Ex-Spurs Player Toby Alderweireld

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Not won the league since 1957 yet we limp along season after season pretending to try and win things, whilst yielding huge revenues
In fairness,

Union were winning the league up until Brugges equalized in the 89th minute. Then Then Genk were winning the league from the 91st minute until Toby scored in the 94th minute.

Utterly superb end to a season, best I can think of.
 
Maybe not. Explain all the others with similar mitigation..
Can give you the same explanation for almost all of them. Exceptions off the top of my head are Modric, Bale, Walker, Carrick, Berbatov. So many on that constantly updated list are winning things in weaker leagues.

The ones I’ve mentioned all wanted to leave us and had it in them to travel upwards. Everyone else on the list? Travelled downwards. Just in the last few weeks Nuno won a title, so did Joe Hart and CCV. Don’t think any of those wins has anything to do with us not winning trophies whatsoever.

I may have missed someone off my list, apologies if so.
 
It's not his boyhood club.

Toby's boyhood club is Germinal Beerschot, another Antwerp club and RAFC's old local rival.

Beerschot is defunked now but Toby is not a Royal Antwerp lad born and raised.
Defunct. No longer functional.

What a great moment for him.

He couldn't believe he'd scored and looked back to the linesman 4 times as he was running off celebrating.

Lifetime magic memory, right there.
