Tottenham Hotspur have come under renewed pressure to tell their supporters to stop using the Y-word as part of a call to football clubs to follow Chelsea’s lead and do more to fight anti-Semitism.

On the eve of Monday’s Holocaust Remembrance Day, which also marks the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck and Lord John Mann, the government’s advisor on anti-Semitism, have spoken exclusively to Telegraph Sport on their efforts to fight anti-Semitism.

Both men believe that the task is made harder by the fact that Tottenham’s supporters continue to use the Y-word, both inside the club’s stadium and to describe themselves.

“I would like Spurs to tackle it head on and I’ve told them that to their face many times, because that would help,” said Lord Mann. “It impacts outside Spurs and, with a new stadium, I think they are in a position to tackle it far more effectively than they could in their old stadium. And I think they should be.”
