Well your club were at the forefront. Alan Sugar had a huge influence on the formation of the PL as the TV deal would allow him to sell his Amstrad satellite decoder boxes. And it was Irving Scholar who drove a coach & horses through the FA rules when he set up a holding company that allowed him to circumvent existing rules.
Alongside Spurs, it was united, Liverpool, Everton & Arsenal. These were the clubs who threatened multiple times to break away from the Football League if they didn't get there way over distribution of ticket money, preferential TV deals and the setting up of the PL.
So now you fucking know.
