4. He's Well Known For Being Forgetful

On joining Leeds United on loan in 2012, Andros realised he had left his boots at Spurs€™ training ground. This was on the day he was supposed to make his debut in a game against Burnley, so he got a taxi to drive 200 miles to drop them off at Leeds' Thorp Arch training base. The then Leeds manager Simon Grayson said at the time: "He borrowed a pair boots to train with the lads on Sunday. "I don€™t know if the training ground at Tottenham was closed or whatever, but they were shipped up by taxi from London on Monday morning for the Burnley game."
