Player murals outside Tottenham Hotspur Stadium become first in UK to feature audio description content for visually impaired fans | OneFootball

The three iconic player murals outside Tottenham Hotspur Stadium have become the first of their kind in the UK to include audio description (AD) services for visually impaired fans.

The Heung-Min Son, Harry Kane and Ledley King murals now feature QR codes linking to audio descriptions of the designs. The initiative has been led by the David Katz Foundation, a charity dedicated to supporting people with visual impairments, in partnership with MurWalls, the artists behind the murals.

The audio descriptions are voiced by Daniel Wynne, the Club’s own AD commentator on matchdays, and Chairman of the David Katz Foundation.

Match-going fans attending tomorrow’s game against Crystal Palace will be the first to enjoy the feature, with the fixture being dedicated to Level Playing Field’s ‘Unite for Access’ campaign. The campaign highlights the need to inspire and celebrate inclusion for supporters with access requirements at sports venues across the country.

Fans arriving early to the match tomorrow will be able to hear from representatives of MurWalls, as well as from SpursAbility, Spurs’ Disabled Supporters Association, about the importance of the initiative during a pitch side interview.

The murals were officially unveiled today by Club Ambassador Ledley King, who put the finishing touches on his own mural at Tottenham Community Sports Centre.

Ledley said: “Inclusivity is so important and our Club does a great job in providing an accessible experience for all supporters. It is something we have always taken seriously, and it has been great to come to my mural today and see first-hand how we are providing that around the stadium."

Marc Silver, CEO & Founder of MurWalls, said: “Being part of the David Katz Foundation (DKF) from its inception has been a genuine privilege. This project is about more than murals — it’s about access, empowerment and inclusion. Through MurWalls, we were honoured to celebrate Harry, Sonny and Ledley for Tottenham Hotspur and its incredible supporters. As co-founder and trustee of DKF, I’m even prouder that we’ve helped bring the audio description to life, ensuring visually impaired fans can experience the artwork just as powerfully as everyone else.”

Matt Collings-Winter, Co-Chair of SpursAbility, Tottenham Hotspur’s Disabled Supporters Association, said: “We are thrilled that the club have elevated these three iconic murals to the next level while ensuring inclusivity not only for our members but for the wider community. We continue to be proud of the work Spurs do to make this football club a place for all.”

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium sets the benchmark for accessibility, delivering an inclusive matchday experience for supporters with disabilities.

The Stadium offers dedicated accessible entrances for both home & away fans, alongside 250 wheelchair accessible bays, 500 dedicated easily accessible seats, 66 accessible toilets and three fully equipped Changing Places facilities.

In addition to the AD commentary services, British Sign Language (BSL) services are available on matchdays and integrated into Stadium tour content, while induction loops are available at kiosks to reduce ambient noise for those who use hearing aids.

The Stadium also includes a Sensory Suite, located in the North Stand, which offers a comfortable and calming environment for supporters with sensory impairment conditions.
