It was the enormity of the challenge and I think when we started we didn’t realise what we were taking on.” Daniel Levy is telling The Evenig Standard about the tricky process of building the new stadium at Tottenham Hotspur.

Tottenham Hotspur have just published a 336 page book “Destination Tottenham: The Story of Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.” It tells the story of how the new stadium was created from the very beginning.

Spurs Chairman Daniel Levy says that when the club started on the project of building a new stadium “…we didn’t realise what we were taking on.”
