Tottenham Hotspur are an English association football club based in Tottenham, London. Founded in 1882, it was when they entered the Southern League that they found success, winning the competition in 1900, and in the following season of 1901, while still classed as a non-league club, famously going on to win the FA Cup. They are among the most successful clubs in English football overall, with 26 league and cup victories, and were the first team to win the League and FA Cup double in the 20th century; the first English team to win a major European trophy and the first English team to win two different European trophies.

Steve Perryman holds the club's record for the most appearances, 866 between 1969 and 1986 (of which 655 were in the league, another club record). The record goalscorer is Harry Kane, who scored 280 goals for the club between 2011 and 2023 (213 in the league, where he ranks second-highest for the club behind Jimmy Greaves' 220).
