being fluent in his native Portuguese, English is
something he was taught to a very high standard
throughout his school life. Yet, the midfielder
candidly admitted, the varying English accents
have, at times, been difficult to understand.

“The coaches speaking my language is good
for me and that’s one more thing that helps me,”
Gedson discussed. “When we need to analyse
something, they can help me. Portuguese is so
different to English though. It’s a little harder to
learn because of the accents.

“For me, speaking English in England compared
to speaking English in Portugal is very different.
The accents - normally English people speak
the language very quickly. It’s the same though
if English people went to Portugal and spoke
Portuguese. My people speak Portuguese very
quickly, use different words and accents. It’s a
hard language. You can’t swap or miss a word.
For example, If Eric Dier speaks to me in English
(Eric spent a decade living and being schooled
in Portugal), I find it easier to understand than
when he has a conversation with someone from
England, they speak so quickly!”

So far with us, Gedson has made seven

months, with four of those coming in the

The experienced German coach spent six years coaching in his homeland
at SV Lippstadt in addition to a spell in charge of Borussia Dortmund II.
Norwich opted to appoint him as their boss in the summer of 2017 and he
finished 14th in his first season in the Championship. This provided little
clue of what was to come, as the following season saw the Canaries
romp to automatic promotion as champions of the division. Farke has
earned a reputation for playing attractive, passing football.

Pukki was a much-travelled front man with spells at a collection of clubs in Finland,
Germany and Spain on his CV. He signed for Celtic in the summer of 2013, scoring on
his debut but eventually being loaned out to Danish side Brondby, who he later joined
on a permanent deal. He scored crucial goals for the club in Europa League qualifying
matches, and eventually signed for Norwich on a free transfer in the summer of 2018.
His goals played a key role in the club’s promotion last season as Pukki scored 29 times
and was named the EFL Championship Player of the Season, as well as winning the
Golden Boot.

TTRrue ColoursUECOLOURSWe all have our favourites when it comes to
past Spurs kits and, sometimes, they can evoke
memories of specific games, moments and the
players who wore them. Continuing our series
for the 2019/20 season, Billy Shaw chats to our
players – past and present – to find out what comes
into their minds when they look back at a selection
of our shirts from seasons gone by. This evening,
Michel Vorm remembers some of our goalkeeping

jerseys from recent years…

SPURS AWAY
GOALKEEPER KIT,
2014/15

“That was from my first season at the Club,” said
Michel as he examined our grey goalkeeping uniform
from 2014/15, which featured bright pink panels
down the sides of the body and on the cuffs of the
sleeves.

“If I see this kit, I think of the run to the League
Cup Final in 2015 and my debut against Nottingham
Forest in the early rounds.

“This was the away version, but to be honest it’s
difficult to remember too much about it.

“Really, looking at this, it just takes me back to
White Hart Lane. It was so special to play there – I
know I played against Forest in this colour and I
think I might have also played in this when we went
to Sheffield United in the semi-final and it snowed.
I couldn’t tell you – I can’t even tell you about
everything I’ve worn this week to be truthful!”

Clearly Michel’s memory is better than he thinks,
as he did indeed wear grey at Bramall Lane in the
second leg of our League Cup semi-final back in
January, 2015.

The home version of this shirt – a reversal of the
colours seen here, with the main body of the kit in
pink with grey detailing – was more commonly used
throughout that campaign, notably by Hugo Lloris in
the final of the aforementioned competition.

Maurice: “Towards the end of the 1960s when the
Double team was beginning to break up, I was asked to
go scouting (as I was injured at the time) to Watford to
watch a young Irish goalkeeper called Pat Jennings. I liked
what I saw, he was tall, strong, agile and commanding
in his area, with such big hands that he could pick a
football up with one hand. I like to think that I may have
been instrumental in bringing him in to Spurs. Pat and
Cyril Knowles were to become great mates with me and
we often went pitch and putting in the afternoons after
training. Pat is still a great friend to me and my family.”

Tonight’s fifth round clash will be just the seventh game
