The 1,250 questions in this quiz book cover every aspect of Spurs’ long history, including players, managers, opponents, scores, transfers, nationalities, seasons, League positions, Cup competitions, and much more.

With a fitting foreword by two Spurs legends – Gary Mabbutt and Pat Jennings – this tribute to Spurs will trigger memories of all the nail-biting events and great personalities that have moulded the club for over a century, and it is as much a reference book of amazing and wide-ranging facts and figures as it is an entertaining quiz book.

Double Bill: The Bill Nicholson Story
Countless words have been written following Nicholson's death in 2004, but this book is unique in that the words come from one of his own players, Alan Mullery, himself a Tottenham legend, who was signed by Nicholson in the 1960s and preceded to skipper highly successful Spurs side. Mullery will unveil little-known anecdotes; reveal what went on behind the scenes whilst working alongside Nicholson; and relay stories from the many Tottenham heroes, who played with and under Nicholson over the years. The book features illustrations by writer, artist and Tottenham historian Paul Trevillion, who has worked closely with Tottenham over the past 50 years - from the days when Nicholson was a player in the famous Arthur Rowe 'push and run' side of the '50s, through the club's unbeatable Double-winning era of the '60s and onwards through the decades to the present day.
