Tottenham are reportedly facing legal pressure from an Arsenal supporting writer of Barry Manilow’s hit ‘Can’t Smile Without You’ over the club’s use of the track before matches.
The song was written by David Martin, Christian Arnold and Geoff Morrow in the 1970s, with Martin originally releasing the track in 1975 as a single.
However, Manilow’s version, released three years later, has become the most well-known.
Tottenham fans adopted the song, amid suggestions players had sung it on the team bus on away trips in the later 1970s.
The Premier League club have used the song before matches, with fans joining in and adding ‘Tottenham’ at points in the track.
