----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Update (29/08/2010) - The latest two Tottenham 'Philip Neill Cards' are now on the site. These are: 2010 - Football Collector Cards (Top Star Cards) - R Burgess & 2010 - Football Collector Cards - J Chisolm (Scan 32). This is a card of interest as it is the only Tottenham card ever produced that depicts John Chislom, a Spurs player from the 1940s.

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

Update (15/08/2010) - Something a little different, I have added a 1960 - Anglo-American Chewing Gum - 'Bell Boy' Soccer Clubs Wax Wrapper - 12 Tottenham Hotspur (Scan 4) to the 'All Other 1960s Spurs Cards' page.

Update (08/08/2010) - An example of a 1932 - Godfrey Phillips - Footballers (BDV Sports Package) - McCormick (Scan 7) card is now on the 'All 1930s Tottenham Cards' page.

Update (02/08/2010) - Going back over a century, I have added a 1908 - Taddy & Co - Prominent Footballers - R Hewitson (Scan 27) card to the 'All Pre- Great War Spurs Cards' page.

Update (27/07/2010) - It's always nice to have foreign cards relating to Tottenham Hotspur in this collection and I have now added two 2006 - China Issue - D Berbatov & A Lennon (Scan 14) cards to the 'Other Late- 2000s Spurs Cards' page.

Update (15/07/2010) - I have added another variant 1970 - B.A.B. Products - Tottenham Shield (Scan 14) sticker to the 'All Other 1970s Spurs Cards' page. ( This is one I was previously unaware of and I now have four variations of this sticker).

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 (09/07/2010) - Two postcards: 2000s - Premier Card Creations - Tottenham Hotspur Team Set #1 - Fullwood/Duncan/Forster/Hinton (Scan 83) and 2000s - Premier Card Creations - Tottenham Hotspur Team Set #2 - Richardson/Hooper/Sproston/Page (Scan 84) are now included in the 'Other Early-2000s Spurs Cards' page.

Update (30/06/2010) - The latest two Spurs 'Philip Neill Cards' have now been added. These are Player Parade (Second Series) - Jim Iley (Scan 30) and Action Stars (Series 3) - Cliff Jones (Scan 31). I have also transferred half-a-dozen other Philip Neill cards from elsewhere on the site which I had neglected to do earlier when I made this page.

Update (18/06/2010) - I have added to the site the latest three Tottenham Hotspur 'JF Sporting Collectibles Cards'. These are two Football Heroes - M Norman & J White (Scan 56) cards and a 1970s Footballers in Action - A Gilzean (Scan 69) card.

Update (12/06/2010) - An original 1912 - Jones Brothers - Spurs Footballers - Ernest Coquet card has now been added to the 'All Pre- Great War Spurs Cards' page (Scan 37).

Update (07/06/2010) - A 2007 - Peel Publishing - MiniCards - Grounds of the Premier & Football League - no.82 White Card Lane (Scan 51) card has been added to the 'All Other Late - 2000s Spurs Cards' page.

Update (02/06/2010) - Two more very old cards from the 1908 - Taddy & Co - 400 Prominent Footballers (with Footnote) set have been added to the 'All Pre- Great War Spurs Cards' page. These are Walter Bull & Vivian Woodward (Scan 26). Of the fifteen Tottenham cards in this set I am now missing just two.

Update (28/05/2010) - I have pushed the expense boat out a little bit far recently (I might have to be a bit frugal for a while!) and acquired five 1935-39 Barratt & Co - Famous Footballers (Series A to D) - Tottenham Hotspur cards. I won't list the newly arrived ones here but I now have all eleven Spurs cards from these series of costly sister sets and they can be found on  the 'Barratts / Bassett Spurs Cards' page (Scans 3-7) and also on the 'All 1930s Tottenham Cards' page (Scans 37-41).

Update (25/05/2010) - I have now created a new page on this site for all  'Philip Neill Cards'. This is because these issues are now numerous enough and distinct enough to merit there own dedicated page while it also now frees up space on what were previously pretty full pages.

Update (20/05/2010) - The final missing Tottenham 1923 - JA Pattreiouex - Famous Footballers (FC1-96) - FC35 G Maddison (& A Grimsdell) v. Huddersfield Town (Scan 40) card has been added to the 'All 1920s Tottenham Cards' page. I have also re-scanned a number of the cards on this page as they were done when the site was in its infancy and were not quite as good as they might have been (my scanning has got a lot better with practice!).

Update (17/05/2010) - A 1953 - WR Wilkinson - Popular Footballers - Ted Ditchburn (Scan 10) card has been added to the 'All Other 1950s Spurs Cards' page. These are considerably rare items & I'm pleased now to have both Tottenham cards from the series.

