Tottenham apologise to Wayne Gretzky after spelling gaffe

Tottenham have apologised to ice hockey legend Wayne Gretzky after misspelling his name on a shirt they presented to him on Wednesday night.

The Canadian - nicknamed 'The Great One' - was a guest of Spurs at Wednesday's Capital One Cup clash with North London rivals Arsenal.

Before the match, Spurs great Ledley King presented Gretzky with a club shirt with his name on it - but they spelled it 'Gretsky'.

Tottenham later tweeted: "Our sincere apologies to for the shirt error. New one on its way! "

Gretzky responded: "Not to worry It happens all the time!"

Gretzky is widely acknowledged to be the greatest player in NHL history. He played from 1979 to 1999, and scored more goals than anyone in the competition's history.
