1986–87 Tottenham Hotspur F.C. season

Tottenham enjoyed a stellar season under David Pleat. Under his management, the club finished third in the First Division, were losing finalists in the FA Cup and reached the semi-finals of the League Cup. Striker Clive Allen arguably played the most important role in Tottenham's success, scoring 33 goals in the league and 49 in all competitions as Tottenham played their best football in years. For his achievements, Allen won both the PFA Players' Player of the Year and FWA Footballer of the Year awards.

Kit

Tottenham's kits were manufactured by Hummel and sponsored by Holsten. The club retained the previous season's home shirts and shorts but reverted to navy shorts. They also kept the all-blue diagonal-striped away kit,^[1] and introduced, for the first time, a third kit, identical to the away kit but rendered in a darker shade of blue.^[2]
