Spurs: 5 Fun Facts About New Boss Tim Sherwood

5. He's An Arsenal Fan

Here's one you probably already know, given its recent publicity €“ but it's still noteworthy. That's right €“ the man currently in charge of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club was brought up as an avid and die-hard fan of their bitter arch-rivals Arsenal. Although he has since attempted to retract the statement by saying that he currently supports whichever team he is representing at any given time, a television appearance on morning show "Sport & Leisure" saw Sherwood say the following: "I'm an Arsenal fan as a kid (sic). My Dad still goes to the Emirates every week. I love to see them do well". Indeed, there was a rumour that Sherwood used to wear long-sleeved shirts as a player to hide an Arsenal tattoo on his arm €“ though those rumours were never confirmed. Arsenal fans have taken a lot of joy from the fact that their arch-rival's manager was brought up as a Gunner €“ in fact they had a large banner with imagery and wording representing this fact in their recent cup match against the Lilywhites.
