About this listen

 Known for his 'lightning reflexes' and unique playing style, Hugo Lloris has always set himself apart from other goalkeepers. He played for the French national team for fourteen years, as captain for twelve, and won the World Cup in 2018. He spent eleven years with Tottenham Hotspur and as long-time club captain, there are few who know the club better. In Earning My Spurs, Hugo takes us through the glory days and scandals of his career for both clubs and country.

Lloris has always been an immensely popular player, commanding respect for his actions and achievements on the pitch. Behind his clean-cut image lies a tumultuous reality of personal highs and lows, revealed here for the first time. In this riveting autobiography from one of the greatest goalkeepers of the modern game, Hugo Lloris shows what made him a unique player, and why he never hired an agent but decided to make his own way in a world of sharks.©2024 Hugo LLoris (P)2024 Quercus Editions Limited Football (Soccer) Sports Biography

A lot more detail about his time with the french national team than I expected. Would have preferred an extra few chapters on his time at Spurs being that it's in the title but well worth a listen for anyone who supported a side Hugo has played for.

Very interesting and honest story from Hugo but felt he would like to say a lot more about the decade he spent at Spurs the good and the bad.

Time with France

This title is very misleading. If you wanted to hear about Hugo's time with Spurs and looking forward to hearing about the club and team mates, this book is not for you. It's predominantly about his time with the French national team and his love of France. Nothing wrong with that at all, but why call it "Earning my Spurs"? A bit disappointed to be honest.
