About Heurelho Gomes

Heurelho da Silva Gomes is a Brazilian former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper. In the Eredivisie, Gomes was known for his reflexes, which saved points for PSV more than once. Gomes played his first game in Tottenham colours in a pre-season friendly match on 19 July 2008 against Spanish Segunda División B side Dénia, which Tottenham won 4–2. He conceded two goals in his league debut against RBC Roosendaal, which PSV won 5–2, but secured his first team place and played a major part in PSV's four consecutive titles in the Eredivisie and European achievements. In his first season, PSV reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League, where in their 14 previous attempts, they had not reached the second round.
