April saw one of our favourite Trust events of the year, the annual Spurs Quiz Night, take place at The Antwerp Arms. The event was completely sold out and we were delighted to welcome Trust members to a lively and very entertaining evening. Our special guest, Michael Dawson, met with everyone who attended, took part in the Spurs staff team and judged our caption competition. In short, he was a complete star.
Part of the Trust’s remit is to support charities and other organisations in the local community, and this event raised over £1100 for the wonderful Studio 306 Collective.
We are enormously grateful to all the people who helped raise this magnificent total, including everyone who attended and The Antwerp Arms for their generosity in hosting and donating prizes. Thanks also to everyone who donated raffle prizes: with the star prize being a signed first team shirt donated by Spurs, as well as a very generous meal voucher provided by The Victoria Stakes and a signed Glenn Hoddle poster courtesy of Futbolista .
Our evening was hosted once again by Theo Delaney, of Spurs Show and Life Goals fame. Theo also devised a very special round to challenge us all, in which excerpts from Life Goals were shared and we had to identify the scorer, or some other detail. Life Goals feature celebrities who talk about what particular goals meant to them – you can imagine how emotional it was for us all to hear our own late, great Pete Haine describe his feelings around the Lucas Moura third goal in Amsterdam.

It is always a huge pleasure that Spurs send a staff team to participate in the quiz. They have a huge amount of knowledge between them and have won the quiz for the last two years. This time, however, they were challenged by many of the teams, and in the end six teams were separated by just five points. Congratulations to Spurs Ladies Are On Their Way to Wembley for their well-deserved win. See you next year when you defend your title!
