Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham Hotspur will be one of 11 clubs delivering the pilot project during the 2025/26 season, working alongside Mind in Haringey. Staff from the charity will be based at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium during all Premier League matches across the season, beginning with our match against Wolves on Saturday 27 September, reachable at the end of a text service (available on WhatsApp 07399 928274) and available to meet confidentially with anyone who requires support on the day. The service will also be available outside of home matchdays, with fans directed to a dedicated hub on Mind in Haringey’s website for out of hours support.

Mind in Haringey uses recognised psychological scales to ensure all interventions are recorded and to assess the mental state of an individual. This includes a follow-up or check-in to ensure that the individual has received relevant support and that the intervention has reduced their suicide risk.

Over the last 10 years, Mind in Haringey has developed expertise in being able to engage and support people across a variety of settings and were heavily involved in implementing the Club’s own internal health and wellbeing strategy for staff. Mind in Haringey will continue to provide workshops to club staff around the signs to look out for if they or somebody they know is experiencing suicidal thoughts.

Vinai Venkatesham, Chief Executive of Tottenham Hotspur, said: “Together Against Suicide is a significant step in recognising the role that football can play in raising awareness of mental health issues and supporting people who are experiencing suicidal thoughts. I’d like to thank the Premier League and all 20 Clubs for their support in shaping this initiative over the past year, and in particular Roman Kemp who came up with the idea that we see launching today.

“Sadly, suicide affects more people than many of us realise, and this initiative sees the Premier League and clubs coming together to support fans – whether through safe spaces at stadiums or helping them access expert advice wherever they are. We want fans to understand that one conversation can make all the difference, and that they can turn to their clubs for support when they need it most.”

Broadcaster Roman Kemp, advocate for ‘Together Against Suicide’, said: “As football fans, we are always there for our clubs. This initiative was created with the intention of flipping it on its head so clubs can be there for fans when they need it the most. As someone who has felt the impact of suicide and talked about experiencing suicidal thoughts myself, I know that the sense of community football brings can be used to help those in need and help save lives.

“I’m so proud to work on an initiative that puts compassion and connection at the heart of football and on something I really believe will make a difference to the fans that need it. A huge thank you to Vinai Venkatesham, who’s been working tirelessly to get this going, and to the Premier League for making this happen and getting the backing of all 20 Premier League clubs.”

Premier League Chief Executive Richard Masters said: “Sadly, suicide is an issue that affects people of all ages from all backgrounds. We believe football can play a vital role in reducing the stigma around it and connecting fans who are experiencing suicidal thoughts with the support they need.

“By working with clubs and partners to develop ‘Together Against Suicide’, we want fans to understand that they do not have to deal with their problems alone.

“There are many ways for people to have the conversations that can have a positive impact on their mental wellbeing, whether this is by utilising the matchday services that are being launched by clubs this weekend, speaking to family and friends or by contacting Samaritans or other experts in this area for confidential advice.

“This is about using the power of football to help save lives and we urge fans to look after themselves and those they care about.”

Lynette Charles, Chief Executive of Mind in Haringey, said: “Mind in Haringey is delighted to be partnering with Spurs to provide matchday support to fans, bringing the football community together against suicide.

“Unfortunately, suicide is something that impacts many of us in the Haringey community, at Mind in Haringey we have been working for many years to prevent this through initiatives such as the Haringey Suicide Prevention Group and the Safe Haven Crisis Hub. We look forward to bringing our expertise in this area to matchdays at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, ensuring that fans are supported in the same way they support their team.''

In addition to the Club's support for 'Together Against Suicide', Tottenham Hotspur Foundation works throughout our local community around suicide prevention as an active member of the Enfield Suicide Prevention Steering Group, a group that develops strategic plans for suicide prevention, informed by local data and emerging trends.

The Club is also a supporter of ‘Legend-on-the-Bench’, a charity set up by our former midfielder Micky Hazard that aims to build a bench in every park in the UK with a QR code directing people to 24-hour support services. One of these benches resides at Tottenham Community Sports Centre opposite our Stadium.

