A bomb disposal squad was dispatched to Tottenham Hotspur's training ground on Friday amid fears an unexploded WWII explosive was found.
Spurs staff were evacuated from the area as a result of the find.
However, it was later found that the item in question was just a piece of metal.
Bomb specialists were sent to the Enfield training base on Bullsmoor Lane shortly after 3pm to deal with the suspected device.
A handful of local residential houses were also evacuated while the bomb experts got to work.
A statement from the Met Police said: “Police in Enfield were called at approximately 15:06hrs on Friday, 29 September to Bullsmoor Lane, EN1 after a suspected WWII ordnance was uncovered in the Tottenham Hotspur training ground."
A club spokesman told The Sun: “An unidentified piece of metal was unearthed on the Training Centre site earlier this afternoon and, as a precaution, the Metropolitan Police cordoned off the surrounding area.
“The incident was cleared shortly after as the object was found to hold no danger.”
