How did you come to be a Spurs supporter?
Started watching English soccer as a young kid in Northwest Ohio, where we would get the CBC broadcasts of one game a weekend. Spurs had flair. To dare is to do, right? Stuck with me.

Luka Modrić, past. Currently, Son.

What do you do when not watching Spurs matches:

I lead the marketing and communications team at the Ohio History Connection. I also play music in Moviola.

How did you come to be a Spurs supporter?

I was always interested in EPL but never had a club to support. Then one of my friends, Luke Shomo, invited me to a Spurs watch party and I was hooked! Been rooting for Tottenham ever since 2017.

Favorite Spurs players now or ever?

Heung-min Son because he wants to be in Tottenham and he has an extra gear I’ve never seen in a footballer before. Just brilliant to watch.

What do you do when not watching Spurs matches:
I’m the owner of 614 Unlimited LLC so I’m usually working on one of our brands or a client’s project. I’m also one of the guys who came up with the 5th Line movement for the Columbus Blue Jackets so I’m a HUGE fan of hockey too.

How did you come to be a Spurs supporter?

Basically 1982 when I was born I became a Spurs fan as my father was an avid fan. Always enjoyed the history and our club never bought success (though the 90’s were rough)

My favorite Spurs players now or ever?

Sonny absolutely current for not only his play on the pitch but how much he does off it.

What you do when not watching Spurs matches:

Outside of the club I’m one of the Directors at Community Refugee & Immigrant Services and sometimes an artist and muralist.

Shmulik Epstein, Vice President

How did you come to be a Spurs supporter?

I am originally from Israel and have lived in Columbus, OH since 1974.

When I was 10 years old in the fall of 1960, my dad got a job in London representing the government of Israel.  Before we left for London, he said I needed to pick a team to support.  He was a staunch Manchester United fan and my older brother supported Liverpool.  I had him show me the current table (September 1960), and since we were heading for London, it was a no brainer.  Spurs were at the top and eventually won the double in May 1961. For almost three years I spent many Saturday afternoons at White Hart Lane. Since then, 61 years have gone by, and good or bad, win or lose I am still with them.

My favorite Spurs players now or ever?

Of all time is Jimmy Greaves, a goal scorer that is second to none – even Harry Kane. Another favorite of mine was Gazza. None of our current squad come close to those two, but if pressed, I would say Son.

What do you do when not watching Spurs?

After 27 years in the Dental world and 7 years in Human Resources, I finally got to retire and enjoying every moment, mostly reading, Traveling, and doing Non-Profit work. COYS and TTID!!

How did you come to be a Spurs supporter?
Started watching EPL soccer on cable in the early 2000s when you were lucky to get one or two games a week.  I quickly identified with the perennial underdog Spurs compared to the Big 4 (at the time).  Following them is definitely a roller coaster ride but when they hit their highs, they are amazing!  COYS!

Favorite Spurs players now or ever?
On the 2023-24 squad, I’m a big Richarlison fan.  I love to see the energy he brings and his physical presence in our opponent’s box.

What do you do when not watching Spurs matches:
I still play soccer (in 50+ leagues).  It’s not pretty but I feel lucky to still get out on the pitch (while my joints hold up).  I’m also a big Crew fan, and love to hike and keep up with the Columbus food and beer scene.

How did you come to be a Spurs supporter?
Was looking at what live sports I could start watching in the morning on the weekend when waking up and soccer was it. Wanted to find a team that had an “English sounding” name that wasn’t top 4.  Ended with Spurs or Everton and leaned toward Spurs due to Robbie Keane and just been a fan of them ever since.

Favorite Spurs players now or ever?
This is a hard one for sure. Really spending a lot of time thinking about an aspect of the game that I thoroughly enjoy and if there is a player because of it.  Easy answer can be like Sonny, Kane. However I did enjoy Dele when he first joined, really helped with the style of flair he displayed plus his behind the life of a soccer player helped make them feel more “human”.  BAE was another that seemed like a dope guy and was very honest which i think angered a bit of the fan base.

What do you do when not watching Spurs matches:
I’m a network engineer lead for Managed Services as my day job. I do enjoy running and playing hockey and golfing as well.

How did you come to be a Spurs supporter?
Became a Spurs supporter because I was looking for a team to get behind back in 2011 to get into soccer. Grew up a huge Steve Nash fan so the choice was obvious.

Favorite Spurs players now or ever?
Hugo Lloris, he’s always been the man for the club threw the good and bad and doesn’t get all the love he deserves, side note: Allez Les Bleus

What do you do when not watching Spurs matches:
I work at Nationwide Arena as part of the changeover crew, watch sports, and go running