Last year, we announced the creation of the first Official Supporters’ Club for NHS staff, and will be working with the group on activities in support of ‘Together Against Suicide’.

Amidst a busy night of international action for our players on Tuesday, there were key World Cup qualifying wins for Kevin Danso’s Austria and Joao Palhinha’s Portugal.

Kevin came on as a 78th-minute substitute to help Austria see out a 2-1 victory away to Bosnia-Herzegovina.

The result leaves them level with the hosts on 12 points in the top two places in Group H, although second-placed Austria have played one game fewer than every other team in that section.

Joao, meanwhile, came on at a similar time in the game for Portugal as they won 3-2 in Hungary to maintain top spot in Group F. The midfielder’s side were leading 2-1 at the time of his introduction but after Barnabas Varga’s equaliser for the hosts, Portugal won it in the 86th minute via Joao Cancelo.

Elsewhere, Ben Davies captained an experimental Wales side as they lost 1-0 at home to Canada in a friendly. Brennan Johnson was an unused substitute for the hosts.

Luka Vuskovic, meanwhile, played 90 minutes for Croatia Under-21s as they drew 1-1 in Turkey in qualifying for the European Under-21 Championship.

As previously reported, Djed Spence came on for his senior England debut as the Three Lions won 5-0 in Serbia, while Pape Matar Sarr scored a late winner for Senegal as they came back from 2-0 down to win 3-2 away to DR Congo.

It's quiz time! After Djed Spence became our latest player to receive an England cap, we are asking you to name the 35 Spurs players from our Men's team to have earned a cap for the England national team while at the Club since 1992.

After Djed's substitute appearance for the Three Lions against Serbia on Tuesday night, 35 players have now gone on to represent England while turning out for Men's team since 1992 - but can you name them?

You will have 12 minutes to name as many of the 35 players as you can. To help, the number of caps the players have won while playing for us as well as their positions are listed next to their relevant answer box when you begin the quiz.

Best of luck!

Name our 35 England internationals since 1992

Djed Spence proudly made his senior England debut on Tuesday night.

The in-form full-back came on for Reece James in the 69th minute of the Three Lions’ thumping 5-0 victory over Serbia in World Cup qualifying.

Thomas Tuchel’s men were 3-0 up at the time of the defender’s introduction following goals from Harry Kane, Noni Madueke and Ezri Konsa – and after some good contributions in his first few minutes on the field, Djed saw Marc Guehi and a Marcus Rashford penalty complete a resounding win in Belgrade.

On the bench for England’s 2-0 home win over Andorra on Saturday, Djed received his first senior international call-up this month after some excellent performances for us over the last year.

He becomes the 80th Spurs player to represent the senior England men’s team – we’ve provided more players for the Three Lions than any other club – and the first since Dominic Solanke in October last year.

The Frank Hartley conundrum solved!

Over the years, there had been some debate as to whether amateur inside-forward Frank Hartley was a Tottenham Hotspur player at the time of his England debut in 1923, but we have unearthed evidence to suggest that wasn’t the case.

Chosen once for England’s end-of-season European tour in 1923, where the Three Lions experimented with several amateurs, Hartley’s selection versus France – a 4-1 win in Paris on 10 May – came just a month after he played for Spurs at Birmingham.

Hartley signed amateur forms with us in November, 1922, but played most of that season for Oxford City. Some internet sites claim Hartley was a Spurs player when he featured for the Three Lions against France but extensive research of newspapers from the era show him as an Oxford City player, where he spent several years playing. Perhaps most significantly, we’ve uncovered an FA pamphlet printed for the England v France game which lists Frank as playing for Oxford City!

Unfortunately Hartley was seriously injured against France and decided not to continue playing at senior level, however, in February 1928, we persuaded him to sign professional and he went on to play six more first team matches in our colours.

Pape Matar Sarr scored for the second consecutive game to complete a stunning comeback win for Senegal away to DR Congo on Tuesday evening.

The in-form midfielder fired home three minutes from time to make it 3-2, having seen his side go 2-0 down in the first half, with the result seeing Senegal leapfrog the hosts into top spot in their World Cup qualifying group.

