What has happened today?

Catch up on your Spurs history, what has happened historically today?

Our first ever game on this day was a Wolverton & District Charity Cup Round 1 ties against Chesham in 1894. We drew 2-2. Usually an FA Cup day, we have played two Premier League fixtures against Ipswich Town and Stoke City. Our last game was in 2013 when we lost to Leeds United at Elland Road 2-1 after which Mousa Dembele said he wasn't motivated for the game.

1894	Full-back Jack Jull, one of the finest players in the Victorian era, scores his last Spurs goal. He was one of the founding members of Hotspur Football Club later to become Tottenham Hotspur and one of those most influential in the Club's development during the 1880s and 1890s. He was the first Spurs player to receive representative honours in 1891. He was made Club President in 1895 and an honorary life member when he retired as club captain in 1896.
1900	First ever meeting with Preston North End.
