Post introduced Tottenham s goalkeeper to leave: he only played for 8 minutes in 10 years, and his side job is DJ, photographer& actor

June 13, The Daily Mail introduced that goalkeeper Alfie Whiteman, who just left the team this summer, is also a DJ, photographer and actor in addition to playing football.

After Tottenham led the team to the UEFA Cup in Postkoglu, after weeks of deliberation, it finally announced that it would part ways with the Australian coach, which aroused dissatisfaction from fans. However, when public opinion focused on the change of coaches, the departure of goalkeeper Alfie Whiteman, who had played for many years, was silent.

The 26-year-old youth training player joined Tottenham ten years ago and was promoted to the first team in 2017. However, except for winning an 8-minute Europa League opportunity under Mourinho in 2020, Whiteman has never received a formal opportunity to play at Tottenham.

Although he did not make a debut, he still won the championship medal. After winning the championship, he told the Times: "The game is seen by the public, but you are also part of the team in daily training. My Wikipedia page appearance column may be blank, but we would not have reached the finals if the whole team was not united. I feel very lucky, but I always longed to make it."

Whiteman, who played side by side with Arnold in the 2015 U17 World Cup, never extinguished his dream of starting even as Tottenham's fifth goalkeeper. But with his unrestrained data on the field, he has won niche sought after by his diverse interests. This local boy, who grew up in Bailu Lane, perfectly balances his identity as DJ, portrait photographer, film club host and even actor. After winning the Europa League, Whiteman watched the 2002 Swedish movie "Lilia Forever" on his way home, and then left the 188th rating of his account on the film review website Letterboxd. His latest score was scored by Pearl Harbor with one and a half stars, complaining that "except for sneak attack scenes, it's all garbage."

In a four-star review for Mission Impossible 6, he revealed that he shared the same foot and ankle surgeon with Tom Cruise and Daniel Craig. Long before the film reviews were released, he had founded a film club in Bethnal Green, and his personal photography collection was about to be exhibited.

Whiteman admitted to TheAthletic: "I have always separated my private life from football. The prejudice that players should focus on playing football is purely a fallacy. Life needs multi-dimensional stimulation to be complete."

Whiteman, who inherited the artistic genes of the jazz guitarist's father, often plays DV for the local radio station NTS. Last summer, he also participated in the London Bomb Factory Theater repertoire. As a low-cost youth training asset, he went through five coaches from Pochettino to Postkoglu, and finally said goodbye when Thomas Frank was about to take over. Despite his rich side jobs, the goalkeeper who is eager to play formally is still looking for a new owner, and of course, he will never worry about pastime during his unemployment.
