Tottenham Hotspur fans have expressed their love for former captain Michael Dawson after a Twitter account named Spurs Nostalgia reminded fans of one of his most iconic quotes.

The central defender, who is still playing at Nottingham Forest, was a key member of Spurs’ squad between 2005 and 2014.

And, ahead of the final game at White Hart Lane, in which Spurs beat Manchester United 2-1, Dawson said: “White Hart Lane is a special place and Spurs is a club I will love for as long as I live.”

And Spurs fans have been quick to gush over the 35-year-old, who was one of the club’s longest-serving stars.

Dawson, a long-term captain of the side, made a total of 324 appearances in north London, winning the League Cup in 2008 and helping the side into the Champions League under Harry Redknapp, as they reached the quarter-finals.

Regularly partnered with Ledley King at centre-back, Dawson also won four caps for England.

And supporters believe that he is a legend in north London, having never wavered in his commitment to Tottenham.
