'If you want a trophy, leave Tottenham!'
It's hard to expect to win at Tottenham Hotspur. Instead, if you leave Tottenham (Taltenham), you can win the trophy. As many as 44 players have lifted the trophy through 'Taltenham'.
It can be a coincidence if there are a single digit or around 10 people. However, if more than 40 players have experienced the same situation, it has a similar weight to the formula or truth. Statistics accumulated one by one over a long period of time prove 'Taltenham = Win'.
The Sun, a British media outlet, said on the 19th (Korean time) 'All 44 players who left Tottenham won the cup, and Kieran Trippier won twice. Harry Kane (Bayern Munich) is still the only one who has not won the cup, he said, introducing the creepy truth of 'Taltenham = winning'.
This is proved once again by Trippier's victory in the Carabao Cup (League Cup). Trippier, who is currently a member of Newcastle United, played a major role in winning the 2024-2025 Carabao Cup final at Wembley Stadium in London on the 17th, helping to beat Liverpool 2-1. Trippier assisted Dan Burn's opening header goal in first-half stoppage time.

Trippier then won his second trophy since 'Taltenham'. Trippier, who was Son Heung-min's 'motivation to join Tottenham' and best friend in the past, left for Atletico Madrid (Spain) in July 2019 and played 'Taltenham' early. And immediately, he experienced a La Liga championship in the 2020-2021 season. He then moved to Newcastle in January 2022 and returned to the EPL to achieve his second career championship.
The Sun said, "'Tripeer's victory caused another horrifying phenomenon in which players at Tottenham went to other teams and won trophies.'" As many as 44 players left the team during Tottenham's 17 years of absence to win the championship, they were mocked as spurs. At the moment, this curse only remains with Kane.

Tottenham has not won in 17 years since winning the League Cup in the 2007-2008 season. Numerous superstar players have poured their energy into winning the tournament at Tottenham, but they have repeatedly failed. World-renowned coaches such as Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte also failed to solve the curse of Tottenham, which failed to win.
What's interesting is that all of these players who left Tottenham won the championship on other teams. This number amounts to a whopping 44. After leaving Tottenham, Luka Modric has won a total of 10 cups, including four league titles and six Champions League titles for Real Madrid. Kyle Walker also won six EPL championships, including a glorious 'Treble' after leaving for Manchester City. All of the familiar names he played with Son Heung-min, including Trippier, Lucas Moura, Toby Alderweireld, Jan Vertonghen, Christian Eriksen, Tanguy Ndombele, Carlos Vinicius, and Eric Lamela, experienced the title after Tottenham.

The next person to fill the formula 'Taltenham=Winning' is Kane. Kane is the only one who hasn't won since leaving Tottenham. He moved to Bayern Munich in the summer of 2023, but failed to win the title because Munich failed to win the title for 12 consecutive seasons in the 2023-2024 season. He also failed to win the Champions League and the German Football Association (DFB) Pokal. The `curse of no officer' attached to Tottenham is the strongest.
But this season, I think I'm finally going to break the curse. Munich is currently ranked first in the Bundesliga (62 points). Recently, he has slowed down a bit and is being chased by Leverkusen (56 points) by six points, but he has a high chance of winning. If Kane wins, there will be 45 players who will win after Tottenham.
Son Heung-min can also join the ranks. If he leaves Tottenham in the transfer market this summer, there is a high possibility that he will escape from the curse of "no relation". Many Tottenham seniors and colleagues proved earlier. There is no reason to stick to Tottenham.
