Our latest ‘member of the week’ is our very own co-director of memberships, Nat McLaren. A valuable part of our team, Tottenham is very much a family affair, no better encapsulated than through his sons seeing Gareth Bale, and even appearing on the pitch for the pre-game juniors’ parade at our opening game against Everton this season.
Name: Nat McLaren
Age: 41
Where do you come from? Aylesbury, England
How long have you been living in Toronto? Since March 2015
How long have you been a member? I was a member of Spurs Canada, but rejoined Toronto Spurs in 2022

What was the first Spurs game you watched? I couldn’t tell you
What is your favourite Spurs memory? My sons winning a raffle at a training event and getting to go in the old club house to receive the signed ball. Right at that moment Bale walked through and said, “hi boys”, the following month he was sold.

How often do you come to Scotland Yard pub? Being up in Aurora, I try to make the mid-week matches and then the later (9am or after) weekend games.
If I could change one thing about football, it would be . . . I’d relegate the Gooners, ha ha.
