A Tottenham Hotspur legend forever – Son Heung-min hails sacked Ange Postecoglou
Son Heung-min hailed Ange Postecoglou as a 'Tottenham Hotspur legend' as the club's supporters' trust expressed 'concern' with another change in manager. Postecoglou ended Spurs' 17-year wait for silverware with Europa League success over Manchester United in Bilbao on May 21, but it failed to earn the Australian a third season. Advertisement A club statement on Friday announcing Postecoglou's departure highlighted a woeful Premier League campaign where Tottenham finished 17th, which is their lowest top-flight finish since relegation in 1977. Captain Son was one of several Spurs players to pay tribute to Postecoglou, writing on Instagram: 'Gaffer. You've changed the trajectory of this club. 'You believed in yourself, and us, since day one and never wavered for a second. Even when others did. 'You knew what we were capable of all along. You did it your way. And your way brought this club the best night it's had in decades. We will have those memories for life. Advertisement 'You trusted me with the captaincy. One of the highest honours of my career. It's been an incredible privilege to learn from your leadership up close, I am a better player and a better person because of you. 'Ange Postecoglou, you are a Tottenham Hotspur legend forever. Thank you, mate.' Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario was Postecoglou's first signing and said: 'You are not only a top manager, you are an incredible person to work for, a real leader, a mentor, and someone I'll always look up to. 'What we achieved together will stay in the history books. Wishing you nothing but success as I know you will go on to achieve more and more. Thank you, Boss.' Advertisement Dutch defender Micky van de Ven added: 'Gaffer, thank you for everything! Believed in me from the first day I arrived at the club. 'Many ups and downs in the last two years but you kept believing in us and kept pushing us. Big part of the success from the club this year, and forever grateful that u made me part of it. All the best.' Striker Dominic Solanke signed for Spurs last summer in a £65million deal. He said: 'Thank you for bringing me to this wonderful club, thank you for bringing us a wonderful trophy. '(I) won't ever forget the convo we had before I signed and we achieved a dream! All the best in your next adventure.' Advertisement Right-back Pedro Porro insisted the 59-year-old would 'always be celebrated', writing: 'Thank you for everything, boss. 'I'll always be grateful for the way you led us, defended us, and kept us going through all the highs and lows. Above everything, you gave us one of the greatest moments in the club's history and for that, you'll always be celebrated.' Forward Richarlison added: 'Everyone who loves the Spurs will remember that Big Ange always bags trophies in his second season.' The Tottenham Hotspur Supporters' Trust thanked Postecoglou for an 'amazing night' in Bilbao but acknowledged league results were a 'long way short' of expectation. Advertisement 'Our concern now is that it appears we will have yet another change of direction and that this is something that is becoming a habit since we said goodbye to Mauricio Pochettino in 2019,' a THST statement read. 'We can only hope that the right decision has been made and that the new manager is fully supported by the board and everyone at the club to build on the cup success that Ange has lain. 'He will need the finances to build a strong squad that can challenge simultaneously on many fronts. We wish whoever is appointed well. Spurs fans have had a taste of glory and we don't want to wait another 17 years for more.'

Andorra vs England: When David Nugent nicked Defoe's goal
England travel to face Andorra in World Cup qualification tonight, a David vs Goliath clash when it comes to European football. Thomas Tuchel's side are ranked fourth in the world by FIFA as things stand, a whopping 169 places above tonight's opponents. Advertisement England have won all six previous meetings, scoring 25 times in the process and conceding none. It's a clash that has does not evoke much nostalgia, but it's one that David Nugent will remember fondly. Back in 2007, England were labouring against the minnows. Booed off after a goalless half-time in Barcelona, it required Steven Gerrard's latest Roy of the Rovers impression to get England ahead. Gerrard scored twice to put the visitors in control, before Nugent marked his international debut with the third. Usually, there would be universal appreciation for a debutant scorer, but it's fair to say strike partner Jermain Defoe was a little miffed. Defoe's effort on goal was crossing the line, only for Nugent to stab it in from millimeters out. Defoe gave a wry smile, but on the inside was clearly unhappy. 'Jermain Defoe had a shot, the keeper saved it, but it went under his body and was rolling into the goal,' Nugent later told the Express. 'I used my pace to get there just in time before it crossed the line and tapped it in. Advertisement 'It was going in anyway, but I decided I'd make sure. The pitch was a bit muddy, so it might have stopped in the mud.' Defoe's recollection was slightly different. 'Fuming,' he recalled to Rio Ferdinand presents. 'It was his first England goal so people were making noise about it. But I though, 'I've made the movement to get in, I've shot, snapshot, it's gone underneath the goalkeeper and I'm running away celebrating. He's just come from nowhere and kicked it in the goal!'' Nugent was never capped again, ending his England career with one appearance and one shamelessly stolen goal. Read – What will Cunha and Mbeumo bring to Manchester United?