Update (13/05/2010) - I have added a 2000 - DS Cards - France Foot 2000 - Top Champions - David Ginola (Scan 1) french card to the 'Other Early-2000s Spurs Cards' page.

Update (10/05/2010) - A 1970 - B.A.B. - World Cup Footballers - M Peters (Scan 16) round sticker has been added to the 'All Other 1970s Spurs Cards' page. I now have both Spurs stickers from this fairly scarce set.

Update (06/05/2010) - Also now added to the 'All Other 2010s Spurs Cards' page are the five latest Philip Neill cards. These are: 2010 Action Stars - D Blanchflower & T Ditchburn (Scan 10), 2010 Football Fanfare - R Burgess (Scan 11), 2010 Player Parade - L Medley (Scan 11) and 2010 Soccer Star - M England (Scan 12). (NB. Not any more(!): All Philip Neill cards are now on their own dedicated page as of 25/05/2010)...

Update (30/04/2010) - I have added a 2010 - Nikolia Dante - Tottenham Hotspur 2009/10 card set to the 'All Other 2010s Spurs Cards' page. There are 36 cards in this set but, as it is an unofficial issue, I have restricted the listing to the following nine cards: K Bond (Asst Manager), B Alnwick, J Walker, K Walker, D Rose, A Taarabt, D Dervite, D Button and J Livermore (Scans 5-9).

Update (26/04/2010) - To complete this particular set I now have a 1981 Panini - Football 81 - 307 Tottenham Badge (Scan 20) sticker which can be seen on the 'Panini Stickers 1968-1987' page.

Update (23/04/2010) - The latest Tottenham Hotspur  'JF Sporting Collectibles Cards'  have been added to the site: These being two Popular Footballers in Action 1970s - Phil Beal & Alfie Conn (Scan 77) cards.

Update (19/04/2010) - The following card & sticker: 1977 Top Sellers - Football 77 - 65L Willie Young (Puzzle Card) & Tottenham Team Badge (Scan 46) have now been added to the 'Top Sellers 1972-1977' page.

Update (16/04/2010) - I have added 3 more 1982 Tottenham Hotspur/Maybank Press - Spurs Super Star Special - R Clemence, R Villa, M Hazard (Scan 23) cards to the 'All Other 1980s Spurs Cards' page. I now have 14 of the 20 cards in this set.

Update (13/04/2010) - The  'Topps/Merlin Cards 2005- ' (stupid font colour function isn't working properly) page now has seven subsequent issue 2009/10 Topps - Match Attax - Tottenham Hotspur x7 (Scans 56-60) cards. These are a 'Club Captain, a 'Hat-Trick Hero', 3 x Squad Updates and 2 x New Signing cards.

Update (09/04/2010) - A Merlin/Topps - Premier League 2000 (issued with 'Frubes') - F6 David Ginola (Scan 19) sticker has been added to the 'Merlin/Topps Stickers 2000-05' page. I now have both Spurs stickers from this small and quite scarce subset.

Update (03/04/2010) - The latest addition is a 1990 - Quaser - Promo Card - G Lineker (Scan 19) which has been added to the 'Other Early-1990s Spurs Cards' page.

Update (30/03/2010) - There is a new entry in the 'Other Late- 2000s Spurs Cards' page, namely a 2008 - BBC - Question of Sport - Robbie Keane (Scan 85) card.

Update (26/03/2010) - I have added an Official THFC Squad Player card - 32 Johnnie Jackson (Scan 81) to the  'Other Early- 2000s Spurs Cards' page. I don't generally collect this type of issue but, as this is the only representation on card of this player anywhere, it deserves a place in this collection.

Update (22/03/2010) - I've managed to got hold of one of the few Tottenham Hotspur 'Panini Stickers 1968-1987' that I was missing: This one being a 1979 Panini - Football 79 - 343 P Taylor (Scan 10) sticker.

Update (18/03/2010) - I've not picked up many Spurs cards lately but I have now added 6x Tottenham Hotspur - 2007 - Playing Cards (Scans 49 & 50), which I have bought from the Ukraine, to the 'Other Late - 2000s Spurs Cards' page.

Update (04/03/2010) - I've been a bit busy of late but I have finally made some additions to the 'Tottenham Fixture Cards' page. These are a 1988-89 Official Tottenham Hotspur Fixture Card (Scans 7-8) and four Daily Mirror Tottenham Hotspur 1998/9 to 2001/2 Fixture Cards (Scans 25-26 & 31-32).

..............................................................................................................................................

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).
