6th October 2012 APOLOGIES FOR EDITING!
Hugo Lloris played in goal for Spurs in their Premier League fixture against Aston Villa on this day in 2012, so ending a remarkable record set by the goalkeeper he replaced that day, Brad Friedel. Friedel, the American 'keeper, had played in an amazing 310 consecutive matches in the Premier League, a record that had been set over the course of eight seasons and while with three clubs - playing for Blackburn and Aston Villa before moving to White Hart Lane. To maintain both form and fitness over that period of time is amazing and you wonder will that record ever be bettered?| Name | Apps | |||
