Ange Postecoglou, Henry Winkler

Henry Winkler, the much-loved actor who played Fonzie in Happy Days, sent Greek-Australian manager Ange Postecoglou a message following Tottenham Hotspurs' 2-1 win over Liverpool on Saturday.

During the week, the Athens-born manager revealed that he had posters of Liverpool FC on his bedroom walls growing up, but like his posters of Fonzie, they came down a long time ago.

‘Like any kid, I had the posters up on the wall. Liverpool was my team, but you grow up, things change,’ Postecoglou said.

‘I used to love Happy Days. But I don’t have posters of The Fonz on my wall now. That’s how it goes.’

Henry Winkler took note of the his comments, and offered Postecoglou a signed poster after his side’s win over the Reds.

Watch the video:

'Big Ange, hello from LA, California. Congratulations on your win today,' Winkler said in a video posted to X.

'Henry Winkler here, aka The Fonz, so if I signed a poster for you right now, would you put it back up on your wall? That is the question. Fair dinkum, aaaaay.'

Postecoglou has had a dream start at the North London club, with Spurs currently unbeaten and sitting in second spot on the Premier League ladder.

Spurs came out 2-1 winners from the thrilling game in North London, benefitting from a late stoppage time Joel Matip own goal with the Reds down to nine men following two red cards.

Curtis Jones was sent off in the first half after a VAR review for a high challenge on Yves Bissouma, before Diogo Jota was shown two quick yellow cards with 20 minutes remaining.

Liverpool almost held out, and even saw a goal ruled out for offside despite goal scorer Luis Diaz clearly being onside - PGMOL have since apologised to Liverpool.

Postecoglou refused to get drawn on Jurgen Klopp's comments about the officiating in the match, but the Spurs boss reiterated his dislike of VAR.

'I think I'm on record as saying that I've never really been a fan of it since it came in,' he said.

'Not for any other reason than I think that it complicates areas of the game that I thought were pretty clear in the past, but I can see at the same time why it was inevitable that technology would come in.

'We have to deal with it. The biggest problem I think that we have is that we seem to fail to grasp is that no form of technology is going to make the game errorless. We used to understand that errors were part of the game, including officiating errors.

'You'd have to cop it and some people would cop it better than others but that was part of the game. The game is littered with historical refereeing decisions that weren't right but we all accepted it that it was part of the game because we're dealing with human beings.'
