Gomes the symbol of re-born Spurs

THERE are no shortage of symbols of Tottenham’s transformation under Harry Redknapp, but few encapsulate the White Hart Lane renaissance more completely than Heurelho Gomes.

The Brazilian goalkeeper could have left White Hart Lane in January, after Spurs were offered the £8million they paid for him in the summer by PSV Eindhoven.

Now, however, he is a fixture in the side, the club’s confirmed number one and leading their charge for a European place.
