Update (25/03/2011) - I have added an unused 1991 - Bryant & May - 1991 FA Cup Winners - Match Booklet to the 'Other Early-1990s Spurs Cards' page (Scan 30). An unusual item but, being made of card, one that rightly belongs here!

Update (15/03/2011) - A welcome addition, the latest 2011 - Panini - Adrenalyn XL - UEFA Champions League - 19 x Tottenham Hotspur cards have been added to the 'Panini Issues 2010 onwards' page (Scans 10-18)...

Update (30/01/2011) - The 'All 1930s Tottenham Cards' page has a new addition - a 1938 - Ogdens - Prominent Cricketers - WJ Edrich card (Scan 47). This is the only contemporary card I know of that depicts Bill Edrich and also mentions Tottenham Hotspur (and therefore, I feel, deserves a place in this collection).

Update (24/01/2011) - **There's another new page on the site** - a 'Merlin/Topps Stickers 2011- ' page which, to start off with, as the latest 2011 - Topps - Premier League 2010-11 - 23 x Tottenham Hotspur stickers (Scans 1-12).

Update (06/01/2011) - From the same company again, I have added a Barclays Bank - 2008-2009 Tottenham Hotspur Fixture card to the 'Tottenham Fixture Cards' page (Scan 35).

Update (26/11/2010) - I have added a 1948 - Sporting Mirror - Letter Cards - Series 5 - E Ditchburn item to the 'All Other 1940s Spurs Cards' page (Scan 15). I now need just one of the eleven Tottenham players to complete this set.

Update (22/11/2010) - The 'Other Late - 2000s Spurs Cards' page now has 2x unidentified (2006/07 & 2008/09) Jermaine Defoe stickers (scan 79). Fairly inconsequential items but deserving of a place in this collection nevertheless!

Update (18/11/2010) - I've finally got around to adding a Spurs 1983-1984 Fixture Card to the 'Tottenham Fixture Cards' page (Scans 5& 6). A nice card as Spurs, of course, won the UEFA Cup in this season.

Update (02/11/2010) - Three more Spurs cards are on the 'All Other 2010s Spurs Cards' page, all of players not seen on any other cards that I know of. These are: 2010 - Nikolai Dante - Tottenham Hotspur 2010/2011 - Andros Townsend, Stipe Pletikosa & Ryan Mason (Scans 14 & 15).

Update (06/10/2010) - The newest addition is a 2010 - Winning Moves - Top Trumps FIFA World Cup Tournament - Managers - B Nicholson card which is on the 'All Other 2010s Spurs Cards' page (Scan 13).

Update (02/10/2010) - I have taken a break for the last four weeks-or-so but I have now added a 1972 Top Sellers - 297 P Jennings sticker to the 'Top Sellers 1972-1977' page (Scan 1). (This sticker completes this particular set at last).

Update (04/09/2010) - I have added two more 1982 Tottenham Hotspur/Maybank Press - Spurs Super Star Special cards of Graham Roberts & Chris Jones to the 'All Other 1980s Spurs Cards' page (Scan 24). I now have 16 of the 20 cards in this set...

These are: 2010 - Football Collector Cards (Top Star Cards) - R Burgess & 2010 - Football Collector Cards - J Chisolm (Scan 32).

Update (21/08/2010) - Also added to the 'All Other 1960s Spurs Cards' page is a 1968 - Evening News - Stars in Action - Alan Mullery card (scan 58). I now have all six Tottenham cards from this series.

I have also updated my 'LINKS' page with a few more football card or football collection sites which I hope will be of interest.

Update (04/02/2010) - I have added from my collection, and scanned in their entirety, three A5-sized bookets. These are a rare 1948 'Official History of Tottenham Hotspurs', a not-so-rare 'Spurs 1961' publication & a rare 'The Spurs of 1950' publication. The size of these booklets lend themselves to be put on this site & they should, and I hope, be of considerable interest. There is another very scarce 1922 Tottenham Hotspur 'Romance of Football' publication that  can be found in my 'LINKS' page; this is very, very rare item and well beyond my means!.

Update (14/11/2009) - This site celebrates its 1st Birthday. Many Happy Returns to it!

Update (12/10/2009) - I have now (finally!) finished adding all the pages to this site. All of my Tottenham Hotspur cigarette cards, trade cards, silks, stickers and the odd-other-items are now on here. From now on I will be adding cards as and when I acquire them (which is generally quite often, much to my wife's chagrin). I was hoping to add checklists for all Spurs card etc. to this site but the facility for cutting and pasting is not conducive to this and the time it would take to re-write them all is prohibitive. My apologies to anyone who may have been waiting for them although I can e-mail them if necessary (my e-mail address is at the bottom of the 'Introduction' page).
