Spurs misspelt Gretzky’s name on the shirt (Picture: Twitter)

Wayne Gretzky, widely regarded as ice hockey’s greatest ever player, was invited to Tottenham’s League Cup tie with Arsenal at White Hart Lane on Wednesday night.

The club very kindly gave the Canadian star a Spurs shirt with his name on it – except it wasn’t his name at all.

Whoever was in charge of printing the shirt had misspelt Gretzky’s name so it read ‘Gretsky’ but he was far too polite to inform them before posing for a picture with Ledley King.

You can tell by the look on his face that he absolutely knew about the blunder…




Tottenham uploaded a photo of King handing the shirt to Gretzky to Twitter before the tweet was swiftly taken down.
