It was the day before Valentine’s Day, in 2019. Tottenham welcomed an imperious Borussia Dortmund side to Wembley for a Champions League round of 16 game – it was high stakes.

Spurs were without Harry Kane and needed a hero; someone like Son Heung-min or Christian Eriksen to step up.

Instead, Jan Vertonghen took the game by the scruff of the neck from left wing-back, putting in a man of the match display in a 3-0 win.

The beautiful Belgian scored Tottenham’s second goal before his iconic Superman celebration.

This win was a highlight of the Mauricio Pochettino era and the inspiration for the Super Jan Vertonghen site.
