Lifted off a forum over here....

Atletico Madrid's La Liga title success means that Kieran Trippier became the 28th former Spurs player to win a trophy after leaving Spurs since Spurs' last trophy in 2008.

Fucking hell, someone is keeping track of that?

I think this guy has been excellent for Wolves but if Spurs want 'entertaining football' he's hardly the man to supply it.

Are Wolves really boring to watch? Not sure they're at the levels of Palace or Newcastle etc. Mind you, we'll see what happens when if he turns up at the home of 'the entertainers'.

What always baffles me is why Spurs consider themselves one of the so-called "Big Six"

They were one of the 'gang of five' (along with United, Liverpool, Everton and Arsenal) who demaded the end of the ticket money sharing agreement, which completely changed the financial playing field in football in the early 1980's. Since then, those other 4 clubs have all won the league at least twice.

Spurs haven't won it at all of course so it's a very pertinent question. I'd say they're "big" only by association.

Every team on the planet wants to be in the Sky Big Six, Big Four, and any thing else that includes MANUre but when we got to the lowliest position at the start of this season we didn't hear anything of the BIG Eleven or the BIG Twelve. Anyhoo, I remember Haringay winning the double in the early 60s when City were well 'n truly shocking! They had the kind of team, playing the kind of football (of its time) that we play now. I don't begrudge TH being top six, but they must remember that they should have the points to go with it! Too many feast on the shite that emanates from Sky who write the entire PL narrative.

Now, I'd imagine that there's quite a few of those 88 players (assuming the figure is correct) have won what would be classed as some as "tinpot/Mickey Mouse" type trophies. But even so.....

Incredible statistic. I could imagine 88 trophies won but 88 players.
Interesting to know who they are.
Walker, Bale and Modric certainly won major trophies.
