Eric Dier

[Boltonspur]

You've gotta love that kind of progression. Shows that the people around him are conscious of his talents and have the awareness to move him around to best foster them.

Although it does make me wonder how many potentially amazing footballers get ruined by mismanagement.

I'd guess there are hundreds, maybe thousands, from grass roots level right to the top leagues in world football.
For every Eric Dier, there's going to be very many who had the ability but were never schooled properly at the right time. or by the right person.
It's all a bit "sliding doors".
But Eric is something very special. And it's great to say he's a Spurs player.

Dier was at Wimbledon today, in with the plebs. Top man.

He could win it if he wanted to.

I pray he wasn't watching the Federer match; can one stadium hold two GOATs at the same time?

Smooth looking fucker there isn't he

His lady friend isn't too shabby either.


Unless it's his sister, of course...

Looks like he grew up at the country club playing golf, not football.

His dad was a professional tennis player and his grandfather, Ted Croker was FA Secretary in the 1980s. He's from the English upper classes for sure.

The English upper classes don't play professional tennis. Or football.

Middle classes then, tennis not a working man's sport. Being FA Secretary would also place you higher up the ladder. Bit like the Woolwich with their Etonian rod up their arses.

Graham Kelly replaced Croker so the point is debatable.

I think, you may have posted this in the wrong thread be mistake mate.

Surely, you meant to post it in the Janssen thread in response to this:

.......When it comes to striking talent Pochettino hasn't got a clue and neither have his scouts.

I really do not get what we are playing at.

Nah, stuff like that doesn't deserve even a sarcastic response - or any real response at all.
