It has been 21,000 days since Tottenham won the league

They face a crucial game on Monday if they are to be considered genuine title contenders, taking on current champions Manchester City at Wembley.

However, history is not on their side when it comes to the title, and today is a landmark in that sense.

October 27 2018 marks 21,000 days since April 29 1961, the day when it was last confirmed that Tottenham were the champions of England.

Mauricio Pochettino, Tottenham manager, would have to wait another 11 years before being born.

Harry Kane will have to emulate the feats of Bobby Smith, Spurs' top scorer from that season, to give his side a fighting chance - Smith scored 28 goals in that season.
