Former Premier League striker Emanuel Adebayor was always a player who divided opinion in the top-flight, but the re-surfacing of one of the Togolese forward’s most infamous moments has got some Spurs fans absolutely loving his antics.
Whilst playing for Manchester City in 2009 against Arsenal, his former club, Adebayor scored a deft header to then sprint to the other end of the Etihad and celebrate in emphatic fashion in front of the travelling support from the Gunners.
Adebayor’s celebration divided opinion on the notion of club loyalty, but given Tottenham’s infamous rivalry with Arsenal, this was a celebration that some Spurs fans were simply loving after it resurfaced this week.
