Over the last 10 - 15 years i have traveled a lot and always felt that Spurs weren’t considered a “big” team overseas. Since the Premier League era, with televised matches available world wide, we were always seen as a a medium sized team with the Man U, Arsenal, Liverpool, and later Chelsea, being the clubs most supported.
I have noticed over the last year or two though that this is starting to change following our successes on the pitch, and as much as we may think that foreign fans don’t matter, as they are likely to just support the teams doing well, the financial rewards in having a large overseas fan base cannot be underestimated.
I came across the following which was an interesting read about Spurs fans abroad, which indicated how we are slowly but surely becoming a global brand. They interview fans from around the world and the response is quite surprising: http://coyslife.com/category/interviews/
I’ve also been surprised myself to see local people wearing Spurs shirts in the places I’ve visted recently such as Thailand, Ghana, and even places in Central America.
I would like to hear from other Spurs fans, to see if you have noticed Tottenhams growing reputation abroad. How have Spurs been perceived in the countries you’ve been to? And wear have you been most surprised to see strong support?
