Former Player Appreciation Thread

I noticed that Gazzaniga was part of the Girona team that has just beaten Barcelona to secure CL football, congrats to him. Looks like he's been their number 1 for the majority of the season making 30 something appearances in the league so he must be doing something right.

A quick wiki glance says the guy made 22 league appearances for us, some very decent performances along with some wobbly ones which is normal for a keeper. It was probably too early for him to really make a challenge for the shirt against a keeper like Lloris.

Not to make this post a slight against Forster but I'd much rather have a younger back up keeper who has the potential to step up and challenge rather than a wise old pro who doesn't really fit the game plan

Well done to Kieran McKenna on getting Ipswich into the PL, and Luongo. 2 former youth players

Fair play to Luongo.. McKenna ditched us at the earliest opportunity to work for his beloved Man U, after we'd supported him through all his injury struggles, so don't really care about him so much.

Was very good with his passing

Interesting to look at the fate of the players in the Ajax semi-final. Only two survivors.

Five years on from the Ajax 2-3 Tottenham epic: where are they now?

Spurs’ fightback to book a spot in 2019 Champions League final was one for the ages. Where have the players ended up since?

Eric Dier, nearly dragged his team of bottlers through to the biggest game of them all.

But even he wasn't enough to counteract Tuchel's idiocy.

Haven't watched much of Bayern, but from tonight and what I've heard, surely Dier should be in contention for England at the Euros?

There was an interview with Dier recently and he pretty much said he should be in the squad
