Ten years (and a day), 330 appearances, and Ben Davies goes all the way back to the beginning for one of his biggest highlights in a Spurs shirt.

The versatile Wales international defender reached a decade at the Club on Tuesday. Signing for us in Toronto during our tour of the USA and Canada aged 21 on 23 July, 2014, it’s apt he’s on tour again, this time in Tokyo, as he reached such an impressive milestone.

Tributes poured in on Ben’s 10th anniversary - including this, from his team-mate of nine years and close friend, Heung-Min Son - and that’s a mark of the man, as well as a player who has given his all for the shirt in those 10 years.

Speaking to us in Japan on Wednesday morning, local time, Ben reflected: “It’s one of those things where it’s obviously a long time, but it’s felt very quick. There have been plenty of ups, plenty of downs as well, but I wouldn’t have it any other way… it’s been great.”

Asked for a highlight, Ben went back to his full debut against AEL Limassol in the Europa League play-off, first leg, a 2-1 win on a balmy night in Cyprus, where Harry Kane and Roberto Soldado scored, and Ben was joined by the likes of Hugo Lloris, Sandro, Mousa Dembele, Andros Townsend and Aaron Lennon in what was Mauricio Pochettino’s second match in charge on 21 August, 2014.

“There are so many highlights, but I think back to when I made my debut for this club, the first time you pull on the shirt, you realise the magnitude of this club, you realise who you are playing for, and you feel that responsibility. Over 10 years later, that feeling has never gone away.”

The Season: Back Home  Tottenham Hotspur

Jessica Naz was delighted to make her senior international debut on Friday evening as England secured an important 2-1 win over Republic of Ireland in their EURO 2025 qualifiers.

Following an impressive campaign in our colours last term, scoring seven goals in all competitions and registering four assists, our number seven was rewarded by Head Coach Sarina Wiegman with her first cap, coming on as a second half substitute at Norwich City's Carrow Road.

Earning her maiden call-up to the national team's senior side in May, 2024, it highlighted another momentous occasion for Jess at the age of 23, from scoring the goal that sealed us promotion to the Women's Super League in 2019 to stepping out on the pitch as a Lionesses player.

Entering the fray in the 71st minute with her nation leading 2-0 in their EURO 2025 qualifier, Jess nearly made an instant impact and was close to opening her account on the international stage, closing down goalkeeper Courtney Brosnan’s clearance and saw the ball hit the woodwork.

Reflecting on her debut on her official Instagram account, Jess said…