Pape, who also netted against Sudan on Friday, had only been on the pitch for 10 minutes when he hit the target – he’d been introduced in place of Senegal’s first goalscorer Pape Gueye with the match finely poised at 2-2. Bayern Munich’s Nicolas Jackson was responsible for the visitors’ equaliser.

Pape’s nation will face South Sudan and Mauritania next month as they bid to secure their spot at next summer’s tournament.

Cathinka Tandberg became our final signing of the summer after she joined us from Hammarby IF on transfer deadline day (Thursday 5 September).

The 21-year-old Norway international has racked up an impressive goalscoring record during her spells in Norway and Sweden, scoring 54 goals across all competitions, including last-minute winners in the UEFA Women’s Champions League.

As she now embarks on a new challenge in England with us, we look back at the striker's career to date…

Impressing in Oslo

Born in Oslo, Norway, ‘Tinka’ spent the early part of her youth career in the capital, joining IL Heming at the age of five. She began playing in various boys’ sides during her time there, before being part of a girls’ team.

Remaining in her hometown, the young forward made the move to Stabaek in 2018, on the west border of Oslo, where she continued her development with the Norwegian side.

Very much still in the early stages of her promising career, she featured more regularly for their reserve squad for a season before, at the age of 16, she was spotted by fellow Oslo-based side Lyn in 2020.

Continuing her rapid rise through Norway’s football divisions, Tinka made her first-ever senior appearance in the Toppserlen (Norway’s top flight), coming on as a second-half substitute in Lyn’s 5-2 defeat to Avaldsnes IL.

Making 15 appearances in her first season, the powerful attacker netted her first senior goal in September, 2021, to help her side to a 3-1 victory over Avaldsnes this time. Across her three seasons at the Club, she made 55 appearances for the Oslo-based side, scoring five goals, before her impressive performances at a young age saw a new opportunity arise in Sweden.

Part of Norway’s Under-19s squad for the Under-19 European Championships in July, 2022, the striker started in all of her nation’s fixtures in the competition, where she scored in the opener against England, as they reached the final before losing 2-1 to Spain.

A new adventure and international debut

Embarking on a new adventure in a different country – the first time she moved away from Norway – Tinka made the switch to Linkoping in 2023 and took no time to settle into her new surroundings in the Damallsvenskan (Swedish top flight).

Scoring on her debut for the club, a 3-1 win over KIF Orebro DFF, she certainly made her mark in her maiden campaign in Sweden, winning the league’s golden boot with 19 goals in 26 league games, with six of those coming in a single fixture against IFK Kalmar, and let’s not overlook the seven assists as well, taking up her goal involvement for the season to 26 in total.

Alongside her excellent performances in the league, she was just as clinical in front of goal in the Swedish Cup, netting four goals across their three matches.

This caught the eye of the national team coach as, in October, 2023, she received a call-up to the Norway senior squad for their 2023/24 UEFA Women’s Nations League squad and made her international debut against France, coming on as a late second-half substitute.

Despite not finding the back of the net in the opening eight games of the following campaign, although she picked up two assists, Tinka scored five goals in the next six games and the then 19-year-old's impressive performances secured her a move to Hammarby IF in August, 2024.

Hammarby IF and Champions League success

Despite changing new teams midway through a campaign, she continued her fantastic goalscoring form in her new colours, netting on her debut in an 8-0 victory over Trelleborgs. The hardworking forward went on to score 11 goals in 12 league games in the second half of the campaign, concluding with 18 goals and four assists in total.

However, her standout moment from that season came in the UEFA Women’s Champions League as a 95th-minute winner over Benfica in the qualifying round helped Bajen progress into the group stage for the first-ever time. She went on to feature eight times in the competition, scoring a further two goals.

Injuries hampered the forward’s start to the 2025 campaign, featuring 15 times in the league, with six of those coming on as a substitute, and scored one goal but it was her impact in the UEFA Women’s Champions League once again that certainly caught the eye before her move to north London.

As Hammarby IF faced Metalist 1925 Kharkiv in the first qualifying round of the competition, Tinka stepped off the bench in the second half to net a brace to help her side to a 5-4 win, including a last-minute winner to set-up a clash with fellow WSL side Manchester United.

