LONDON — Zayden Gamble broke into a wide smile.
All around the high school junior, postgame festivities buzzed Wednesday night on the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium turf.
More than 100 players and coaches milled around, found their people, gathered into groups for photos and then dispersed. Players from St. Thomas Aquinas High in South Florida and the London-based NFL Academy introduced themselves, talked about a wild game just completed and what a night it had been in the massive stadium.
Gamble laughed with teammates and took in the scene.
Then, through the crowd, he spotted the man he’d been looking for.
