I saw this on NewsNow, it's from the TalkSport website.......unless I'm immensely pissed and this is some weird dream.....

A man wearing a penguin costume and his father were assaulted on a train to Chelmsford, in a row which appears to have been sparked by football. Officers have released CCTV images in connection with the assault and affray, and are appealing for information about those caught on film.

The incident happened between 11.50pm and 12.25am on 21 December, on board the Liverpool Street to Chelmsford service. A group of around six men were sitting near the train toilet and one of them asked another passenger, a 19-year-old man who was waiting outside the toilet, if he supported Tottenham Hotspur. The passenger, who was dressed in a fancy dress penguin costume, used the toilet and when he came out, he found the group of men blocking his route back to his seat and being aggressive towards him.

The victim’s father, a 56-year-old man, approached the group and tried to pull the victim away, at which point they were both assaulted by the group, who punched and kicked the father and son. The disorder spilled out on to the platform at Chelmsford station. Another member of the public attended to intervene and was also assaulted, sustaining a black eye. The original two victims sustained multiple cuts and bruises to their faces and bodies.

Officers would like to speak to the people shown in the CCTV images as they may have information which could help the investigation.If you recognise them, or have any other information which could help, please call BTP on 0800 40 50 40 or text 61016, reference number 228 of 9 January 2018.

Posted on 10 January 2018 - 10:00

The spirit of Bill Nicholson lives on with Spurs while we move into an exciting stage in our development as the world-renowned club that he did so much to establish.

Our legendary former manager and player sadly died on October 23, 2004. His ashes – plus those of his beloved wife Darkie – were buried under the White Hart Lane pitch that meant so much to him and then – with the family’s blessing – respectfully transferred into safe keeping on a vantage point overlooking the site as the demolition of the old stadium approached.

Now Bill and Darkie’s caskets have been re-interred at a specially-selected location below where the new pitch will overlap the old. This was preceded by a private ceremony attended by the couple’s immediate family.

Bill’s daughter Jean is delighted that her father has “returned home,” and that her parents remain together.

"My sister Linda and I are so grateful for the respect and affection that everyone at the club continues to show towards our father", said Jean. "There is no more fitting memorial than for him to rest below the new pitch, and having Mum by his side makes it even more special.

"Dad's dream was always for his beloved Spurs to be the best in the world and it is clear that this new stadium project is a giant step towards that aspiration. We are proud that Dad played a major role in developing the club's history and that his contribution is being remembered in this way.

"We're sure Dad would have enjoyed watching the current team play, in the way that he always advocated. The fact that the Spurs are taking him with them into the future means so much to us all.”
