Great stuff

Top stuff from Tottenham Hotspur.

Singapore Spurs fans Jaidip and Karen Jhala tragically lost their 12-year-old daughter, Sonia, in an earthquake that devastated Malaysia earlier this year.

The family all shared a love of Tottenham Hotspur, and after hearing the awful news, Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino sent them a letter sending his condolences. The Premier League outfit also invited the family to White Hart Lane to watch Spurs take on Stoke.

Spurs have subsequently released a video of the Jhalas‘ trip, which included the family meeting fan favourite Ledley King at White Harte Lane.
