The Tottenham Hotspur championship team
The following list lists all players who played in a league game for Tottenham Hotspur during the 1950/51 season. It must be noted that in English football a minimum number of games is usually required in order to receive the official championship medal. Since there was uncertainty about the specific regulation before the introduction of the Premier League, all players who presumably did not receive a championship medal due to their low contribution were marked with an asterisk (*). The number of missions and the goals scored are given in brackets. The average age of the team was 29.50 years. Only players who had played ten or more games were considered.
