Evenin’.
This is a tad self indulgent, but when am I not? It has emerged that Spurs ex Edgar Davids was instrumental in the process that delivered VdV to our highly esteemed doors.
This is so immediately believable as he has demonstrated a very similar passion and commitment to ‘us’.
“I had some contact with Edgar, who had also played for Spurs, and he told me it was a great club and the people are good,” Van der Vaart told Tottenham’s official magazine, Hotspur . “He also said the league would fit me well.
“It wasn’t easy to leave Real Madrid because I had a great life there. They are the biggest club in the world so I was quite happy, but when Spurs came in I spoke with the manager and the chairman, fell in love with the club and wanted to join Tottenham.”
My two personal most favouritist Davids moments are thus; that Keane goal against Ar5ena1.As those teo Gooner chumps fanny’d about trying to decide if they were injured or not, BMJ bellowed, “Play…play … play!” and Edgar’s ball to PSB gifted the equaliser HERE.
My second is also against Boro; Edgar tackled Ray Parlour so hard the schmuck landed on on top of him. Davids simply stood up and Parlour fell off the Dutchman’s shoulders, HERE.
So just a cheeky yet well deserved, ‘thank you again yet again, sir’ to our old mate.
BIOYC!
Shame we didn’t play Davids in his preferred central position. Had he played instead, he would have dominated more often.
Seems Davids was trying to get Kuyt to join Spurs too!
Yes a big thank you to him. He brought real leadership and steel to the club and team.
1st… Time ever I agree with HH. The Edgar vs Parlour tackle plays over in my mind before sleep arrives every night.
I fuqing loved it.
The only EPL team with a masked hero. Did anyone find out who he was. he would have looked extra dashing in the 2009-10 shirt with the cape.
