Spurs-fan twins do party double

Sidney said: "We get on extremely well together but unfortunately Harry lives in Essex and I'm in Harrow, so it's a bit of a schlep to meet up."

The twins were born on October 28, 1918, in London's East End. They were separated for the first time after enlisting for the army in 1939 and both went on to serve across Europe and the Middle East.

After the war, Sidney set up a menswear business and Harry, who changed his surname some 40 years ago, ran a silk screen printing business.

The Tottenham Hotspur fans were presented with cakes in the shape of Spurs football shirts in recognition of supporting the club for around 75 years.
