Send Push

Tottenham Hotspur supporters were out in force to celebrate their triumph on Friday, as thousands of fans attended the club's open-top bus parade in north London.

A goal from Brennan Johnson earned Spurs a 1-0 win over in the final in Bilbao on Wednesday, with manager Ange Postecoglou delivering on his infamous promise to win a trophy in his second season.

And captain Son Heung-min led the celebrations, with the forward carrying the trophy onto a white double-decker bus with "Europa League winners" written across the front. The bus began to drive down the High Road at 5.30pm to chants of "glory, glory Hotspur".

An estimated 150,000 fans were on hand to witness the parade, which was Spurs' first since a 1991 win. The bus arrived at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium at around 7.30pm, with Postecoglou telling supporters: "I told them and they laughed.

"I told them and they didn't believe. But here we are and we're here because of the unbelievable group of people, staff, heroes, led by the legend Son Heung-Min, [Cristian] Romero, [James] Maddison and [Guglielmo] Vicario.

"All of them [are] heroes. And they did it all for you. Because you deserve it. This club deserves it. And I'll tell you something. All the best television series. Season three is better than season two."

Maddison described Wednesday as "one of the best nights of my life" as he told the fans: "With the whole tag around the trophies, we're the group who put that to bed. We'll have that for the rest of lives.

"When we bump into each other in 50 years, we'll always have this night in Bilbao. The best decision I ever made was joining this club."

Son addressed the crowd and said: "You guys have been the same from day one until now. I f***ing love you. We f***ing won the Europa League. And you all deserve it."

Club legends were also present, including Graham Roberts who scored when they won the 1984 UEFA Cup. Roberts said: "This will give them belief now. All that pressure that was there, that's gone.

"We have to strengthen our squad, but I think we have a great bunch of boys. They love Ange, they went round him, they cuddled him, they wanted him in the photos. The team spirit is there. We'll get more now, the rest will come.

"Wednesday was one of the greatest nights. I had tears in my eyes. We were in the fan park, me and Ledley (King). The fans were magnificent. They deserve it. I just hope we get a team on the pitch on Sunday."
