"He who dares, wins!" So went one of several catchphrases made famous by Derek "Del Boy" Trotter–beloved character of the popular BBC sitcom Only Fools and Horses.
Playing in an earlier generation, Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Dele Alli would almost certainly have been granted the "Del Boy" epithet by English team-mates. Besides the similar(ish) names, the 19-year-old's role in his side's 3-1 win over Crystal Palace shows he more than embodies the risk-taking qualities of the aforementioned mantra.
Alli is at the right club in this regard.
Besides Tottenham's translated Latin motto being "to dare is to do," head coach Mauricio Pochettino is also encouraging and honing a style of football that veers thrillingly between brilliant and hazardous.
