Wayne Gretzky all class after Spurs apology

Tottenham have apologised to ice hockey great Wayne Gretzky.

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 personalised shirt - but they spelled it 'Gretsky'.

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

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