In 2024 I founded the Tottenham Hotspur Grave Society with a clear aim - To find the burial locations of my clubs former players. Now I am restoring many too.heroesofn17.co.uk London, EnglandJoined June 2026
The gentleman below is George Alexander Foreman who joined us in 1946 and scored 14 goals in 38 apps.
The centre forward died on this day in 1969. Walthamstow born and died I have so far been unsuccessful finding his final resting place.
Any help would be appreciated.
Stanley Briggs is our legacy number 1. He was born in Stamford Hill in 1871 and played in our very first FA Cup match against West Herts in 1894.
He moved to Canada in 1913 and it was on this day in 1935 that he died aged 64.
He rests in Scandia Cemetery in Shell Lake, Canada
There is a section dedicated to my research on my new website which you can find by clicking below.

Billy Minter gave the club 33 years service. He scored 101 goals before becoming trainer in 1920, manager between 1927 and 1929 and assistant secretary between 1930 and his death on 18th May 1940.
Here you'll see his grave as I found it in Tottenham and after its restoration!
Ernest Geare Hudson was born in Tottenham on 5th March 1871 and made 1 Southern League appearance in April 1901 in a makeshift side owing to the first XI resting ahead of our FA Cup replay.
He moved to Canada shortly after and died on this day in 1943 aged 72.

Whilst in Tottenham Cemetery yesterday I found the grave of Henry Goshawk.
Not one of our 11 original founders but Henry was one of the young men pictured in 1885 in our first team photo before our match with St Albans.
Goshawk would've been present on the Tottenham marshes.
This page will be dedicated to my research into the final resting places of our clubs founders, players and managers, coaches and directors.
To date I have spent 2 years wholly dedicated to finding 516.
I hope to reach out to as many Spurs supporters as possible.
Derek Albert King
15.8.1929 ~ 16.6.2003
Derek made 19 League appearances between 1951 and 1956 but was unable to dislodge the almost ever present Harry Clarke at centre half.
He once lived on Paxton Road.
He died on this day in 2003 and rests in City of London Cemetery.
Today marks the 90th anniversary of the death of our 1901 FA Cup winner Edward Hughes.
Ted joined in 1899 and made 181 first team appearances.
He rests in the St James Churchyard in Enfield. Sadly, a fire in 1967 destroyed their records and his grave is now ilegible.
