Club Ambassadors Gary Mabbutt and Ossie Ardiles proved they haven’t lost their touch on the pitch today as they took part in an over-50s men’s walking football tournament hosted by Tottenham Hotspur Foundation.
The tournament, held at New River Sports & Fitness Centre, featured 13 teams with the aim to promote health and wellbeing through the power of football.
Gary and Ossie both got stuck in and were on hand to give some encouraging words to teams taking part and advice from the sidelines.
Speaking at the tournament, Gary said: “Today’s walking football tournament was a fantastic event. These types of days are a brilliant way to keep fit while still being able to enjoy and play football with likeminded people in the local community. Congratulations to all the teams who took part and the well-deserved winners!”
One of the participants commented: “We are thrilled to have Gary and Ossie attend our tournament today. Their presence added to the excitement of the day and it’s an honour to have such Tottenham legends support our event.”
