'All or Nothing: Tottenham Hotspur' Episode 7: Focus on Harry Winks and the moment he captained his boyhood club
Spoilers for 'All or Nothing: Tottenham Hotspur' Episode 7
It was all about bouncing back stronger for Tottenham in Episode 7 of 'All or Nothing' and despite their best efforts, the results didn't pan out as expected. The episode also focuses on Harry Winks and his captaincy stint when the team faced the Wolves in the absence of Hugo Lloris and Harry Kane who sat out due to injuries. This was a dream come true for the young central midfielder who was part of the Tottenham Academy since he was five.
The episode sees Winks relive the memories of his father taking him to watch Tottenham games. He graduated to the first team after being part of the academy. He has been a regular starter ever since Mourinho's role as the gaffer. One of the sequences in the episode sees a conversation between Mourinho and Daniel Levy, the team owner, who talk about the improved Winks. "Ever since I remember, I always wanted to be a footballer," he says in the docuseries.
"My dad was a footballer as well and he was a semi-professional," recalls Winks. "My dad was a massive Tottenham fan. I used to go to many games as I could. To play for the club that you love and the club that supports you gives that emotional attachment. So when you lose, it's just that bit worse," Winks says in the clip. He made his England debut when he was 21. "It's not something I thought would happen," he explained when talking about his national debut.
Winks received his first call up to the senior squad in 2017. "It was probably one of the greatest achievements— playing for my country," Winks adds. The episode then focuses on his captaincy debut for Tottenham. While the team may have lost the wolves, it marks Winks as the player for the future. Add to this, he also inked a five-year contract with the team in July 2019, so Winks, if he continues to excel as he does, there's no doubt he would don the captain's armband again for Tottenham.
