Tottenham have already made plans for a trophy celebration through the streets of north London and it will take place later this week. The north Londoners beat Manchester United 1-0 on Wednesday night in the Europa League final to end a 17-year trophy drought.

Spurs had not tasted European success since 1984, albeit their latest piece of silverware came from winning the 2008 League Cup.

Manchester United, plagued by a disappointing season and financial woes, were planning merely a casual barbeque rather than any grand festivities following the Bilbao-based final, but those plans have now been shelved.

Tottenham have already pre-warned their community regarding the upcoming trophy parade on Friday. It is due to get underway at 3pm and the route will start at Edmonton Green.

"Dear Neighbour, we hope this finds you well," their message began.

"As you may be aware, Tottenham Hotspur will face Manchester United in the UEFA Europa League final in Bilbao on Wednesday 21st May. We should like to make residents, schools and businesses aware that, if we are successful and bring the trophy home to Tottenham, our first team squad will take part in an open-top bus victory parade through the local area on Friday 23rd May, as is customary.

"Should the historic celebratory event go ahead, residents, please take note of the following information:

"The parade will begin at Edmonton Green at 3pm and proceed south down Fore Street and the High Road past the stadium before turning left at Lansdowne Road, along Willoughby Lane and Northumberland Park, finishing at approximately 4.30pm.

"Our players will present the trophy to crowds gathered from a staging area outside the Stadium on the High Road at approximately 5pm."
