This is a tribute to the stadium at White Hart Lane the world famous home of the Spurs. If you have never taken a stadium tour then it something all Spurs fans should do before the existing stadium is demolished to make way for an impressive new stadium. The original stadium was first constructed  in 1899 and since then it has been transformed into one of the best known stadium's in the football world.  Just step inside and there is history all around you. You can visit the dressing rooms, sit in the Directors Box, walk down the historic tunnel and sit in the pitchside seats that have been occupied by so many great managers over the years.

I had the good fortune for my tour to be hosted by a Spurs legend and my own boyhood hero Cliff Jones. A truly wonderful player and a great servant to the Spurs. So take a tour before it is to late.. It is an experience you will never forget !
