About the Tottenham Hotspur quiz
Tottenham Hotspur have chased glory their own stylish way since 1882 — this is the club of "To Dare Is to Do", of Danny Blanchflower's insistence that the game is about glory. This free Tottenham quiz covers the full sweep: from the 1901 FA Cup, when Spurs became the only non-League club to win it since the Football League was formed, to Bilbao in May 2025, when Brennan Johnson's goal against Manchester United ended a seventeen-year wait for a trophy. In between sit Arthur Rowe's push-and-run champions of 1951, the Glory Glory European nights at White Hart Lane, and the move into the vast new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in 2019. If you know your Spurs, this is where you prove it.
The defining moments are all in here. Bill Nicholson's 1960-61 side winning the League and FA Cup Double — the first English club to do it in the twentieth century — then beating Atlético Madrid 5-1 in 1963 to become the first British winners of a European trophy. Ricky Villa slaloming through Manchester City's defence in the 1981 FA Cup final replay. Paul Gascoigne's ferocious free-kick past David Seaman in the 1991 FA Cup semi-final against Arsenal at Wembley. Lucas Moura's second-half hat-trick in Amsterdam that sent Spurs to the 2019 Champions League final, and Son Heung-min lifting the Europa League as captain six years later.
The questions range across transfers, records, managers and cult heroes. Easy ones first: who scored in Bilbao, which club Gareth Bale joined for a then-world-record fee in 2013, who holds the club's all-time scoring record. Then it gets harder — the two Argentinian World Cup winners who arrived together in 1978, Jürgen Klinsmann and the dive celebration of 1994, Jimmy Greaves' goals, David Ginola gliding down the left, and the chaotic 2025-26 season that ran through three head coaches before Roberto De Zerbi kept Spurs up on the final day. Difficulty is graded easy to hard, so you settle in before the deep cuts on specific finals, fees and managerial reigns.
Every question comes with a short explained answer — miss one and you still walk away with the story behind it, whether that's why the 1961 Double mattered so much or what actually happened in Bilbao.
