Watch as Robbie Williams sings Ange Postecoglou Spurs version of Angels

Ange Postecoglou has wasted little time in becoming a hit at Tottenham Hotspur.

And in turn, the Spurs supporters have not missed a beat when it comes to singing his name.

The Australian has guided the club to an unbeaten start in the Premier League after three games. Their 2-0 win over Bournemouth on Saturday follows on from a victory over Manchester United and a draw at Brentford.

After the win over United in North London, thousands were videoed in the concourse of the stadium simply chanting 'Ange Postecoglou', much like the Celtic faithful did during his two years in Glasgow.

Now, Robbie Williams has even jumped on the Postecoglou hype train.

Last week, a Spurs fan went viral for recreating the renowned singer's greatest hit Angels. He changed the words to pay tribute to 'Big Ange'.

It went down so well on social media that even Williams himself has bought into the remastered version of his old song.

A clip widely shared on Twitter last night shows the 49-year-old belting it out with a guitarist.

The lyrics for the chorus are: "And through it all, we'll play the way we want to, with big Ange Postecoglou, whether I'm right or wrong.

"It's Big Angeball, so you can keep your Pochettino, Conte and Mourinho, and even Christian Gross.

"Cos everywhere we go, I'm loving Big Ange instead."

After singing the revamped version of his song, the global star admitted: "I guess I'm a Spurs fan now."

The hugely successful singer is a lifelong Port Vale supporter and in 2006 he became a majority stakeholder in the club.

At the weekend, Spurs midfielder James Maddison revealed he talked to Postecoglou about a move to North London before the Aussie was finalised as manager of the Premier League club.

England midfielder Maddison arrived from relegated Leicester City in a £40million transfer and Postecotlou was a key factor in ensuring he signed on the dotted line.

But the midfielder claimed the 57-year-old, who left Celtic after winning a treble in the summer, wasn't the finalised manager of the club at the time.

Speaking on TNT Sports, Maddison was asked if his new boss' style of play was a major factor in persuading him to move clubs.

He said: "Yeah and that factored into my decision-making over the summer and I said that when I spoke to him. 

"I've said in interviews a couple of times, he's a big pull for Tottenham and when I spoke to him, he hadn't even been in the door yet in the summer.

"He has a way about him the gaffer. He's an honest, straight down the line man."
