Tottenham Hotspur recently completed the loan transfer for former Atalanta goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini to compete with Hugo Lloris for the starting position in goal. The decision to bring in the Italy international meant that there was no room for veteran goalkeeper Joe Hart.
As a result, Hart had to find a new home for the 2021-22 season if he wanted to see any significant playing time. Celtic FC needing to help at the goalkeeping situation, the Scottish club swung a deal for Hart.
The Daily Mail reported that Celtic offered £1-million for Hart, who signed a three-year deal to become one of the latest reinforcement for the Glasgow-based side.
Hart took to Instagram as he shared a goodbye message despite only appearing in ten fixtures for the London-based club.
The veteran goalkeeper thanked the playing staff and the behind-the-scene members and ended his statement by claiming that he hopes Tottenham can end their long wait for a piece of silverware.
“Evening all. I just wanted to thank the players and supporters of Tottenham Hotspur for the last year I have spent at your club. I know I didn’t spend a lot of time out on the pitch, but I tried my best to push hard on the training ground and wear the badge with pride when I did get the opportunity,” Hart wrote.
“There are some really special people and players at the club … I hope you guys manage to achieve the goals and trophies that everybody associated with the badge craves. I assure you the hard work is going on behind the scenes. Best of luck.”
There may be hard work going on on the training ground or whatever, but not,alas, in the boardroom.
I wish him luck in his new venture.
A solid professional, good luck at your next club (don’t forget to take a brolly).
That is bold a one, “he was a positive dressing room influence during time” what else is going on in the dressing room? Lol seem like salary well spent on an aged keeper with steel mittens
Why were you sending your mum up to his room? Asking for a friend:)
One of the most pleasant people I had a chance to meet and get a photo with a few years ago in Madrid at the Melia Madrid Hotel.He actually approached my wife and I as we were trying to get a picture of ourselves and took it for us. Beats the time when I was 37 and Glen McGrath told me to stop sending my mum to his hotel room. W@nker
Good pro, worked hard, made some gaffes and we made a Mill from him (Begrudging tip of the hat to Levy for that)
Also he’s the spitting image of Superworm as well:

Good pro, worked hard, that’s all we ask…
Good luck Joe the world and his wife mention our lack of trophies. It must be a massive thing at the club.
Joe is a class act and a consummate professional. He was a very positive dressing room influence during his time here. I am sure we all wish him the best on his move to Celtic and the opportunity to establish himself as a first choice keeper again.
