With Stamford Hill special needs school Side By Side holding its gala dinner at the new Tottenham Hotspur stadium, who better to invite than Ossie Ardiles?
The Spurs legend mingled with the 300 guests during the reception, posing for numerous selfies.
Some £400,000 was raised from the dinner, which will go towards funding staff and specialist equipment.
Entertainment included a performance by singer Shloime Gertner, who preceded it by explaining the work of Side By Side and its impact on the wider community.
