Tottenham fan who was attacked by Sheffield United supporters is given VIP treatment for Saturday's 2-1 win over Brighton - as the 70-year-old is seen enjoying a champagne lunch before taking his place in the dugout

A Spurs supporter who was savagely beaten up by thugs after Sheffield United's FA Cup victory over Tottenham was given the VIP treatment by his club over the Easter Weekend.

Roy Pankhurst, 70, was attacked alongside his son after the Championship side knocked Spurs out the famous cup competition at the start of March.

Tottenham decided that they wanted to try and lift Pankhurst's spirits after the horrific incident and invited him as a guest to their weekend Premier League clash with Brighton.

The 70-year-old enjoyed a stellar afternoon at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium as he watched goals from Heung-Min Son and Harry Kane secure three points and keep the club in the top four race.
