Jermain Defoe leads the tributes on Twitter for a Tottenham supporter who died after Spurs' win over West Brom at White Hart Lane last night.

A Tottenham Hotspur supporter has passed away after going into cardiac arrest during Spurs' victory over West Bromwich Albion at White Hart Lane last night.

The 81-year-old fan suffered a heart attack during Tottenham's 1-0 win over the Baggies and was treated by paramedics in the stadium.

The man was later taken to North Middlesex Hospital but medics failed to resuscitate him, and he was pronounced dead that evening.

"The club can confirm that an 81-year-old male fan suffered a heart attack at last night's Premier League fixture against West Bromwich Albion at White Hart Lane," a Tottenham spokesman said.

"We have since received confirmation that he later died in hospital. Our thoughts are with his family at this sad time."

Spurs striker Jermain Defoe, who scored the only goal in last night's match wrote on Twitter: "RIP to Spurs fan that sadly passed away at last night's game. Condolences to all his family!"

Rafael van der Vaart and Jake Livermore also paid tribute to the supporter on the social network site.
