During the 1998–99 season, Tottenham Hotspur participated in the English Premier League.
Season summary
A dismal start to the season saw Christian Gross lose his job as Tottenham manager less than a year after taking over.[1] There were a few raised eyebrows when the job went to George Graham – who had achieved so much success during his reign at Tottenham's deadly rivals Arsenal.[2] But the appointment brought instant success: though Tottenham were unable to progress beyond 11th place in the final Premiership table, they triumphed in the Worthington Cup (while also reaching the FA Cup semi-final) to attain only their second European campaign of the post-Heysel era.[3]
