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.
2015–16 Premier League Chelsea began the season as defending champions of the 2014–15 season. AFC Bournemouth, Watford and Norwich City entered as the three promoted teams from the 2014–15 Football League Championship.
