t was a tale of two footballers at very different ends of the age spectrum as Tottenham Hotspur saw off AZ Alkmaar in the Europa League on Thursday night.
Two players with nearly 20 years between them. One closing on on 500 career appearances, and the other featuring for just the seventh time on the senior stage.
But while Fraser Forster and Mikey Moore may be at completely opposite stages of their footballing journey – the 17-year-old wonderkid has barely crossed Farmer Maggot’s Farm, in Lord of the Rings terms – Tottenham’s narrow victory over AZ Alkmaar in North London was proof that age really is just a number.
Forster, Spurs’ 36-year-old back-up goalkeeper, made a first outing since the EFL Cup victory over Coventry City five weeks earlier.
