They made Spurs supporter finally smile ... or panic! (8)
I believe the answer is:
lorimers
'they made spurs' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'supporter finally smile or panic' is the wordplay.
'finally' suggests the final letters.
'panic' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'panicking' mean this).
The final letter of 'supporter' is 'r'.
'r'+'smile'+'or'='rsmileor'
'rsmileor' anagrammed gives 'LORIMERS'.
