The Boy Hotspur’s Substack spotted a fan named Trevor Wright @trevortheyid, who was filmed approaching Viv Lewis after the match at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on January 17, 2026.
Tottenham lost narrowly 2-1 to West Ham in a tense London derby, with Callum Wilson’s stoppage-time winner sealing the deal for the Hammers.
This defeat added to growing fan frustration with manager Thomas Frank amid a poor run of form (Spurs sitting mid-table with multiple losses).
The fan claimed he told her directly what he thought about the team’s performance, demanded Frank be sacked, urged the family to “sell up,” and highlighted spending £24k on season tickets for “this guano.”
According to his account (and a video clip shared by another user), Viv Lewis simply walked away without responding, and even club legend Steve Perryman ignored him.
He mentioned speaking to her before the game as well, in the corporate section of the stadium.
This comes amid heightened pressure on the Lewis family (Joe Lewis’s daughter Vivienne, along with relatives like son-in-law Nick Beucher), who have taken a more visible role at Spurs since Daniel Levy stepped down as chairman. Fans are increasingly directing their anger at the ownership after recent results, including this West Ham defeat, that left many calling for major changes.It’s a classic case of passionate (and heated) fan-ownership interaction in the post-match chaos—though Viv Lewis stayed composed and didn’t engage.
Steve Perryman was close to the action, but quite rightly refused to get involved,
