Mikey Moore has revealed 'Someone Like You' by Adele was his pick for his Tottenham initiation song. A daunting moment for some who are new to the first team as they have to sing in front of their teammates and staff, Moore's big moment came last summer in South Korea.
After making his senior bow for Tottenham with appearances against Manchester City and Sheffield United only two months before, the 17-year-old was part of Ange Postecoglou's squad for the pre-season tour of Japan and South Korea. It was in a restaurant in South Korea where he had to sing in front of everybody, with new boys Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall also having to do likewise.
Admitting that his choice "ended up working" as the players could join in with his song, Moore confessed that Bergvall's attempt was "terrible".

"So it was in a restaurant in Korea I think and all of a sudden you know you're about to sing when you hear the glass get tapped," he outlined in a video on where he and Dane Scarlett were questioned by Junior One Hotspur members in a press conference. "It might have been Sonny and then I was thinking 'oh no' and he said 'Mikey, Archie, all the new boys' and you have to go up and sing.
"We had to stand at the front of the restaurant with all the staff, all the players and I chose Adele 'Someone Like You' to sing. I went a bit out there but it ended up working because they could join in with that song. It ended up going all right to be fair. Lucas Bergvall was terrible!"
Speaking back in September, Bergvall admitted his initiation was that bad that he was "booed afterwards".
"I sang Abba's 'Dancing Queen'. It was really, really bad. I was booed afterwards," admitted the teenager in an interview with Swedish media outlet Aftonbladet.
Moore may have dubbed Bergvall's song as "terrible" but that is in fact a word Son has also used to describe the youngster's hairstyle.
When asked if they had to swap hairstyles with a Tottenham teammate both Moore and Scarlett were in agreement over Radu Dragusin. "Radu. He's gone that long, big bun," said Moore. "If I could grow hair like that I would choose him. He's scary as well!"
He added: "Sonny hates my hair, he thinks it's terrible."
