Finally! After 17 very, very, very long years, Tottenham Hotspur have won a trophy. It even feels surreal to write that. I must confess to shedding a few tears last Wednesday as nerves gave way to relief and elation when the final whistle blew on what, let’s be honest, was a terrible game of football between Spurs and Man Utd. But for long-suffering Spurs fans, it was a glorious match and moment, the glow of which we’ll bask in for some time yet. Whilst I couldn’t go to the game, I was determined to get along to the parade two days later. I headed straight to White Hart Lane, where thousands had already gathered, despite the bus not passing for another two hours. Overwhelmed by the sheer numbers, I decided to walk along the parade route to where it would begin, in Edmonton Green. The crowds thinned before picking up again as I approached the start. Thankfully, I arrived and got a good vantage point just as the players took to the bus at around 5.10pm. Given that the bus wasn’t scheduled to set off until 5.30pm, it meant the crowds beneath got a good 20 minutes watching the players as they nestled in for the parade — trophy, hugs, drink and so much all included! I took along my Fujifilm xT5 with the 50mm lens and grabbed some photos — photos I’ll treasure for many years to come.
