Perhaps the biggest rivalry in English football is the North London Derby. On one side, there’s Arsenal and, on the other, Tottenham Hotspur. Whereas (sorry to all the Spurs fans reading this) the Gunners have had more luck as a football club. The Spurs are not far behind. Tottenham have a lot of prominent faces, as well as some veteran captains. In fact, while the maximum of 20 recent captains in Arsenal’s history dates back to 1975, for Tottenham you have to go back to 1955. This speaks to some long-time wearers of the bracelet. Score one for the Spurs!
