Edwin Palacios

So sadly its just been confirmed that the body found recently was Edwin Palacios, brother of Spurs star Wilson. Deepest sympathies to Wilson and the rest of the family.

Wilson hasnt played in a few weeks since the body was discovered and at the Spurs v Man City game 2 weeks ago the whole ground erupted with many chants in support of Wilson, it was incredibly emotional and really touching. Jermain Defoe received the same support when he lost his brother last month. When the players came out at the end for the traditonal lap of honour the chants in support of Wilson continued and some fo the players were visibly choked at what they were hearing - was a lovely moment to be a Spurs fan and not a football in sight!

As much as I love Spurs for footballing reasons I love how they pride themselves on being a family club and I love how the "Spurs Community" supports each other. Spurs are a club involved with many charities and have set up the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation to support disadvantaged peple in the community and do a lot of work with folks with various forms of disability.

Obviously theres more to life than football but i love how Spurs get involved in the things that really matter in life.

It's fair to say we're not going to win the league every year but we're an honest, caring club and I'm proud to be a Spurs fan.

A few more cups would do no harm tho :-)
