Having spoken exclusively to Tottenham and England midfielder Dele Alli for Sky Sports, Geoff Shreeves gives his account of an afternoon spent in the company of the rising star. Im not going to lie, its going to be hard and its going to be a challenge. That was Dele Alli, in July 2015, when asked if he thought he would be sent out on loan or would possibly feature in the Tottenham first team squad.He totally understood the question mark over his immediate future having been loaned back to MK Dons for the last part of the 2014/15 season. Alli scored a fine goal on his England debut against France in November Since then he has made 30 Premier League appearances for Spurs, scored seven goals, made the same number of assists for Harry Kane, scored a wonder goal on his England debut, scored another wonder goal at Crystal Palace, been lauded by Sir Alex Ferguson, Roy Hodgson and Steven Gerrard among others. Hes also earned a new deal at his club, and is short odds to both start at Euro 2016 and be named Young Player of the Year. Fair to say the question mark has gone, and some.When I remind him of this quote he smiles broadly, as he does a lot during our interview. When you list everything that has happened to him in the last nine months, he confesses: Yes, it has been pretty crazy, a dream come true, it is one of those ones where I am still waiting to be woken up. Geoff Shreeves spoke exclusively to Dele Alli for Sky Sports Yet despite his meteoric rise, unparalleled in recent times, Alli is totally unfazed, and very much in an endearing way. Despite his youthful age, in some ways he was already a man when he arrived at Spurs, and the years he clocked up at MK Dons have served him well.His 10 bookings so far this season are down to two things. Aggression is an important part of my game and also you cant let opponents think you are some 19-year-old kid they can push around. Being in his company you get the sense that he takes absolutely nothing for granted but at the same time fervently believes that his success to date is entirely down to pure hard graft and an unshakable sense of belief in his own ability. Old Spurs boys to decide title? In a very unexpected title race, we look at five former Spurs men who can do their old club a favour He has that rare combination of supreme confidence without a single trace of arrogance. Absolutely none. He simply plays with no fear. Respect for opponents? Absolutely. Fear? Absolutely not.Alli is keen at every opportunity to praise and thank his Tottenham team mates and Mauricio Pochettino for helping him to get where he is now. In fact, not just thank, but make it abundantly clear that without them he would be nowhere near the heights he is currently enjoying. Eric Dier (centre) has acted as Allis big brother at Spurs this season With a huge grin he reveals how Eric Dier has taken it upon himself to be his big brother figure, and how there is zero chance of his success going to his head with Dier and other team-mates around.When speaking about the excitement surrounding his involvement with England and the Euros this summer, he does not get carried away, and is firm and rock solid in making sure he says if selected. So is there a single blot on the landscape? Anything that is spoiling his spotlight moment? Surely there must be a price to pay for all this heady success and adulation? There is; he cant wave at anyone anymore!It all started pre-match in the Capital One Cup last season between MK Dons v Manchester United when the camera was focusing on him. He waved, before doing something similar at training. Of course, it went all over social media with some quite magnificent memes. Now? I cant wave at anyone. If Im in the warm-up or around the ground and spot a friend, if I wave everyone thinks Im doing the wave!With Leicester playing Sunderland before them on Super Sunday, Spurs could take to the field against Manchester United with either the opportunity to close the points gap to four, or it could be standing at a daunting 10 before they have even kicked off. Two very different challenges, both with title-shaping consequences. Having spent time with Dele Alli, I cant imagine it will affect how he approaches the game.Watch the extended interview with Dele Alli on Sky Sports News HQ from 6am on Friday, as well as the written interview on SkySports.com platforms from 6am.

A lot of Chicago Cubs fans have waited a long time to see them win the championship. In this case, it feels like forever.How many people can say they went to the very first World Series game at Wrigley Field?That was in 1929, and future Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens was there. He was in the box seats behind third base a few Octobers later, too, and saw Babe Ruth call his shot.Very definitely, Stevens told The Associated Press this week by phone from Florida. He pointed his bat.Now, at 96 and outdating the ivy on the outfield walls at the cherished ballpark, Stevens planned to be at Game 4 Saturday night when his Cubs host the Cleveland Indians.And he had a playful wish. Well, beyond the obvious.Tossing out a ball from the mound at Wrigley, as he did in 2005. Only this time, at the World Series.Id love to, the veteran right-hander said. Id like to see if I can throw it over the plate again.Stevens said he was still on that bench, but added with a bright tone, I suppose theres a couple days left.The Cubs won 5-1 Wednesday night in Cleveland to tie things at one game apiece. The Series shifts to the city where Stevens grew up for Game 3 Friday night.Not since 1908 have the Cubs won the World Series. They were led by the Tinker-to-Evers-to-Chance double play combination that became famed in verse -- the same year, Take Me Out to the Ball Game was written.Born in 1920, Stevens said he has no recollection from his boyhood days of older friends and family members talking about that championship club.Of the some 7.4 billion people on the planet, no telling for sure if theres anyone around who would recall those Cubs.They are alive, but do they remember? said Robert Young, a senior consultant for gerontology for Guinness World Records. I think theres probably a few.Young estimates there are 4,000 people around the globe who were alive theen, most of them outside the United States.ddddddddddddIts amazing to me the Cubs franchise lasted that long without winning, he added.Before the World Series opener, Stevens had already formed his opinion on the outcome.I think the only question is whether it will be four straight or whether it will take five games for us to win it in Chicago, he said.And even though the Indians and their crowd have been waiting since 1948 for a crown, its been much longer on the North Side of Chicago.The Cubs are entitled to win in this one, I think, he said.Justice for the Cubs, so to speak.Stevens served on the Supreme Court from 1975 to 2010 and in his chambers he had an autographed photo of Cubs great Ernie Banks and a jersey of Chicago pitcher Mark Prior.Stevens also had a framed scorecard from the 1932 game when Ruth pointed. It was a gift long ago from a fellow law clerk, who knew Stevens had seen the Bambino that afternoon as a 12-year-old.As a kid, he followed the Cubs in the fledging days of radio. With more modern devices, Stevens rooted for them as often as he could this season.The Cubs began their drive to end the championship drought this year at spring training in the Phoenix suburbs -- in 1908, Arizona wasnt even a state.They led the majors with 103 wins, but Stevens wasnt about to celebrate early. After so many years of hope and so little success, this is their first World Series trip since 1945.Its hard to acknowledge, but it happened, he said.Just like Stevens imagined, sort of. Shortly before opening day, he told the AP he was anticipating big things from this new, talented bunch of Cubs.I dont think its a question of whether theyll win a championship, he said then. Its whether Ill still be here to see it. ' ' '
