The very best team in London is one that has a deep tie with soccer in England. The team that plays in lilywhite has been effective all through their history; however, their greatest years were in the 1960’s, when they were most likely one of the greatest sides in Europe. An interesting fact about the club is that they were the only team to have ever won the FA Cup as an amateur side. It was soon after this triumph that the team turned pro. The Tottenham Hotspur owner would be extremely proud to be involved in a club with such a successful history and will look to keep that going into the near future. Interestingly, the team was essentially formed by a bunch of schoolboys that went to a school in the local area, and they took the name of a local cricket club, and combine it with the name of the borough to help develop the name we currently know. It's rather common for football clubs to take their names from cricket teams, as cricket was a more developed sport at the time. The rules of football actually have changed somewhat since these early days, and that is to accommodate the changes in tactics, for instance, there was no offside rule when the sport was first invented. The name Hotspur basically comes from the name of 15th century knight who owned the land that the team plays on.

Italian soccer has been really influential to the wider soccer community. Most people understand this fact, but what few men and women know, is that Italian club football was essentially shaped by coaches from Hungary. Hungarian football in the 1940’s was incredibly effective, and a lot of these footballers moved to Italy, either to play or coach. Some football historical events are well documented, yet this point is probably not commonly known. It's fascinating that somebody like the AC Milan owner has Hungarian football to thank for the success of their team throughout the 20th century.
