This Collage is about how I became a massive fan of the English Premier League football club Tottenham Hotspur. It all started in the summer of 2008 when I went on a school trip to Italy and Greece. At the time, like most Americans, I regarded the sport of soccer with contempt and considered those who played soccer to be "foot fairys". But that changed when I was in Europe. The Prestigious Euro 2008 tournament was going on and from watching it I grew to admire the sport and the passion of the european fans, thus my inclusion of the Roman Coliseum and the logo of the Euro 2008 tournament in the bottom right. Once I arrived home from europe I decided I wanted to find a european club to to follow. I choose Tottenham particularly because of my partial English heritage and my dream of one day traveling to see London. Tottenham Hotspur Football Club are located in North London where their historic stadium, White Hart Lane, is located (the background of my collage). I included Big Ben to represent my desire of traveling to London. I included three of my favorite Tottenham players, Clint Dempsey, Rafael Van Der Vaart, and Gareth Bale. Gareth Bale is far and away my favorite player. I really enjoy watching him play.
