Spurs staff were robbed at gunpoint for an estimated £40,000 in a terrifying raid that put one man in hospital.
Three armed men burst into the Premiership club's catering buildings demanding money in broad daylight.
The balaclava-clad trio are believed to have fled in a gold Lexus, later found abandoned.
A 29-year-old male employee was taken to hospital with facial injuries.
Police confirmed there had been a robbery in Tottenham, North London, at 1.45pm on Tuesday. Tottenham Hotspur FC refused to comment.

Well that sucks. I feel for the employee. Hope this isn't a sign of things to come due to economic woes.

£40k? So what? We regularly get done for £15m at a time these days...

Perhaps it was bandits from Honduras looking for their cut of the Palacios deal!

Gold Lexus? Alan Partridge must be in the frame.

There was an armed robbery within the Emirates trophy cabinet.

Police are looking for thieves that made away with a red carpet and a dusty shelf.


On a serious note, hope the employee is okay and that security arrangements will be improved.

The member of staff should have asked if they'd be willing to accept Jenas instead.

Our defence has caved in again. We should have gone man to man but they clearly exploited our zonal marking of the premises. And another one of our defenders has taken a knock in the process. Come on Spurs, when are we going to toughen up?

Now, if the police had not been too busy arresting people for singing songs, perhaps this wouldn't have happened :wink:

Sol, Sol, wherever you may be
You've just done armed robbery
Now we do give a fuck about the poor spurs employee
You're a judas **** with a load of 50p's