Luca Williams-Barnett and Jun’ai Byfield were both on target while Tynan Thompson supplied an assist as England Under-18s rounded off the Costa De La Luz tournament in Spain with a 3-2 win over Canada on Tuesday.

Already confirmed as winners of the competition following back-to-back wins last week, the Young Lions made it three out of three with a solid performance in their final game before heading home.

Winger Tynan set up attacking midfielder Luca to open the scoring after just five minutes, before defender and captain Jun’ai made it 2-0 in the lead-up to half-time after an initial effort was saved.

All three players started the game and played the first 45 minutes before being replaced, with the fourth Spur in the squad, Malachi Hardy, coming on at the break in place of Jun’ai.

Chizaram Ezenwata of Chelsea scored England’s other goal, making it 3-1 after Canada had pulled one back. Canada scored again in the latter stages before Ezenwata missed a penalty in a dramatic end to the game.

Elsewhere on Tuesday, Callum Olusesi started and played 62 minutes for England Under-19s as they rounded off their trip to Spain with a 4-1 victory over the Netherlands at the Pinatar Arena, while Oliver Boast and Oscar Sandiford featured as second-half substitutes in England Under-17s’ enthralling 7-5 win over Germany.

We are delighted to announce the appointment of Adam Gardiner as the Club’s new Chief Marketing Officer.

Adam makes the move across north London from Arsenal where he has spent five years as Marketing Director. Prior to Arsenal, Adam held several leadership roles at Nike over 12 years.

Adam arrives in N17 in the new year to lead on the development and execution of the Club’s brand, marketing, and content strategies to further deepen engagement with our fans.

Adam said: “It’s an incredibly exciting time for the club. Tottenham Hotspur has a rich history and strong values, and there’s a huge opportunity ahead. I’m honoured to be appointed and look forward to working with a talented team to make Spurs supporters proud."

Vinai Venkatesham, CEO, said: “I’m delighted that Adam will be joining us as Chief Marketing Officer. This role is critical to our plans to strengthen our connection with our supporters, and we look forward to Adam joining our Executive Team in due course.”

Last Thursday’s deadline day move to N17 had been a long time coming for new signing Cathinka Tandberg.

Joining us from Hammarby IF on a permanent transfer, her journey to Spurs began as a 10-year-old when she first visited our iconic former home, White Hart Lane.

Having spotted the famous Lilywhite shirt on TV when watching the Premier League as a youngster, her dad brought her to north London and they paid a visit to the Lane to watch our UEFA Europa League clash against Besiktas in October, 2014.

Revealing she was a huge Harry Kane fan when growing up, the young forward witnessed the legendary Spurs forward find the back of the net in the 1-1 draw with the Turkish side in front of a packed crowd in N17.

That experience of being in the stands left it clear in her mind what she wanted to do with her life, as turned to her her dad on that night under the lights and said, ‘I’m going to play here one day’ and, eleven years later, she is going to realise that dream.

“I’ve always been a fan, watching Spurs play when I was young and I always followed the Premier League, so this is like a dream come true to come here, she told us. “So, since the first time I heard about them, I have wanted this.

“My dad took us to London and we went to see (Spurs) play. It was such a good experience, the fans and everything was so big. I told my dad ‘I’m going to play here one day’.

“When I heard Spurs was interested, for me, it was an easy choice. I said ‘I don’t want anything else than Spurs’ so since the first time I heard about them, I have wanted this.”

Set to embark on a new adventure as a Lilywhite in the Barclays Women’s Super League, she was asked what our fanbase can expect from her, with our new number 19 outlining her style of play.

“Of course I want to score goals,” she explained, speaking to SPURSPLAY after her arrival. “I’m a very physical player, always fighting for the team and fighting for the Club I’m playing for.

“I like to be in the opponents’ box, try finishing, scoring headers… just anything towards the goal.

“All of the best strikers in the world are good with everything. They can score with every cross, whether that’s their head, left foot or right foot, so for me, it’s trying to be good at everything. I have always trained to get in the opponents’ box and find finishes.”
