Rafael van der Vaart - retired

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46103869


In my top 5 players to play for Spurs, certainly in my lifetime supporting the club. What an absolute legend of a player he was for us, despite only being here for 2 seasons. He loved playing and scoring against the Arsenal terrorised them every single time. He has even come out and said one thing in his career he has regretted is leaving Spurs. Saw some of the best CL games live in my lifetime with him in the side, notably Inter Milan 3-1 at the lane. What a legend, Rafa Your best Rafa moment?

Loved him.

Wanted him when he was at Ajax and thought we missed the boat once he ended up at Madrid.

The most excited I’ve been over a transfer

One of the most unfulfilled talents of the last twenty years. Had such ability but didn’t have the career to go with it. Loved watching him when he was on his game.

His wife was a fine thing if I recall.

Always thought he was a bit of an overated poser tbh.

He loves the club and said it was the best two years for him.

I liked him as well Don, he still comes back to the club from time to time, which shows how much he enjoyed playing for Spurs. if he ever goes into coaching, maybe there will be a job for him sometime at WHL.

Loved the bloke. He and the Spurs fans formed an instant bond, and his passion was second to none. Great player and a great character as well.

Wasn't it publicised that he hit his wife in Germany?
