On 27 March, 2019 – Ahead of Saturday's friendly match between England and Switzerland, the FA unveiled a shirt emblazoned with the words "Jiggo" in tribute to the recently deceased Sun football journalist Paul Giggins.
Previously, when Paul Giggins was a reporter for Tottenham Hotspur, Harry Kane and Pochettino had formed deep friendships with him.
Harry Kane said in an interview: "Before the match against Switzerland, I would like to pay tribute to Paul Giggins and his family. I met Paul back in england as a U21 youth team, and many of you know him, and all of us would like to express our deep condolences to him and his family and friends. ”
Former Tottenham boss Pochettino said in an interview: "I am very sad to hear the news of Paul's death. He's probably the most journalist I've seen at press conferences during my time at Tottenham, and the questions he asks are often unexpected, and I always expect something from him. I've known him since I came to Tottenham to lead the team to Seattle for preseason, and I remember being the first journalist to hear me speak English in an interview, and I have a lot of respect for him and his family, friends and colleagues. ”
Ahead of last weekend's game against West Ham, Spurs staff members put a Photo Of the Sun in the press lounge at White Hart Lane along with a photograph of Paul and a candle to mourn the club's old friend.
