We don't like Spurs, and probably have a disproportionate dislike for all things Tottenham, but we would appeal to anyone who knows a Spuds fan or if any read this: Would you please put your ear to the ground and help find this low life!

A 100-year-old woman was mugged outside her home after returning from a prayer meeting.
The centenarian was pushed to the ground by a man who stole her handbag, which contained between £250 and £300.
She had confronted the suspect outside the property in Sherboro Road, Tottenham when he claimed to be there to do electrical work.
Her grandson, who was at her home when the robbery happened on 23 August, chased the man but he escaped, Ashley Aitcheson, 31, said the attacker had pretended to be a council worker before the robbery.
He said the man looked "like a drunk". He was white, about 35 years old, wore baggy clothes and he had a beard. The attacker was last seen heading towards Seven Sisters Road.

'Distressed and shaken'
The victim was taken to hospital but did not suffer a serious injury.
Det Ch Insp Luke Marks said the victim was "extremely distressed and shaken". He added: "This was a despicable attack on a very elderly lady who lived independently and is now fearful to return home.
"At 100 years old she had the sense and foresight to dismiss the suspect when he tried to con her into unnecessary electrical work but he then decided to mug her instead."

Imagine if this had been your mother/grandmother/aunt or just a neighbour? - Ed

UPDATE: Police have arrested a suspect, Jawad Naser, 37, of Gladesmore Road who is due before Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court later.
