Former Tottenham icon questions Premier League cancellation decision following The Queen's death

A former Tottenham icon has questioned the Premier League's decision to postpone the game week 7 schedule this weekend following the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

The Queen passed away peacefully on Thursday at Balmoral castle. Her tragic death prompted the beginning of a 12-day mourning period across the UK. With that in mind, the Premier League have decided to postpone this weekend's games to pay respect to Her Majesty.

The Premier League's official website statement said: "At a meeting this morning, Premier League clubs paid tribute to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. To honour her extraordinary life and contribution to the nation, and as a mark of respect, this weekend's Premier League match round will be postponed, including Monday evening's game."
