The emblem

Tottenham Hotspur have used a cockerel as the club's symbol since the 1901 FA Cup final. As the club was named after Sir Henry Percy of Lancaster (known as Harry Hotspur, who was written into Shakespeare's play), it was logical to use his famous spurs and cockerel as symbols.

In 1909, a member of the team named William James Scott cast a bronze statue of the team, but with a spherical base at the foot of the cockerel, it was decided to place the statue on the roof of the stadium's West Stand.
