Tottenham fans defy club requests to stop using the Y-word in chants in the FIRST MINUTE of their Premier League match against Wolves - with supporters also shouting 'We'll sing what we want'

Tottenham fans could be heard chanting the Y-word in the first minute of their Premier League match with Wolves on Sunday, despite the club in the week calling for fans to stop using the word.

A large section of the crowd at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium could be heard chanting 'Thing I love most is being Y**' before chants of 'We'll sing what we want'. There were also chants of 'Y** Army'.

Tottenham supporters adopted the term in the 1970s in response to repeated taunts from rival fan groups about the club's Jewish fanbase.
