when were spurs last top of the premiership
Tottenham Hotspur F.C. Spurs was one of the five clubs that pushed for the founding of Premier League, created with the approval of The Football Association as replacement for the Football League First Division as the highest division of English football.[32] Despite a succession of managers and players such as Teddy Sheringham, Jürgen Klinsmann and David Ginola, for a long period in the Premier League until the late 2000s, Spurs finished mid-table most seasons with few trophies won. They won the League Cup in 1999 under George Graham, and in 2008 under Juande Ramos. From the late 2000s onwards, Spurs have finished in the top 6.
Arsenal F.C. Arsenal's tally of 13 League Championships is the third highest in English football, after Manchester United (20) and Liverpool (18),[147] and they were the first club to reach a seventh and an eighth League Championship. As of May 2016, they are one of only six teams, the others being Manchester United, Blackburn Rovers, Chelsea, Manchester City and Leicester City, to have won the Premier League since its formation in 1992.[148]
