During the 1999–2000 season, Tottenham Hotspur participated in the FA Premier League.
Season summary Tottenham Hotspur failed to make much of an impact on their return to Europe after an eight-year exile, nor were their cup exploits particularly impressive. Tenth place in the final table was a long way short of the top-five finishes attained by local rivals Arsenal and Chelsea, and manager George Graham bolstered his ranks for the 2000-01 season by paying a club record fee for Ukrainian striker Serhii Rebrov.
