Revealed: What Ange Postecoglou told the Socceroos when he paid them a surprise visit ahead of clash with England for football's version of the Ashes

Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou has dropped in on the Socceroos ahead of their clash with England at Wembley on Saturday, giving an inspirational speech to Graham Arnold and his side.

Australia's squad were having their lunch when they were paid a surprise visit from Postecoglou and legendary 2006 World Cup mastermind Guus Hiddink on Wednesday.

Around 90,000 fans are expected to watch the game at Wembley this weekend, and Postecoglou thought it'd be an ideal time to catch up with the national side he used to coach.

The Spurs manager, whose team remains unbeaten in the Premier League this season, reminded the players about how important the match is to young fans watching back home.
