The next man to win a trophy at Tottenham Hotspur is going to be an instant hero.
Every manager who enters the Spurs building is always reminded about the club’s lack of trophies since the turn of the century.
The London club have had players and managers of different calibre. From proven winners, such as Antonio Conte and Jose Mourinho to Ivan Perisic and Joe Hart. Yet, none of them have managed to get Spurs over the trophy line. In most cases, you have to leave to earn that silverware.
That’s why Harry Kane left, but he has since fallen flat on his face in his debut campaign at Bayern Munich.But one man who has swallowed up trophy after trophy is former Tottenham goalkeeper Hart, who left the club in 2021 and joined Celtic.
The former England number one has helped the Glasgow giants win five trophies during his time in Scotland, including the Treble under a certain Ange Postecoglou.
Andy Townsend hailed the 37-year-old for his efforts and how he has had a ‘very, very good career’, as he told talkSPORT (27/05/24 at 6:40 am).
On Saturday, Celtic beat Rangers in the Scottish Cup final and it proved to be Hart’s final game of his career.
From winning Premier League titles at Manchester City, repping the likes of Burnley and West Ham in between, and ended it in Glasgow with a trophy in hand.
He has rightfully been lauded for his career and how he also managed to pick himself up from when Pep Guardiola told him that he was no longer wanted.
Joe Hart retires after Celtic win Scottish Cup“He has had a brilliant career,” said Townsend. “He’s just had that funny little spell didn’t he when Pep came in and decided that he wanted someone else in goal at Manchester City.
“He then moved on. Where did he go? He went out on loan to Torino or somewhere. One or two others and Burnley. He popped up at Spurs and went to a few different places. He never looked like he was going to grab the shirt on a regular basis, until he ended up at Celtic.
So, credit to him. He has had a very, very good career. A long career. It’s always a difficult one knowing how long to keep on going, it is. When you are getting to that point, for some people, it’s an instant decision.
Joe Hart’s career When Hart was winning trophies at Man City and earning England caps for fun, many thought his career would continue to rise and he would go on to become one of the most decorated English players in history.But when Guardiola came in, it hit a stumbling block that resulted in him struggling for years and years.
In the end, Hart would be delighted that he left Tottenham because he wasn’t number one and his career wasn’t progressing.And that move to Celtic proved to be a masterstroke because he is now a legend at Parkhead and he ends his career with a trophy in hand.
