Tottenham Away Shirt 2001/02 (M)

North London football history from the beginning of the new millennium. The Tottenham away shirt 2001/02 takes us back to a season where Spurs celebrated the club's 100th anniversary as a participant in the English Football League. With Glenn Hoddle on the manager's bench, Teddy Sheringham back at the club and a dramatic cup final, it became a year with plenty of memories for the fans at White Hart Lane.

The shirt is part of Tottenham's classic Adidas era and bears the familiar Holsten sponsor logo, which for many years was closely associated with the London club. Adidas' characteristic design from the early 2000s gives the away shirt a nostalgic look from a time with bold sponsor logos, classic club crests and football shirts that today have achieved cult status among collectors.

2001/02 was Glenn Hoddle's first full season as Tottenham manager. The former Spurs legend had returned to the club in the spring of 2001 and was set to try and bring Tottenham closer to the best teams in the Premier League. Spurs finished the season in ninth place, but it was especially the club's performances in the League Cup that came to define the year.

On the way to the final, Tottenham delivered one of the season's most memorable performances. After a 2-1 defeat to Chelsea in the first semi-final, Spurs turned the match around with a sensational 5-1 victory at White Hart Lane. In the final at Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Blackburn Rovers were waiting, but despite high expectations, Tottenham were forced to watch themselves defeated 2-1.

The squad contained an exciting mix of established figures and younger talents. Teddy Sheringham, Robbie Keane? No, Robbie Keane didn't arrive until 2002. Instead, players like Les Ferdinand, Darren Anderton, Steffen Iversen, Gus Poyet and Christian Ziege were among the prominent names. Sheringham had returned after four seasons at Manchester United, where he had won the Champions League among other things, and his comeback gave Tottenham extra experience and attacking quality.

A legendary 5-1 victory over Chelsea, Sheringham's return and the classic Adidas details from White Hart Lane's old days. This Tottenham retro shirt from 2001/02 is a reminder of a special period in the club's history, long before the modern Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was built.
