Tottenham defender Eric Dier sent a signed England shirt to the family of late fitness coach Gian Piero Ventrone.

Spurs were left devastated by Ventrone's passing aged 61 last month.

The popular fitness guru died after a short battle with leukaemia.

Tottenham paid emotional tributes to him at their following matches against Brighton and Eintracht Frankfurt.

And defender Dier sent his family a thoughtful, meaningful message of his own.

Following Ventrone's influence, the 28-year-old returned to the England side in September, nearly two years after his most recent caps.
