Eric Dier sent Gian Piero Ventrone's family the shirt he wore during England's fixture with Italy in September, claiming the late fitness coach 'helped' him regain is place in the national side.
Dier said Ventrone - who passed away in October at the age of 61 following a short battle with leukaemia - played a defining role in his return to the international scene.
Dier said Ventrone's input at Tottenham helped him earn his first England call-up since 2020 and insisted he would 'carry Ventrone's values with him every day'.
Dier signed the England shirt he wore against Italy in September and sent it to Ventrone's son, Ivan.
