NEW SHIRT SPONSOR ANNOUNCED

Tottenham Hotspur Football Club is delighted to announce a new shirt sponsorship agreement with Autonomy Corporation PLC, a global leader in infrastructure software for the enterprise.

The two-year shirt sponsorship, effective from Season 2010/2011, will see the

Autonomy brand feature on the Tottenham Hotspur shirt in Barclays Premier League matches and in doing so will become only the fifth brand ever to appear on the

Club's shirt. The agreement also includes a mutual option to extend the

partnership for a further three-year period.

A FTSE 100 listed company, Autonomy is the UK's largest, pure software company,

with over 20,000 global customers and offices worldwide. As part of the relationship, Autonomy will work with Tottenham Hotspur across a wide range of activities

including significant consultancy support for enhanced services to fans and for the

Club's new Stadium and Training Centre developments.

Daniel Levy, Chairman, Tottenham Hotspur, said:

"We are delighted to have Autonomy as our new global partner.

I have been impressed with Autonomy's vision and growth for many years, having previously been an investor. Autonomy is the leader in its field and as such is the ideal partner for Tottenham Hotspur at a time when we continue to grow our existing

operations and facilities with two major capital expenditure projects underway - a new Training Centre under construction and proposed new Stadium development - both of which will include state-of-the-art technology as part of their world-class designs."

We are now in discussions with several brands regarding the shirt sponsorship opportunity for our Cup competitions which will incorporate the FA Cup, League Cup and European Competitions and will keep you updated.

Tottenham have today confirmed that Luka Modric has signed a new

6-year contract which runs until 2016.

Luka Modric commenting on the official Spurs website:

"Tottenham Hotspur gave me my chance in the Premier League and I want to go on

to achieve great success here with them.  Yes, there have been enquiries

from other big clubs, but I have no interest in going anywhere.

Last season's Top 4 finish was an indication of where we are as a Club and

I feel I can continue to improve and go on to achieve everything I want to at Spurs."

Modric joined Spurs from Dinamo Zagreb in July 2008.

The 24-year-old playmaker has gone on to establish himself as a key player in Harry Redknapp's side with impressive displays on the left flank and in central midfield,

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR AND FC BASEL

IN SRI LANKA COMMUNITY PROJECT

From the 17th to the 20th of May, the first module of the Scort-Project Sri Lanka

took place in Mannar, a post-civil war region in the Northwest of Sri Lanka.

In cooperation with the partner club FC Basel (Switzerland), the community department

of Tottenham Hotspur FC as well as the FIFA, Scort realises a social football

initiative for young Sri Lankan women and men.

During four modules within one year Willy Schmid, FC Basel, as well as Joe Lyons

and Karen Hills from the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation, and during the first module

also the FIFA instructor Fritz Schmid, educate 25 young women and men with

different ethnic backgrounds as children’s and grassroots football coaches.

In cooperation with local partners, Scort and the coaches use football as a tool

for health promotion, integration, conveying core values and development.

The young people will be educated as multipliers and will act as role model for

younger ones in the future. During the year and with support of the professional

trainers they are supposed to build up their own football training groups.

The year-long social initiative starts subsequent to the FIFA Grassroots Program in Colombo and is supported by the FIFA, the Football Federation of Sri Lanka (FFSL),

the Swiss company Holcim Ltd. as well as other partners.
