Yes I vaguely remember that at the time, although walking away from such successful team, to play for Spurs still seems odd. Can being that successful become boring, and I wonder if he ever looked back when he was at Spurs and considered that a far inferior keeper to him was picking up medals that could and would have been his?

Anyway, he was certainly a superb keeper and seemingly an all round nice chap. A very sad loss.
