Season 1883/84
Season 1883/84 saw Tottenham Hospur's first formalised fixture list and also
saw the club's first Annual General Meeting. The club continued to play
on a piece of land adjacent to the cricket club and faired far better than last
year's 8-1 trashing by Latymer. The result recorded below are from published
reports from the time. However, some results were hotly disputed, most noteworthy
that against Latymer on 27th December, 1883. Latymer turned up with only 5
men, another 2 turning up mid-game, and at the end of the game the clubs could
not agree on the score (Tottenham said it was 2-0 in their favour). Tottenham
Weekly Herald was unable to print the result because of this and next time
around the Herald got even more irate, pointing out that the club captains
had submitted completely contradictory reports and that the paper would not
print any more results until things were sorted out.
