Redknapp may as well have been describing himselfWasn't Jamie Redknapp the first to actually use the expression? I'm sure he was reviewing a game and mentioned us being a bit well...Spursy. It then stuck. Prior to that I think we were just referred to as soft centered. Always a team who played some nice football but lacked the physical edge in games. I think Jol was the first to really have us fighting and to be taken more seriously. We were still losing big games though and considered legends at times.
Spursy is just an updated expression of what people were saying about us since the 90s I think.
