Could it be Man U? Here's their 1912/13 team photo in a similar-looking kit: dark shirts with white collars; white shorts; and dark socks with white trim.The Lane in 1912. Opposition?

Can't help on this occasion, don't think I went to that game .......
You're 20 years ahead of your time mate. The away team has hooped socks if you look closely.Will be interested in seeing if anyone can come up with a definitive answer for this.
After digging through the fixtures for 31-32 and 32-33 I'm fairly confident it's a league fixture as we only played 1 FA cup match at WHL in those years (drawing Sheffield Wednesday 2-2 before losing the replay).
If the opposition were in their preferred colours, and the provenance of the picture is definitely 1932, then digging through historicalkits.co.uk I think the possibilities are
United
And Barnsley
But I think Millwall is the larger probability if it's not certain the picture is from 1932 (or if the web history is a little inaccurate). Their 33-35 kit below.
Our kits really didn't change much in that era, so it's impossible to use ours to really establish the year. But we were wearing navy socks and shorts, which seems to match monochromatic very well with the opposition's top where the red I would think might look a shade or two off.
And, obviously, if it were any number of our 2nd division opponents of the day such as Swansea or Port Vale, among others, who would've had to play in their change kit then I haven't a clue. Historical record of change strips is much sportier.
And massive thanks toJoe Clash for asking an interesting question and wasting 3 hours of my life.

EDIT: Oh...it's 1912...well, fuck, not doing that again. Jesus. Not sure why I picked that up as '32. #nightwasted
To be fair.... that could be pretty much ANY team who didn't wear white!Could it be Man U? Here's their 1912/13 team photo in a similar-looking kit: dark shirts with white collars; white shorts; and dark socks with white trim.
Looking through the historical kits of all Spurs' opponents during the 1911/12 and 12/13 seasons, I couldn't find any other that had dark jerseys, white shorts, white trim on the socks AND a white collar.
That said, the records aren't particularly comprehensive, so I'm sure MU won't be the only one that meets all criteria.
Don't know the oppo I'm afraid, it's not Burnley as they no doubt had blue sleeves. Here is a film of same year 1921 at the Lane against Burnley.The Lane in 1912. Opposition?
Where was this filmed? Were we training at Cheshunt by this time?
It's not Cheshunt. I am sure I read somewhere that we trained behind the stadium??? I assume it is the playing fields seen here but just guessing & hoping that I didn't dream this.
Looks like where Northumberland school is now.
Great old photos BTW

Lindsey's teeth. Yikes!
That pitch...I doubt there is an inch of grass.
70,000 crowd. Love that they missed the equaliser and the wham player left for dead at the end.
Shane McGowan pre-new teeth was certainly a sight to see
Thanks for your efforts mate.
