Adorable 101-year-old soccer fan honored by Tottenham, admires Harry Kane’s warm hands

James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

Irene is an awesome sports fan. The 101-year-old Tottenham supporter has held season tickets at White Hart Lane since the 1930s, and on Sunday the team honored her with an on-pitch introduction and a jersey with the number “101” on it.

Irene is basically the most adorable elderly sports fan ever. The only thing that excited her more than the introduction was Harry Kane’s hands, which she called “lovely and warm” after shaking them in the tunnel.

Well done Irene and bravo Harry Kane for your warm hands.
