White Hart Lane demolition will start the day after Tottenham’s final game against Manchester United

The demolition of White Hart Lane will start the day after Tottenham’s final game at the 118-year-old ground, against Manchester United on Sunday.

The clubs expects the work to take three months, as they progress with the build of their new 61,559-seat stadium.

Spurs will play home matches at Wembley Stadium in 2017-18 before returning to north London for the following campaign.

Chairman Daniel Levy has confirmed however that there is a deal in place which would allow Spurs to occupy the national stadium for an additional season should the development work overrun.

Tottenham unveiled the details of a commemorative shirt which they will wear for their final match at their old ground.

As well as displaying the fixture, the shirt features the club’s special edition White Hart Lane crest underneath the collar on the back of the shirt, while the Tottenham Tribute Trust’s logo will appear on the front.

The shirts, which will be auctioned after the match, with the proceeds from the auction - along with monies raised from ‘several sources’ including the sale of memorabilia from the match - going to the Tottenham Tribute Trust.

The trust was formed in 2002 to help former Tottenham players facing difficulty either financially, medically or both, and the club confirmed last month that the TTT would be the designated charity throughout the Lane’s send-off.
