Here's why Tottenham and trophies have never gone together - Spurs are lucky anyone still thinks we have a Big Six not a Big Five, writes MATT BARLOW

Tottenham’s trophy drought, for anyone who has not been paying attention, is ticking on towards 17 years.

More than 6,000 days have passed since Jonathan Woodgate’s header beat Chelsea at Wembley Stadium in the days when people still thought Carabao was a kind of reindeer.

But the great trophy-laden era for Spurs, 20-odd years of hauling serious silverware from the league and FA Cup Double of 1961 and a song about the glory of the cups at White Hart Lane, ended with the UEFA Cup win in 1984.

Four complete decades since have delivered one FA Cup and two League Cups.
