‘Class act’: Tottenham supporters react as Jurgen Klinsmann posts heartfelt message
Tottenham Hotspur have started the 2019/20 campaign in pretty decent fashion; beating Aston Villa 3-1 and drawing 2-2 with champions Manchester City.
Mauricio Pochettino has recruited some new players during the summer. Tanguy Ndombele, Giovani Lo Celso and Ryan Sessegnon have been added to his ranks.
Yesterday the club celebrated an anniversary on their official Twitter page.
It was 25 years since the legendary Jurgen Klinsmann scored his first goal in English football and unleashed his trademark diving celebration.

He scored what proved to be the winner in a seven-goal thriller that Tottenham edged by a single goal.
Klinsmann only cost £2 million and went onto score 29 goals for the club during the 1994/95 campaign, before joining Bayern Munich the following season.
The German international returned on loan during 1997/98, bagging nine more goals.
Following the anniversary of that memorable first goal, Klinsmann took to Twitter to speak of his fondness for the club:
how time flies by! I will be always grateful to everyone at White Hart Lane for those amazing moments and keep all my fingers crossed for a fantastic season for Mauricio and his team !

Naturally given his hero status at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, supporters have been reacting to the club’s tweet.
Despite only spending one full season at the club he proved to be one of the most natural finishers the club has ever seen.
Supporters have taken the tweet as a chance to reminisce about Klinsmann’s time at the club.
Here is a selection of tweets from Tottenham supporters:
Thanks for the great memories Jürgen. Was an absolute pleasure seeing you score many a goal for our team. You’ll always be a welcome visitor

The most complete striker i have ever seen ….he made finishing look an art form. The word legend is used lightly these days… but in every sense of the word Jurgen is a true legend.

A class act on and off the pitch. 94/95 was magnificent but will always be grateful for you helping us avoid almost certain relegation in 97/98
