Ah, I actually now feel old (I hope I actually arn't - born on 1991 - but can already feel that I cannot drink like I used to like 5 years ago... so...) now thinking at Eric Diers career for Spurs.
I remember it so clearly when speculations surfaced of him joining. And I was like... "who dafuq is dat? Englishman from PORTUGAL?". He came in, made a debut. SCORED A WINNER and the only goal in the game while playing RB.
What better way to climb into fans hearts than to score late winner in derby-game?!?
Absolutely insane to think all that happened 9,5 years ago.
And then there was the last season at old White Hart Lane... when we went UNBEATEN at home... while Dier STARTED EVERY HOME GAME this season (missed just 2 away games across 38 games). Purely with that he wrote himself into history books.
He also played part in the biggest international success-story we've seen over long time when we reached the CL final. But this season he played lot less... and I guess this was the season where his downfall started and was never quite the same after that.
Well... anyways. Now he is moving to Bayern, and I for one would be pretty happy if he'd get some big trophies there with his mate Kane.
Once again - good luck!
1991? Almost an OAP
