Why are Arsenal and Tottenham rivals?

The reason for the two being rivals is not just due to what happened on the pitch but also to what happened off the pitch. The two first met in the league in 1909 and at this time, the Gunners were actually based in South London. Flash forward four years to 1913 and Arsenal relocated to North London, the home of Spurs.

They moved from Plumstead to their new location of Highbury and this put them only five miles away from Tottenham. This now meant that they were not just London rivals, but now local rivals and this one move from Arsenal was the catalyst for creating the North London derby and making it one of the biggest rivalries in England.
