Daniel Levy Receives CBE for Contributions During His Time at Tottenham

Former Tottenham executive chairman Daniel Levy receives a top UK honour.

Just four months after resigning from his role at Tottenham Hotspur, Daniel Levy has been awarded a notable honour.

As reported by The Athletic, Levy has been named a Commander of the British Empire (CBE) for his charitable work and contributions to the community in Tottenham. This is one of the highest awards given, just below a knighthood.

Levy left his position as executive chairman in September after nearly 25 years with the club, making him the longest-serving executive in the Premier League. During his tenure, Tottenham won the League Cup and the Europa League. The team also reached the Champions League final in the 2018/19 season under Mauricio Pochettino, though they lost 2-0 to Liverpool.

“Our achievements were only possible due to the passion and hard work of many people at Tottenham Hotspur, along with our community partners who believe in the potential of sport to change lives,” Levy stated regarding his honour.

“Tottenham Hotspur has always been more than just a football club for me. It is woven into the community, and I take great pride in our initiatives that have helped improve education, employment, health, and social inclusion in the area.”

“While our stadium development and match results attracted attention, I hope my legacy will be the positive impact we’ve made in the lives of people in Tottenham and beyond. Football clubs hold a special place in their local communities, and we have always taken this responsibility seriously at Tottenham Hotspur.”
