Packham blast over training ground plan: SPURS 1..PLANET O

An attempt to overturn a decision to lease the land to the club has been thrown out by the High Court.

Springwatch presenter and naturalist Chris, 63, said: "What's the score at the moment? Tottenham 1, Planet 0.

"We are going to lose so much valuable space... to a small group of people behind fences who kick a ball around. It's nonsensical." He added: "There'll be no football on a dead planet. We are up against the bloated monster that is the Premier League.

"It's another case of David versus Goliath." Spurs hope to turn part of Whitewebbs Park, in Enfield, North London, into a women's football academy.
