fans are used to seeing all these million-pound signings and big internationals and suddenly there was this young lad they’d never heard of from Bristol Rovers coming in for a bargain basement £105,000! I’m sure they were wondering who the heck this was but I came out against Luton, fantastic atmosphere and in the first five minutes we got a free-kick, Glenn Hoddle took it, put it on my head and I scored and from that moment, the Spurs fans warmed towards me and we’ve had the most amazing relationship since."

Gallery | Maddison returns to full training - Tottenham Hotspur
Description

James Maddison stepped up his recovery this week as he returned to full training during the halfway stage of pre-season at Hotspur Way.

Our number 10 has been working hard on his rehabilitation from a knee injury that ruled him out of the 2024/25 run-in, which culminated in us winning the Europa League in May.

Two months later, the key midfielder now has his sights set on a return to playing action after joining the rest of the group in a full session featuring possession-based games, the blocking drill and a fitness finisher as intensity ramps up.

Speaking in his first press conference last Friday (18 July), Thomas Frank said Madders was the 'closest one' of our injured players to making a comeback but wasn't quite ready to play in the 2-0 win at Reading in our pre-season opener last time out.

A week on, there are encouraging signs that the creative talent could get some minutes for the first time under our new Head Coach this weekend with two pre-season friendlies happening on Saturday in what is our final outing before departing for Tour.

Here are the latest images from Madders back in full training...

How to watch our pre-season double-header against Wycombe and Luton on Saturday - Tottenham Hotspur
Description

We've a feast of pre-season football for you on Saturday with the Men's First Team in action in two friendlies, and you can watch it all via SPURSPLAY - our video streaming platform.

SPURSPLAY is the home of our live and on-demand video content and the home of all of our pre-season matches this summer - including the first north London derby to take place outside of the UK when we face Arsenal in Hong Kong next week.

Having kicked-off with a 2-0 win at Reading last weekend, Thomas Frank will now lead us into two pre-season matches in a matter of hours!

First up, an additional encounter against League One side Wycombe Wanderers in a behind-closed-doors match at Hotspur Way, kicking-off 11am. Then, it's a quick trip up the M1 as we face Luton Town at Kenilworth Road, this one kicking-off at 3pm.

Thomas told us yesterday: "We wanted an extra game in our schedule to give as many players as many match minutes as possible, in order to put them in the best position, physically. We will play two even, strong teams and they will play between 60 and 75 minutes, maybe more. By the end of Saturday, 22 players will have played a lot of match minutes and they will be in a very good place before we go on tour."

We're pleased to confirm that the Wycombe match will be broadcast live on SPURSPLAY in addition to the Luton game. We'll be on air from Hotspur Way just before 11am before switching our focus to Kenilworth Road, with coverage of the second match scheduled to start at 2.30pm.

Under-18s recover to draw with Cork City

Under-18s recover to draw with Cork City - Tottenham Hotspur
Description

Our Under-18s battled back from a 2-0 half-time deficit to draw 2-2 with Cork City Under-19s in Ireland on Wednesday afternoon.

In a training ground friendly at the Fota Island resort in Cork, where our youngsters are spending the week on a pre-season camp, we struggled to get to grips with the Irish side – who are in the midst of their league campaign – in the first period but produced a much-improved second-half display with goals in the final 12 minutes from Ronny Moncur and Under-16s striker Frankie Day ensuring honours ended even.

There were valuable match minutes for a number of first and second-year scholars in addition to several Under-16s players in what was a fiercely-contested rematch from two years ago, when our Under-18s previously crossed the water to take on their counterparts from the League of Ireland outfit.

The first half belonged largely to Cork. Goalkeeper Dylan Thompson produced a smart stop to deny Cillian Murphy after Finn Dalton’s drive was blocked early on, but it took our opponents less than 10 minutes to find a breakthrough as Jordan McCarthy converted Brody Lee’s cut-back from the left with a low drive across goal into the far corner. Five minutes later, it was 2-0 as Murphy collected the ball and drilled inside the near post on his left foot.

Our best attempt of the initial 45 minutes came just before the break as Cameron Thomas saw his goalbound effort charged down in a crowded penalty area but with a raft of changes made by both teams at the break, we took greater control of the game in the second half and went close to reducing the arrears mid-way through that period when Miracle Adewole accelerated beyond his marker down the left and teed up substitute Day for a fine shot that was tipped wide at the near post.

You sensed a goal was coming for us and we duly made the breakthrough on 78 minutes when impressive right-back Oscar Sandiford delivered a low centre which Moncur arrived onto and blasted through a crowded penalty area to find the net. Sandiford was involved again as we deservedly restored parity four minutes from time, picking out Moncur who duly played Day in to produce an emphatic finish from the left angle inside the box. That’s how it stayed, with the match serving as further preparation for the new Under-18 Premier League campaign following a pair of training ground friendlies against Leyton Orient (0-0) and Charlton Athletic (0-2) over the last two weekends.

‘It looked like it was coming in the second half’

“It was a really competitive game,” reflected Interim Under-18s Coach Joe Staunton. “Both teams were at different stages in their seasons – Cork were really strong in the first half and we struggled to break them down as effectively as we needed to but it was a better performance from our lads in the second period. It looked like it was coming in the second half and a couple of the boys who came into the game were able to affect the scoreline and be effective in the penalty box. They were two well-taken goals and two deserved goals based on the second-half performance.”

On the inclusion of the Under-16s players, who have also had a part to play throughout pre-season so far, Joe added: “Pre-season is always a brilliant opportunity for some of the younger players to get exposure to the Under-18s and to play against perhaps more physical opposition. All round, it’s an eye-opening opportunity for them to see what it could be like in the next year or so for them.”
