Former Spurs stars Glenn Hoddle and Steve Perryman will be the guests of honour at an event organised by Somerset Spurs, the club's official supporters' group, at the Taunton Racecourse on Friday, January 29, 2027.

Hoddle, 69, is widely regarded as one of Tottenham's greatest-ever players, making more than 490 appearances for the North London club and winning the FA Cup twice, as well as the UEFA Cup.

He later managed both Tottenham and the men's England national team.

Perryman, 74, remains Tottenham's record appearance holder, having played more than 850 games for the club during an illustrious career spanning almost two decades.

He lifted numerous trophies with Spurs, including two FA Cups and two UEFA Cups.

The event will give supporters the chance to hear stories and memories from the pair's time at White Hart Lane, with both players expected to discuss some of the most memorable moments of their careers.

Tickets for the evening have proven popular, with photo tickets priced at £50 already sold out.

Standard tickets remain available at £40. Anyone wishing to attend can contact Somerset Spurs by emailing somersetspursofficial@hotmail.com.

All tickets include a hog roast, with organisers asking attendees to make them aware of any dietary requirements when booking.

The 67-year-old singer had watched her daughters Estere and Stella play in an under-14 academy game on Saturday and then watched the senior women’s team on Sunday.

She was pictured in the stands as Spurs slipped to defeat against Chelsea thanks to goals from Keira Walsh and Alyssa Thompson either side of half-time.

Chelsea took the lead when Erin Cuthbert’s corner was cleared towards an unmarked Walsh just inside the area and the England midfielder found the bottom corner, then Thompson followed up to score after Sjoeke Nusken’s shot was saved.

Victory ends third-placed Chelsea’s run of back-to-back losses while Tottenham stay fifth in the table.

Wearing a black coat and matching sunglasses, the Like A Virgin singer was in the stands as the home team lost 2-0 to Chelsea on Sunday afternoon.

It came a day after the 67-year-old watched her twin daughters Estere and Stella play in an under-14 Spurs academy game.

The Queen of Pop has six children: the twins, who were adopted from Malawi in 2017, her son David Banda, who she adopted in 2006, daughter Mercy James, who she also adopted from Malawi in 2009, Rocco Ritchie, who she shares with ex-husband, filmmaker Guy Ritchie, and her eldest child, daughter Lourdes, from a relationship with actor Carlos Leon.

Beginning her career in 1979, Madonna saw her career peak in the 1980s with hits such as Holiday, Vogue and Material Girl.

She had 13 number one singles and 12 number one albums in the UK, including Like A Virgin, Confessions On A Dance Floor and Like A Prayer.

The singer has won seven Grammys including Best Pop Album for 1998’s Ray Of Light.
