The Giant Killers
TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR
Tottenham can proudly boast being the only club since the formation of the League to have won the cup from outside its membership when, in 1901, they won the trophy for the first time. Membership of the League soon followed in 1908 with Spurs joining the elite division the following year. The next forty years saw Spurs moving between the top two divisions, securing a second F A cup success in 1921 but since promotion in 1950 they've established themselves as a traditional top flight club, being crowned champions twice in 1951 and 1961. The latter of those two titles made up half of the coveted League and cup double and further F A cup wins have followed in 1962, 67, 81, 82 and most recently when the unfortunate Des Walker of Nottingham Forest headed into his own net to secure Spurs the trophy in 1991. Tottenham's rise to become one of England's biggest clubs has ensured that they are rarely thought of in the giant killers mould but their defeat of Everton in 1904 remains among the biggest shocks in the history of the competition.
