Danny Rose

Date of birth: 2 July 1990 Position: Defender Caps: 16 Goals: 0 Shy, retiring, understated … three words that will never be applied to Rose. While injured last year he gave an explosive interview in which he was full of praise for his own ability – “I’m not going to be stupid enough not to try and get the most out of it: medals, trophies and salary” – and was critical of some Spurs fans – “I’ll never forget some of the things they were saying about me.” He returned from that injury in October but has struggled to oust Ben Davies on the left of the Spurs defence.
