The former Club captain, Ledley, and the 1978 World Cup winner, Ossie, will be in Mumbai on November 24, attending a watch party for Tottenham Hotspur's Premier League match against Aston Villa on November 26 at Dublin Square, Phoenix Market City.

The free watch party, featuring a live DJ and football activities, is open for registration on the official Tottenham Hotspur website.

During their Mumbai stay, Ledley and Ossie will participate in a cultural city tour and charitable engagements before heading to Bengaluru on November 27.

This includes a special session in partnership with the OSCAR Foundation, a community-based organization using football to encourage children to stay in school and equip them with skills for resilience and future readiness. Since 2010, the charity has empowered over 15,000 children and youth in low-income communities in India.
