England cricket star Trott inspired by Spurs success

England cricket star Jonathan Trott hopes some of Tottenham's success inspires him during the Ashes series.

Trott admits he's a huge Spurs fan.

He told the club's website: "I support Spurs because my family have.

"When my grandad lived in London he supported Tottenham and my father was a Spurs supporter as well.

"My first vivid Spurs memories are probably from the 1991 semi-final. Around then in Cape Town we'd just started getting satellite television.

"I've always remembered Gary Lineker's second goal more than Gazza's free-kick; he lay on his back after scoring and that was it, we were in the final!

"I love the attacking tradition of the club. The current team is really exciting; they play great football and are good to watch."
