Special day for Spurs hero Tony

going with brother Chris who played as a professional with Hull City and has lived in Huddersfield all his life.

The 61 year-old still keeps a close eye on the Terriers’ progress and has revelled in their recent successes.

“The new ground is close to the old Leeds Road and it’s lovely,” Galvin said.

“Every time I’ve been the atmosphere has been great and my friends who go all the time say it was incredible last season.

“As a team they don’t score a lot of goals but defensively they’re fairly tight.

“They work very hard early on in the game and they’ll try to nick and early goal.”

“Aaron Mooy was very consistent last season and has started very well this season as well.”

Galvin is well-placed to judge the significance of this fixture - with a foot in both camps - and it isn’t lost on him.

“I think Spurs will be too strong for Huddersfield on Saturday but for them it’s a learning process,” he said.

“It’s going to be a special occasion for a lot of people and it’ll be a great day for the town, whatever the result.”

Christian Eriksen has recovered from illness and is available for Tottenham’s Premier League game at Town, but Serge Aurier is suspended.

Eriksen, who missed Tuesday’s Champions League win over Apoel Nicosia, is expected to return but Aurier will sit the game out after his red card against West Ham.

Mousa Dembele remains sidelined with an ankle injury while Danny Rose and Victor Wanyama are both still missing with knee problems. Erik Lamela is also out as he continues to recover from an injury to his hips.
