On Twitter, the club said: "Jose has made the first of his weekly deliveries of fresh produce from the Kitchen Garden at our Training Centre to the food distribution hub at our stadium.

“This will now be distributed by @HaringeyCouncil to those most in-need within our local community. #THFC #COYS.”
