Super Jan Vertonghen

So I've already posted these in another thread but a player like Jan deserves his own for what he's done for Spurs.




Absolute Rolls Royce of a defender. Was excited to sign him back in the day and he never disappointed. From the early Super Jan celebration at Old Trafford to downing Dortmund in the Champions League playing left back, such a brilliant player to have watched for this football club. In my lifetime, he's up there with Ledley as the best CBs - and one of the best players - to have played for Spurs.

Legend gets thrown about far too easy these days but he's most deserving of the status. Wish him well wherever he goes next and would love to see him back in some capacity when he hangs up his boots.

Cheers, Jan

 

Au revoir, Jan.

A proper Spurs player and a real favourite of mine. I'm glad that I got to see him in the Dortmund game in 2019, where he was absolutely imperious.

We'll miss you and hope to see you back home soon...

One of the best defenders I've seen at the club and one that always got what the club was about , he should have been captain at some point
Good luck Jan and I hope there will be some time and place when the fans can say goodbye and thank you

 

Thank you Jan

Can’t smile without you

 

What really stood out with Verts was that in the summer of 2012 we just lost a Rolls Royce due to Ledders retiring, yet rather than economise and buy a Ford Mondeo we brought in another Rolls Royce as soon as possible - in no small part because we'd supposedly first made contact that January, and Levy was definitely seen in Amsterdam a few weeks before the transfer was completed so he knew how important it was to get the deal across the line

 

A fantastic player. Will never forget his foraging runs into the box from defence.

Such a shame he didn't get to say bye to the fans in his last match.

He's up there with Mabbut and King in terms of being a great servant to the club.

 

What could’ve been had Ledley not retired... Him and Jan at the back, stuff of dreams.

 

What could have been if LAdPCeV-B paired him up with Dawson from the outset instead of Gallas...

 

There was a point when he msde noises about wanting to leave....think it was when Nice but Dim was in charge... wanted him out and had no time for him then.

It is a testament to his performances and his attitude to the fans that he managed to win people like me back over again. Shame Rose could not learn from him.

Was lucky enough to be at the Dortmund match at Wembley in February 2019. His second half performance was only bettered by Defoe's against Wigan. Jan was utterly unplayable in that half and it was a thing of beauty to watch live with my daughter.

Really hope he returns as a coach.

Cheers Jan and good luck

 

Gave us the best years of his career.

Always believed if he demanded it enough he could have got a move to a club like Barca, Madrid but he didnt...he stayed with us during his peak

For that alone he deserves all the love he gets from the fans

Sooooooooper

SUPER JAN VERTONGHEN

 

I think everyone wanted to leave at some point that season, even us fans

 

He wasn't alone in that, as Hugo was making similar noises

It's almost as if they didn't appreciate the additional workload that came from Dim Sherwood believing that there's no need to field a DM...

 

Two of the classiest centre backs we will ever seen in a white shirt

Hopefully SuperJan will come back to Spurs once fans are back to get good send off he deserved.
