The former vice-chair of Tottenham Hotspur has been cleared of punching another customer in a row in Harrods after he claimed he was told to 'f*** off, you dirty Jew'.
David Buchler, 64, who ran Spurs in the early 90s and early 2000s, was accused of punching a shopper after getting into a dispute with his wife at the department store in Knightsbridge.
Mr Buchler was accused of breaking James Birrane's nose after getting into a row with his wife, Rosaria, 54 when she accused him of queue jumping.
But the former Spurs boss claimed that his elbow hit Mr Birrane's face when he raised his arm in self-defence because he feared he was going to be attacked after being told to 'f*** off, you dirty Jew'.
