About THFCDB

Who made this website?

This is the hobby project of one Australian Spurs fan living in Japan. It's just me building and refining it in my spare time.

Why did you make it?

I love seeing how different things connect at Spurs. For example, I really wanted a way to see a history of Spurs matches by kit. That green kit is famous for Ajax away, but which other matches did we wear it in?

Where does the data come from?

Since the site launched in January 2023, I've added most of the data manually.

For historical data, I compiled everything from various sources on the internet, manually cleaning and formatting it for the interface I wanted. Those sources include:

I believe all the data I've used is publicly available and free to reproduce. If you have any concerns, please let me know.

Thanks to

Museum of Jerseys for the incredible kit graphics
Roy Beck and his Heroes of N17 website for contributions to captain history and dates of birth/death
Gareth Dace and his Is Gascoigne Going To Have a Crack? book for filling in various bits of information
Chris Gray for his data integrity checks and many helpful feature requests
Alan Parke & Ian MacDonald for providing countless programme covers
Tony Sealey for providing information about which kit was worn in a match
Glen Whall for adding missing kick off times, referees, event minutes and opposition goal scorers. Glen runs Spurs Updates on Facebook.

How did you build the site?

The site is built on Craft CMS and the front-end reactivity is done with Datastar.

Can I help?

I would gladly accept any help! If you can fill in missing details, such as kick-off times, venues, programme covers, dates of birth or nationalities, send them to me. Citing your sources helps me check things before they're added. If you spot a mistake, let me know here.

Can I support you in other ways?

I build and update this site because I love Spurs and enjoy working with the data, but it does cost a bit of money to pay for hosting, domains, software and outsourcing some specific development. If you'd like to support it, you can buy me a beer.
