TOTTENHAM 1900 Large advertising flyer for Military Tournament to be held on a Bank Holiday at the Spurs Ground, High Road, Tottenham. Some of the Champion Spurs players (they won the Southern League in 1900) such as McNaught, Jones, Stormont, Tait, Copeland etc were to take part in a one lap Dribbling Race, 100 yards sprint and Half-Mile Handicap and three new players including new centre forward Brown were also due to take part. The Military Tournament included Cleaving the Boers Head, Victoria Cross Race , Bare Back Wrestling etc and a splendid band was to be in attendance. It is thought that this event took place in 1900 and the flyer exhorted spectators to "Not forget the Good Old Spurs and their Grand Show". The flyer does have a hole which has resulted in the loss of paper where the "A" in "Bank" should be but other than that condition is generally good. Fair-generally good
