Tottenham HotspurEric Dier has become the third member of the current squad to pass the 250 game mark for the Club.
The defender celebrated the milestone with a clean sheet and victory at West Brom in the Premier League on Sunday.
He is the 66th player to feature in 250 games or more for Spurs.
Eric joins Hugo Lloris (336) and Harry Kane (301) on 250-plus. Heung-Min Son (242) is also knocking on the door of 250. Indeed, we have 10 players in the squad who have played more than 200 times for us.
Snapped up from Sporting Lisbon in the summer of 2014, Eric famously scored a last-minute winner at West Ham on his debut on 16 August, 2014. Incredibly consistent before being hit by illness and injury in 2018/19, Eric featured in 146 of our 161 matches in 2015/16, 2016/17 and 2017/18.
Capped 43 times by England, Eric, 26, played in Euro 2016 and the 2018 World Cup, where he helped the Three Lions reach the semi-finals, scoring the decisive penalty to beat Colombia in the last 16. He's also captained his country on five occasions.
