Yes it fits a description of a Spurs Fans.
"a rash or impetuous person who thinks their football team will ever beat Arsenal"
Also found this.....
In 1882 the Hotspur Football Club was formed by young men from a local grammar school and Hotspur cricket club. It is thought that the name Hotspur was associated with Sir Henry Percy (Sir Harry Hotspur) who lived locally in the 14th Century. The team later became Tottenham Hotspur to distinguish itself from another team called London Hotspur.
