Like Ryan Giggs last night, Spurs’ Homer Simpson lookalike Brad Friedel was another veteran called upon tonight to ‘do a job’ in difficult circumstances.
The 42-year old was brought in in place of the injured Hugo Lloris against Benfica tonight, and he did a solid job as always, conceding 1 goal he couldn’t do much about.
Spurs fan Ravi Cattry remarked on the age difference between Friedel and his younger teammates, and designed a graphich to illustrate it, showing that the likes of Andros Townsend was just 1 year old when Friedel made his professional debut back in 1992.
That’s staying power!
I'd be surprised if he's our regular backup next season.
Seems like he's ambassador/us outreach first, backup second?
Good role for him, smart for the club to keep our US momentum going.
