The Spurs legend is set to take to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this weekend against Inter Forever.
Tottenham Hotspur’s new stadium is up and running, with one test event having taken place so far and another one coming up this weekend ahead of its first Premier League match.
In order to achieve a formal safety certificate for fixtures to be held at the new stadium, the club is required to hold two test event matches with increasing levels of attendances.
The first of those two events – an Under-18 Premier League game – involved a crowd of 28,987 seeing the Lilywhites run out 3-1 winners last Sunday thanks to first-half goals from J’Neil Bennett and Harvey White, a deficit-halver by Kornelius Hansen, and Dilan Markanday’s third for the hosts.
Up next, on Saturday 30 March, is an exhibition clash between a Spurs Legends side and Inter Forever, the legends side of Serie A club Inter Milan, which is set to boast a capacity of approximately 45,000 and will kick off at 5:30pm.
One legendary player who has been tabled in to play for Tottenham against the Nerazzurri is France icon David Ginola, who impressed on the wing for Spurs in the late 1990s and lifted the League Cup in 1999 with the Lilywhites.
Tottenham made the announcement on their official website and noted that it will be a poignant occasion for David, who is set to take part in a game for the first time since suffering a cardiac arrest in a charity match in France nearly three years ago.
Ginola posted a Twitter message, quoting Spurs’ announcement:
