ANGE POSTECOGLOU faces a repair job at Spurs – more than 30 years on from fixing the broken-down banger he used to ferry about football icon Ferenc Puskas by the roadside.
Tottenham’s new boss acted as unofficial interpreter and chauffeur for Puskas when he played under the Hungarian legend at South Melbourne Hellas in the late ’80s.
Puskas spoke passable Greek but no English, so captain Postecoglou – who was born in Athens but moved to Australia aged five – translated for his manager for three years.
Postecoglou was blown away by how humble the Magyar magician was.
Though Puskas did amusingly lean into his superstar status on one occasion when his young defender’s clapped-out Datson 200 ran into some problems en route to the airport.
