I coach my daughter’s U11 team in the Eastern Suburbs in Sydney. Before Sunday my daughter was the only player at the club that I have seen wear a Spurs shirt at training.
On Sunday I helped out at the boy’s U10 trials. There were about 70 boys and about half of them wore the club shirts. Of the remainder there was a great variety of club shirts. Barcelona was the most common – 5 boys were wearing them but the great surprise was Spurs was second and worn by 3 boys – with 2 having a player’s name – Bale & Van der Vaart. All shirts were new as they had either of the current sponsors.
There were many other usual club shirts worn by 1 or 2 boys including ManU, Liverpool, Chelsea, Real Madrid, Roma, Juventus and Sydney FC.
I believe that our attacking focus and attractive style of play is bringing a whole new generation of fans to our club.
I would presume this phenomenon may also be taking place across Asia as well. It augurs well for our club to join the world elite.
