1901–02 Tottenham Hotspur F.C. season
The 1901–02 season was Tottenham's six season as a fully professional club and the 19th year in existence. They competed in three leagues and the FA Cup. The primary focus was the Southern League with a midweek feature in the Western League. The club also competed in the London League for the first time with their reserve players.

In the Southern League over the course of the first 11 games they had only lost too Northampton Town and drawn one. One of the most impressive wins was at home against Watford in which Tottenham had scored eight goals. Their form faulted in December but picked up again after that. Towards the end of the season their form faulted yet again and with it they chance to win the competition. In fact the winners of the league Portsmouth beat them in both home and away matches. In the end Tottenham finished in second place.

The Western League became a similar story to the Southern League. Tottenham had a seven game unbeaten run and came up against Portsmouth yet again only to loose. A big loose to Southampton and a draw away at Reading hampered they chance to win the Western League. They narrowly missed out here with Portsmouth accumulating more points winning yet another title, leaving Tottenham sitting in second place.

In the London League Tottenham reserve players managed enough to finish in second place.

In the FA Cup Tottenham were drawn against Southampton and it took three games to settle the score. A draw home and away and to settle the matter both clubs had to goto Elm Park in Reading. Southampton settled the matter by winning 2–1. They then went on a run to reach the FA Cup final against Sheffield United. Which had to be replayed after the first match was a draw, but lost the second match.
