I went to Esters Pub here in Denver yesterday morning with my friend Mark and sister Susan - seen in the photograph above - to watch Tottenham play West Ham with the Colorado Spurs, a Tottenham Hotspurs supporters club. As usual, the room set aside for the group was packed to the rafters, and so we sat in the main dining area. What surprised me was that the main room filled up with Tottenham fans, too. Who would have thought there would be such a large fanbase here in Denver for an English Premier League soccer club? Tottenham is off to a good start this year, while West Ham is struggling, and so the Spurs had no trouble beating West Ham United by a score of 3-0, which now puts them in 2nd place. Of course, it is a long season, and only time will tell if Tottenham continues its winning ways. But at least for yesterday, the fans left Esters happy. As for me, the only two Tottenham players I knew by name, Harry Kane and Son Heung-Min, have left the club for other teams, meaning I will have to try and remember the names of two other players instead, which is hard when you are an old guy. Bummer.
