Ange’s Spurs to enjoy street parade celebration

Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham will celebrate their Europa League success with an open-top bus parade around the streets of north London on Friday night.

Brennan Johnson’s 42nd-minute close-range finish helped Spurs edge out Manchester United by a 1-0 score in Bilbao to win the club their first trophy since 2008.

Plans have now been unveiled for a victory parade, which is set to begin around 5.30pm on Friday at ***** Street in the Edmonton Green region, travel down High Road past Tottenham Hotspur Stadium before it concludes in the stadium’s service yard on Northumberland Park.

The open-top bus parade will last approximately “between 60-90 minutes”, with a staging area to be erected outside the stadium on Paxton Terrace to host the players and coaching staff for a presentation of the trophy to fans.

Spurs boss Postecoglou, the first head coach to lead the club to European success in 41 years, teased a “massive parade” during his press conference in the bowels of San Mames on Wednesday night.

“What I do know is, I’ll go back to my hotel room, get my family and friends together, open up a nice bottle of scotch, have a couple of quiet ones, get ready for a massive parade on Friday,” Postecoglou insisted.

Tottenham declined the opportunity to hold an open-top bus parade after Carling Cup glory in 2008 and instead presented the trophy to supporters before a UEFA Cup fixture with PSV Eindhoven.

The 1991 FA Cup final victory over Nottingham Forest at Wembley was marked with a parade around the club’s old White Hart Lane stadium.

Johnson’s scrappy first-half finish proved the difference at San Memes and helped Tottenham end a 17-year wait for silverware.

Just as important was Micky van de Ven’s incredible clearance off the line to deny Rasmus Hojlund after 68 minutes.

Afterwards the Dutchman spoke of Postecoglou’s famous, oft-quoted statement that he “always wins things” in year two of a job.

“To be honest I’m really happy he said he always wins something in his second year. We made sure he can keep saying this. We’re happy for him and happy for the team,” he said.

“Probably (critics) will continue but I don’t care anymore. We proved them wrong. We won a trophy so they can say whatever they want.

While Postecoglou’s own future remains uncertain, he did back Tottenham to win further trophies after they “climbed the mountain”.

“Of course we want to build on it,” Van de Ven insisted.

“Every time we played in Europe, we showed our quality, we showed how we can play.

“The gaffer had a big role in this. He kept believing in us, the whole staff kept believing in us. He just made sure we stayed together and as a group we stayed together.

“We kept believing that we could create history with this group and we did it.”
