In times like these, football rivalry means nothing in the face of friendship.
One Arsenal fan made a heartfelt move to save the life of his close friend, donating a kidney to his buddy in dire need. However, what makes this story interesting is that the two pals support clubs on the opposite ends of a heated rivalry.
Dany Reid – the Gunners supporter – donated his kidney to his close friend – Tim Reid – who just happens to be a Tottenham fan. The two later posed for a picture at the hospital bed in the jerseys of their respective clubs.
Tim later took to Facebook to right an emotional thank you message to his close friend, but his post contained a few humorous digs at the rivalry between their two favorite clubs.
The Spurs faithful wrote: "No words can do justice for what this guy has done for me and my family.
"Gave me a second chance at life whilst putting his own life at risk by giving me a kidney without any hesitation.
"You are a true hero and everyone deserves the right to know what a top guy you are and the courage you have shown.
"Although you're a dirty Gooner I'm so proud to call you my best pal. Rest up brother I'm not far behind you!"
The “I’m not far behind you” part could be interpreted as a joke about the White Hart Lane side’s desire to finish ahead of their London rivals in the Premier League, having lost that opportunity in extraordinary fashion on the last day in 2015/16.
With the new season not too far away, expect Arsenal and Tottenham to be at each other’s for supremacy in north London in 2016/17.
