paul stalteri - fact file

 

Born on 18th October 1977 in Etobicoke, Canada.

Height : - 1.80m

Weight : -  77.7 kgs


A marauding right back, who can also play centre-half, Stalteri was brought in by Martin Jol to bring some much needed experience to the young Tottenham team.  His time in Germany with Werder Bremen saw him not only do the double with his side, but also gain Champions League experience.

When Stalts started in Canada, he played as a forward for Toronto Lynx.

Although he has an ungainly running style, Stalteri has a good engine and gets up and down the right wing, loving to attack when he gets the chance and also has scored a few vital goals.  Has had some rocky periods of his Spurs career, when he has been at fault for goals conceded, but he has always been willing to get stuck in and is ready to play when called upon.

Suffered a series of niggling injuries during the 2006-07 season which kept him out of the team for a large number of games, but got fit for the end of the season and scored a vital last gasp winner at West Ham United before going on to win further caps for his country in the Gold Cup as captain.
