N17

Lore & Background

The 2026–27 season is the first since 2020–21 without Cristian Romero, who signed for Atlético Madrid. The club's total expenditure in the transfer market was £311.5 million, and total income was £148.5 million. Pre-season and friendlies included participation in the 2026 Sydney Super Cup with matches against Sydney and Chelsea, a pre-season tour to New Zealand with a fixture against Auckland, a behind-closed-doors fixture against Milton Keynes Dons, a home fixture against TSG Hoffenheim, and a second behind-closed-doors fixture against Getafe.

In Their Own Story

The rain slicked the cobblestones outside the old pub on Seven Sisters Road, reflecting the flickering neon of a Spurs scarf hanging in the window. An old man stood alone, his hand resting on the cold brick wall where the Lane once stood just yards away. He could still hear it—the rhythmic clatter of boots on concrete, the roar rising from the North Stand like a tidal wave. It was 1961 again, or maybe 2008; time blurred in N17. A young boy tugged his sleeve, asking about the 'Double.' The old man smiled, pointing toward the gleaming new stadium that rose behind him, then back to the empty space where the old terrace had crumbled. "It's not the bricks, lad," he whispered over the hum of traffic. "It's the blood in this postcode."
