Tim Sherwood has revealed that it was he that first discovered Christian Eriksen. Dining out on his ability to spot a star ahead of the pack, Tim gushed:
I watched him at 17 years of age at Wembley for Denmark and I rang (chairman) Daniel Levy the day after and said that he need to sign this boy – £10million later he is finally here, so that is all good news.
And perhaps Daniel didn’t follow up on it as he does not follow-up on every player I tell him, as there are probably too many.”
By my back of a fag packet mathematics, had Daniel Levy bought all the superstars that Tim tipped whilst they were still unknowns, then the Spurs could have afforded to redevelop The Lane in 2010, and halved the cost of season tickets for a decade.
Luis Suarez is 27.
