Tottenham Hotspur FC have taken legal steps against another club, Fleet Spurs requesting they stop using their club name and badge. Fleet spurs where formed something like 40 years ago by ex servicemen who all supported Spurs. They cannot afford the legal fight. And Spurs say they have to protect their branding.
Pity, the French were looking forward to supporting them, what with the cockerel being a national symbol in France and all.
