The 1906–07 season was Tottenham's eleventh season as a fully professional club and the 24th year in existence. They competed in two leagues, the main being the Southern Football League with a midweek game in the Western League along with competing in the FA Cup.
Unlike the previous season the Western League was split into two groups and Tottenham played in the "B" league consisting of sixth teams and finished in fourth place.
In the Southern League Tottenham did enough to finish in the top half of the table with a notable 6–0 win against Northampton Town. On 12 December they played Plymouth Argyle in both the Southern and Western League on the same day. The first team went away to Plymouth and drew the game 2–2. While the reserves played at White Hart Lane in a game that finished 4–2 in Tottenham's favour.
In the FA Cup it took three games to get past Hull City and the same again to get past Blackburn Rovers. Then in the third round Tottenham were drawn away to Notts County, in Nottingham Spurs lost 4–0 ending their cup run.
Squad
Transfers May 1906 saw the arrival of multiple players to Tottenham, three from Watford, two from Middlesbrough and William Jones who had spent nine years at Bristol City with an England call-up during that time in March 1901 where he played against Ireland. His final season with Bristol was when they had won the Second Division, however they released him from his services at seasons end. In October Tottenham gave a trail to Irish international goalkeeper Matthew Reilly and were impressed and signed him for a year.
