History
Hibernian were the first team to popularise the song with the release of a record by Hector Nicol in the 1950s ("Glory Glory to the Hibees"). The same underlying tune was used in "Glory Glory Tottenham Hotspur", which can be traced back to the 1960s. Hibernian also recorded "Glory Glory to the Hibees" in the 1970s after their famous 7–0 win over local rivals Hearts. Tottenham's version was recorded as the B-side for the 1981 FA Cup single, "Ossie's Dream".
