Guglielmo Vicario’s passion for Tottenham Hotspur isn’t just his own – his parents have fully embraced the club and the North London matchday atmosphere, making them part of the Spurs family in more ways than one.
Joining Spurs in the summer of 2023, Vicario stepped into the shoes of long-serving captain Hugo Lloris, and his impact was immediate; the Italian goalkeeper’s distribution abilities, along with his reflexes and presence, have made him a crucial player in Postecoglou’s fluid, attacking style of football.
In addition to his technical prowess, Vicario’s presence on the pitch has become one of controlled intensity, which is evident in his vocal leadership when the team faces challenging moments.
However, Vicario’s adjustment hasn’t come without its difficulties, especially when dealing with set pieces against physically dominant sides; yet his passion and resilience are attributes that have earned him respect from fans and teammates alike.
Behind this passion lies a source of inspiration and support that is close to home – his parents, who, much like their son, have fully embraced the club’s culture and atmosphere. The Vicario family’s shared love for football, and Tottenham specifically, has added an intriguing layer to his story as he settles into the North London scene.
For a goalkeeper who prides himself on contributing to the team’s build-up play and mastering the art of distribution under pressure, Vicario’s commitment is more than evident in every match. His save percentage of 67.6% and two clean sheets in the league so far underline his reliability, but it is his mindset and infectious passion, traits he appears to have inherited, that make his journey one to follow closely as Spurs push forward under new leadership.
In a recent interview, Vicario opened up about his family’s commitment to Spurs, revealing that his parents have embraced Tottenham life as fervently as he has, often travelling to London and even making appearances at away games when possible. In a tweet by Ben Haines on X, Vicario explained:
“My parents are very passionate; they are in every aspect here in London in terms of football. They love the atmosphere at home games, and sometimes they try to come to watch away games as well. They love football; they are crazy about it. I am very proud of them, and they are enjoying it – big credit to them. I know they are big customers of the pubs around the stadium. They told me they love to enjoy the atmosphere before the game starts, so yeah, very happy for them.”
Ultimately, Vicario’s connection to Tottenham is more than just professional; it is deeply personal, shaped by family, tradition, and a love for football that transcends borders. This combination of skill, heart, and family pride is exactly what Spurs fans value – and it seems Vicario’s parents have found themselves right at home in North London’s vibrant football community.
