Jack Wilshere says Spurs ace is the funniest player he knew in the England camp

Jack Wilshere has named Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Joe Hart as the funniest player he knew in the England camp.

The veteran glovesman joined Spurs on a free transfer last August, penning a two-year deal in North London.

Hart was a regular for Manchester City and England, with close to 350 competitive appearances for the Etihad side and 75 Three Lions caps.

However, his last few years have been difficult for him to say the least.

Pep Guardiola deemed the 33-year-old surplus to requirements, with subsequent loan spells at Torino and West Ham not going to plan.

At Burnley, meanwhile, he fell out of first-team contention and made just three appearances last season.

Although Hart may not have joined Spurs with regular first-team action in mind, he has proven a capable deputy for Hugo Lloris.

The 6ft 5in ace has played eight times this season, and Spurs haven’t lost with him between the sticks.

After Ben Davies spoke highly of Hart earlier this week, deeming him a “great guy to have around the team”, Wilshere has also singled him out for praise.

TBR View:

Hart is undoubtedly a great goalkeeper who hasn’t had the rub of the green in recent years, but his arrival at Spurs has given the club one of the best goalkeeping selections in the league.

As well at what he can offer on the pitch, several people have recently spoken of how good Hart is in terms of camaraderie, with Davies and now Wilshere singing his praises.

And in The Athletic, a club source was quoted as saying: “If we are successful this year, a lot of that will be down to Bale and Hart.”
