Postecoglou issues classy response to viral moment at Spurs fan event

During the week, he appeared at a Q&A session ahead of their north London derby against Arsenal on Sunday.

As the event appeared to draw to an end, Postecoglou stated that there was enough time for one final question.

"No, no, we've got one more question, this young man in front. He's got the best question," he said in reference to Owen, who has Down Syndrome.

Owen asked Postecoglou about the current season and was visibly joyed at being given the opportunity to do so.

It was a moment that went viral on social media and saw the Spurs boss gain admiration from not just his own fans but those of rival clubs too.

Speaking ahead of their trip to Arsenal, Postecoglou was asked about the interaction: "I'm just trying to be who I have been my whole life.

"He was just a young man who wanted to ask a question. That's why we were there and one more question wouldn't hurt. A famous college coach once said 'never be proud about doing the right thing.'"

In response to Owen, Postecoglou said: 'We'll do our best, everybody involved in the football club.

"My side, Robert's [Vilahamn, Spurs Women's boss] side, Beth [England], Sonny [Heung-min Son]. I think we've all said tonight, we understand what it means to all of you.

"To all you folk about this football club, what it means to you and our role is to try and make you happy and proud every time we go out there. So that's what we'll try and do."

Postecoglou has been quick to win the hearts of Spurs fans after his opening run of games as boss.

Despite crashing out of the League Cup against Fulham, he has ensured the north London side remain unbeaten in the Premier League.

Wins have come against Manchester United, Bournemouth, Burnley and Sheffield United, with Spurs sitting 2nd in the table.

Victory against rivals Arsenal would continue Postecoglou's dream start to life at the club as he continues to take plaudits from fans across the world of football.
