During the match, De Gea’s performance was nothing short of extraordinary. His agility and reflexes allowed him to make a staggering 11 saves, with four of them executed using his feet, setting a record for that season. Fans recall the electrifying atmosphere as he single-handedly kept Tottenham at bay, showcasing his incredible shot-stopping ability.
In addition to his impressive saves, the match was marked by a pivotal moment that would solidify De Gea’s place in Manchester United folklore. Commentator Martin Tyler’s remark about framing the boots due to De Gea’s outstanding performance resonated with fans and players alike, making the boots a cherished artefact of football history.
After the match, De Gea skilfully analysed his performance, sharing insights into his mindset during the game. He mentioned the importance of focus and preparation, highlighting how each training session contributed to his readiness on match day.
Moreover, De Gea’s relationship with his defenders played a crucial role in maintaining a solid back line. He often communicated effectively with his teammates, ensuring they were aware of threats and positioning themselves correctly to support his efforts.
The match showcased a blend of tactical discipline and individual brilliance, further emphasising the importance of teamwork in achieving success at the highest level of football.
Date: January 13, 2019
The story of these boots reflects the journey of David De Gea’s career at Manchester United, a path filled with challenges, triumphs, and unforgettable moments that have left an indelible mark on the club’s history.
In a generous gesture, De Gea gifted these iconic boots to a fan, further solidifying his status as a player who appreciates his supporters. This act of kindness was in response to a heartfelt tweet from his father, showcasing the personal connections that football can foster between players and fans.
These football boots, designed meticulously by adidas, were not just equipment; they were a symbol of excellence in goalkeeping, reflecting De Gea’s status as one of the best in the world.
The match was memorable for a fine string of sales by De Gea to deny spurs, with 11 saves in the game, 4 with his feet which was a record for that particular season. The Manchester United keeper famously framed the boots based upon comments made by commentator Martin Tyler, who suggested based on his performance he should have the boots framed.

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solksjaer: “You expect to win every single game at Manchester United. You won’t, but you must think that. That’s the mentality of this group.
“In the first half we were excellent and in the second they put us under pressure. We could have scored a few as well but we had a good back four and David [de Gea] was unbelievable.
“We created enough chances to put the game away by the break, but if you don’t score you will be under pressure. We defended fantastically.”
The silver boots from adidas, part of the COPA range, featured exquisite craftsmanship, with De Gea’s name elegantly embroidered on the side in black, making them not only functional but also a collector’s item.
The vendor was then gifted the boots by De Gea in response to a tweet from his father.
