How many league titles have Tottenham won?
Tottenham have won the English top-flight title twice. Their first championship came in the 1950–51 season, when they won the Second Division title the previous season before becoming champions of England.
The club’s second league championship arrived in 1960–61. That team, managed by Bill Nicholson, also won the FA Cup, becoming the first English club in the 20th century to complete the league and FA Cup double.
How many FA Cups and League Cups have Spurs won?
Tottenham have won the FA Cup eight times. Their first FA Cup triumph was in 1901, when they became the first non-League club to win the competition since the formation of the Football League. Their most recent FA Cup success came in 1991.
Spurs have also lifted the League Cup four times. They won the competition in 1971, 1973, 1999 and 2008. The 2008 final, a 2–1 victory over Chelsea after extra time, remains Tottenham’s latest major men’s trophy.
Tottenham’s European trophies
Tottenham have won three major European trophies. They became the first British club to win a UEFA club competition when they defeated Wolverhampton Wanderers in the 1972 UEFA Cup final. Spurs won the UEFA Cup again in 1984, beating Anderlecht on penalties in the second leg of the final.
In 1963, Tottenham won the European Cup Winners’ Cup by defeating Atlético Madrid 5–1 in the final. It was the club’s first European trophy and made Spurs the first British team to win that competition.
Why do some sources give a different Tottenham trophy count?
The number can change depending on what a source considers a trophy. The figure of 17 normally refers to Tottenham’s major senior men’s honours: league championships, FA Cups, League Cups and major UEFA competitions.
Some lists include minor competitions, regional honours, shared trophies or charity matches. Others count women’s-team trophies separately or combine honours from different sections of the club. Those methods can produce a different total, but 17 major men’s first-team trophies is the standard answer to the question of how many trophies Tottenham have won.
When did Tottenham last win a trophy?
Tottenham last won a major trophy on 24 February 2008, defeating Chelsea 2–1 in the League Cup final at Wembley. Jonathan Woodgate scored the winning goal in extra time after Dimitar Berbatov’s penalty had cancelled out Didier Drogba’s opener.
Since that victory, Tottenham have lost finals in the League Cup, UEFA Champions League and other competitions, but their major honours total has remained at 17.
