Known for his 'lightning reflexes' and unique playing style, Hugo Lloris has always set himself apart from other goalkeepers. He played for the French national team for fourteen years, as captain for twelve, and won the World Cup in 2018. He spent eleven years with Tottenham Hotspur and as long-time club captain, there are few who know the club better. In Earning My Spurs, Hugo takes us through the glory days and scandals of his career for both clubs and country.

Lloris has always been an immensely popular player, commanding respect for his actions and achievements on the pitch. Behind his clean-cut image lies a tumultuous reality of personal highs and lows, revealed here for the first time. In this riveting autobiography from one of the greatest goalkeepers of the modern game, Hugo Lloris shows what made him a unique player, and why he never hired an agent but decided to make his own way in a world of sharks.
