West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper Ben Foster hailed Joleon Lescott's winning debut at Tottenham.
The former Wolves, Everton and Manchester City star was Man of the Match in the Baggies' 1-0 win at White Hart Lane and Foster is convinced his mere presence in the side gives team-mates a lift.
Foster said: "A lot of lads spark off Joleon. He has got that bit of an aura about him. All the lads around him raise their game when he's there.
"Fair play to 'Joe', the way he read the game on Sunday was absolutely incredible. His vision is fantastic and it's nice to have players like that in front of you.
"We saw it with Craig Dawson as well, he was heading, kicking, blocking and everything. He was absolutely top class as well."
