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!
didnt we go 1 up in that game against the scum?
If only Davids had hit Notso a bit harder :(
yes we did take the lead against the scum. it was them that equalised late on after henry fouled stalteri (literally threw him to the ground to win the ball) and broke into space.
Davids was one of my favourite players, although I was dissapointed when he told Urby Emmanuelson not to join us in 2008, as he felt he should wait for a ‘BIG’ club to make an offer…still a SPUR though…if only Jol played him instead of Ghaly, we would have gotten 4th place that season…
Ah, the parlour moment was the moment Edgar announced his arrival…although not having looked at the links I seem to remember it was against Middlesbrough? First home game of the season.
