A foreign friend asked me yesterday where “ Hotspur “ came from. I had a vague idea, but the answer I gave was a bit muddled and I actually felt a bit embarrassed I wasn’t really clear on it. So did a bit more reading up last night. As far as I’m aware there’s no reference to Henry Percy anywhere in the new stadium. Obviously there’s Percy house which I presume is named after him. Considering we literally take our name from him, shouldn’t there be some reference actually in The stadium. I know some of these characters from the past that have had statues have turned out not to be the most honourable of people. But Henry seemed like a straightforward warrior. The other very freaky thing is obviously his namesake Harry is now our talisman and the resemblance is uncanny.
