Daniel Levy was the target for heavy criticism from Tottenham Hotspur fans during his time as chairman
Tottenham Hotspur's executive chairman Daniel Levy - who has "stepped down" after almost 25 years - will always be regarded as one of the most contentious figures in their history.
He was the driving force behind the world-class infrastructure the club now boasts, from the magnificent new £1bn stadium that stands comparison with any in the sport, to the spectacular training headquarters at Hotspur Way in Enfield.
And yet, instead of being lauded for these towering achievements, Levy's time at the top always be overshadowed for many fans by the lack of success associated with his reign.
While he still retains a minority ownership but will not be involved in the day-to-day running of the club, the news of Levy's exit will be greeted with undisguised delight by a large percentage of the Spurs fanbase.
