The demolition of White Hart Lane will start the day after Tottenham’s final game at the 118-year-old ground, against Manchester United on Sunday.

The clubs expects the work to take three months, as they progress with the build of their new 61,559-seat stadium.

Spurs will play home matches at Wembley Stadium in 2017-18 before returning to north London for the following campaign.

As well as displaying the fixture, the shirt features the club’s special edition White Hart Lane crest underneath the collar on the back of the shirt, while the Tottenham Tribute Trust’s logo will appear on the front.

The trust was formed in 2002 to help former Tottenham players facing difficulty either financially, medically or both, and the club confirmed last month that the TTT would be the designated charity throughout the Lane’s send-off.
