The ‘Spurs home-coming


Saturday, May 24 – 1919
It is expected that by July the Spurs’ ground at White Hart-lane will have resumed its pre-war appearance. The huge workshops erected by munition firms are being rapidly dismantled. The playing pitch has not been interfered with and will require little improvement.

Most of the old Hotspur players have already been signed on, and it is hoped shortly to announce the signing on of several well-known footballers. Fresh talents will be introduced in the Tottenham team which oppose the Arsenal at Highbury on Saturday next, for which date a charity match has been arranged. A first-class left back is needed.
