Tottenham star Dele Alli has revealed that he was surprised that Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata once asked to swap shirts with him.
Despite the fierce rivalry between Tottenham and Chelsea, Morata chose to swap shirts with Alli following the Blues' 2-1 victory at Wembley in August 2017.
Alli reflected upon the football shirts that have defined his life and career so far in the latest episode of the new BT Sport online series called 'What I wore'.
Asked about the players that he has swapped shirts with, Alli said: 'The biggest one that surprised me was Morata of Chelsea because of the rivalry between Tottenham and Chelsea.
'I think he posted it on his Instagram after. It just shows what a nice guy he is.'
Throughout the interview, Alli wore a Tottenham home shirt from 1996, the year in which he was born.
The England international spotted a Liverpool home shirt from the 2001-02 campaign, which led him to recall how Steven Gerrard inspired him to become a professional footballer.
Alli said: 'He was a massive influence on me, watching him. His mentality on the field - he always wanted to win. I felt like I could relate to that. He was definitely a leader for club and country.'
In addition to Gerrard, Alli also cited his admiration for Ronaldinho and praised the brilliance of Ronaldo as he spotted a 2002 Brazil World Cup shirt.
Reflecting upon the earliest football shirts that he wore as a player, Alli revealed that he has come a long way from playing for a local team in Milton Keynes called MK Rangers.
'I played for a team called MK Rangers. We had a McDonald's logo in the middle. The next year or before that we had a thing that said 'Cleaners R Us'.
'I remember you used to have to wash your kit, you had to take your shorts and socks home and was them.'
Alli also added that he feels vintage football shirts are now becoming more fashionable, especially in America.
He said: 'Before it was basketball shirts but I've noticed now in America a lot of rappers are wearing Premier League shirts or international shirts. It's more vintage ones.
Asked if he could go back in time and play in a shirt, Alli chose the England home shirt from 1998, remarking: 'It's retro. You can wear it for football and fashion'.
Alli is especially fond of Tottenham's current all-white home Champions League kit, which he finds very comfortable.
He said: 'I think it is important to have one that feels good. The Tottenham Champions League one now, the all white one, when you pull it on it fits good and I like it like that.'
Further episodes of What I wore will be released in 2019 and will be available to watch on the BT Sport Youtube channel, Twitter, Facebook and at BTSport.com/WhatIWore
