Darren Anderton game saving slide tackle that he ran damn near a 100 yard against Argentina. He always gave 110%, very underrated and great winger for club and country.

[@ChrisMorgan86]

I remember it came off the break counter-attack from Argentina

[@dannybailey9615]

That’s what happens when you play spurs

[@pashiki5480]

His efforts in Euro 96 were hugely understated. Never got the recognition he deserved.

[@purehyperbole5727]

Yes he did.

@@pashiki5480 You prove your original point first. Your post is just the standard social media nonsense.

[@pashiki5480]

@@purehyperbole5727 Not really. Of all the documentaries I have watched about Euro 96 that have been on TV over the years, he was never mentioned. I feel he didn`t get the plaudits he deserved. If you can show me evidence to prove otherwise your infantile "yes he did" reply is nothing but a flippant retort.

He was really good during Euro 96

[@matty6762]

What a nice fella 👏 top player too!

[@jamesaddison2428]

His goal against Sweden is a classic

[@ChadPlainview_]

He was a top player, make no mistake.

[@purehyperbole5727]

No one is making a mistake. Cheers.

Gave me one of the happiest moments of my life when he scored for Pompey in the 92 FA Cup semi final against Liverpool. Thanks Dazza.

When Darren moved to Tottenham he bought a house in Hemel Hempstead and I tiled the roof on the new build property.

[@adilabbas8628]

I dont believe you. Have you got any proof? And dont say go and look at the roof because i could go there and look at the roof and just be staring at a roof, its not definitive proof.

[@e55at]

I was far too young to remember the nickname so I googled 'Darren Anderton sick note' and up came a sky sports article from back then written by Phil Othen. The headline? 'Sick note strikes again'.

[@MrRickytuk]

Anderton would have more than 100 caps if not for injury and an emerging David Beckham.

[@daraghdrake7525]

So only for being not good enough and a world class player in his position. Kieran Dyer would have had 100 as well.

[@thf3038]

Still would have got the caps. The rare times that Anderton and Beckham played alongside each other they combined v well. Notably vs Colombia in 98, and France in 2000.

[@jasonshiers5771]

Quality player but unfortunately he suffered so many injuries Time and time again.

[@dabouzmassi3873]

Ah that ball against the post against Germany.....Top player from an Arsenal fan

[@michaelrudd6041]
