Tottenham fans hoping to get one last glimpse at the old structure of White Hart Lane will be now left disappointed.

The old South Stand was the last quarter of the stadium to be taken down following the demolition of the West, North and then the East Stands.

Monday's structural development means it has taken Spurs just two months and two weeks to completely deconstruct their home of 118 years.
'While works continue underground to complete the decommissioning of White Hart Lane, the last visual parts of the structure finally disappeared this afternoon,' the club announced via their website on Monday evening.
Tottenham's new stadium is expected to be ready for the 2018-19 season, with them setting up temporary home at Wembley in the meantime ahead of a move into their new 61,559-capacity home.
The ground is set to be the largest club football stadium in London and the single-tier south stand will hold 17,500 spectators.

That seating bowl has been arranged to put supporters closer to the action than at any other stadium in the United Kingdom, and has been inspired by Borussia Dortmund's 'Yellow Wall' at Signal Iduna Park.
Meanwhile, Mauricio Pochettino and his Spurs side will be camped up in the national football stadium for this coming season, with their first game in the Premier League at Wembley against champions Chelsea.
However, before they get to play at the national stadium, Pochettino's side take on newly promoted Newcastle at St James' Park.
