Kumho customers rub shoulders with Spurs legends

An annual five-a-side football tournament involving its customers and former players is one of the many benefits of Kumho Tyre’s long-term partnership with Tottenham Hotspur Football Club.

This year saw eight teams battling for glory at the club’s training centre in North London. The participants had travelled in from across the UK and were treated to a tour of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and a skywalk of the ground, some 46.8 metres above the pitch.

Kumho’s guests then travelled to the training centre for the tournament under the tutelage of their appointed managers.

This year’s line-up comprised former Spurs legends Clive Allen, Paul Allen, Sébastien Bassong, Martin Chivers, Michael Dawson, David Howells, Ledley King and Graham Roberts.

Also in attendance was the stadium announcer, Paul Coyte, who acted as MC, and the club’s mascot, Chirpy.

The final match was a clash between Graham’s and Ledley’s charges, with the latter running out eventual winners.

“We are most grateful to the partnership team at Tottenham Hotspur for organising arguably the best of our tournaments to date,” said a Kumho spokesperson.

“Having such footballing greats managing the teams is something our customers will never forget, and it is a privilege for us to be able to engage with them in this way.”
