Under manager Harry Redknapp, Tottenham Hotspur enjoyed a strong Premier League campaign, finishing 4th and qualifying for the Champions League for the first time in the Premier League era. The team combined attacking flair from Benoît Assou-Ekotto, Aaron Lennon, and Jermain Defoe with midfield creativity from Luka Modrić and Tom Huddlestone. Defensively, Ledley King provided leadership, while Heurelho Gomes was solid in goal. Spurs maintained a fast, counter-attacking style that troubled top sides. Cup competitions were less successful, with early exits in the FA Cup and League Cup, but the season marked a historic milestone in the club’s modern era.
