Whoops! English soccer team messes up 'The Great One's' name
Wayne Gretzky, the NHL's all-time goals, assists and points leader, visited the Tottenham Hotspur football club. The English Premier League team presented Gretzky with a Tottenham jersey, but they were a bit off on the spelling.

The photo appeared on the team's Snapchat and Twitter feed (they deleted their mistake from the Twitterverse), but of course it was far too late.
Later the club issued an apology on its Twitter account.
Our sincere apologies to @OfficialGretzky for the shirt error. New one on its way! #COYS

Yikes. Maybe there's a reason Tottenham is just ninth in the Premier League standings.
