Tottenham Hotspur have officially released the first interview with new signing Andy Robertson, in which the defender discusses his move from Liverpool and the significance of his new squad number.
Reporter: If I'm not mistaken, this is your first... oh, nice. Do you want me to hold it up to show it?
Robertson: Yes, let everyone see it.
Reporter: You can also tell us why you chose the number 3 jersey.
Robertson: Well, yes. Obviously, when I first went to Hull City, I wore number 26, and at Liverpool, I also wore number 26. But when I first came here, I knew in my heart that the number 26 jersey hadn't been used since the legend Ledley King. So, from my perspective, I wanted to respect that.
He is an incredible player who has done so many outstanding things for this football club. However, number 3 is also very significant to me; it's my national team number. Wearing the number 3 jersey for Scotland, I have so many great memories.
So, when I found out that number 3 could be available for me, it was a no-brainer for me. Number 26 is obviously an extremely important number in my life, it has been and always will be. But number 3 is equally important. I hope that wearing the number 3 jersey, I can create as many great memories as I did with number 26.
