Ask his peers, and one word that will keep cropping up when talking about Oliver Skipp is ‘humble’.

So, it’s no surprise when asked about reaching 100 appearances for us in all competitions, always such an achievement for a player coming through our Academy, that ‘Skippy’, Spurs through and through, told us, ‘I don’t take it lightly’.

Now 23, the midfielder from Welwyn Garden City made his debut off the bench in the League Cup at West Ham on 31 October, 2018. His Premier League debut followed off the bench against Southampton on 5 December, his first start against Burnley 10 days later. He’s already reached 71 league appearances within his first 100.

It’s also no surprise that Skippy couldn’t shake off the disappointment of losing against City in the FA Cup as he reached his century on Friday evening.

Speaking on our Review Show, he told us: “I would have liked to have got it in a win, of course, but it’s something I’m very proud of. I’ve always said coming through the Academy, it’s always a dream to pull on the shirt and play in front of those fans.

“I’ll reflect on it in a few days with immense pride but at the moment, I’m just disappointed we didn’t get through to the next round, because that was the objective."

“I always want to keep improving, keep pushing. I don’t take it lightly that I’ve managed to play 100 games for this Club, it’s a big achievement and something I can always look back on, but, for me, it’s about continuing to improve.

“We’ve had a new manager this season and he’s been a breath of fresh air for everyone. There is a lot of improvement that needs to be done and can be done with this group, a young group, a lot of talented players playing in the league for the first time and will get better. So, we’re all disappointed to lose against City, but promising signs.”

Ask his peers, and one word that will keep cropping up when talking about Oliver Skipp is ‘humble’.

问起他的同龄队友，在谈论奥利弗·斯基普时，他们总会提到的一个词就是“谦逊”。

So, it’s no surprise when asked about reaching 100 appearances for us in all competitions, always such an achievement for a player coming through our Academy, that ‘Skippy’, Spurs through and through, told us, ‘I don’t take it lightly’.

因此，当被问及在所有比赛中为我们出场100次时，这位彻头彻尾的热刺人“斯基皮”告诉我们：“我不会轻视它”，这并不奇怪。对于我们学院的球员来说，这总是一项了不起的成就。

Now 23, the midfielder from Welwyn Garden City made his debut off the bench in the League Cup at West Ham on 31 October, 2018. His Premier League debut followed off the bench against Southampton on 5 December, his first start against Burnley 10 days later. He’s already reached 71 league appearances within his first 100.

现年23岁的这位来自威尔温花园城的中场球员于2018年10月31日在西汉姆联队的联赛杯中替补出场，首次亮相。他在12月5日对阵南安普顿的比赛中替补出场，完成了他在英超联赛的首秀，10天后又在对阵伯恩利的比赛中首次首发。在他的前100场比赛中，他已经参加了71场联赛。

It’s also no surprise that Skippy couldn’t shake off the disappointment of losing against City in the FA Cup as he reached his century on Friday evening.

同样不出所料的是，斯基皮在周五晚上达成百场里程碑之际，还是没能摆脱输给曼城的足总杯比赛的失望情绪。

Speaking on our Review Show, he told us: “I would have liked to have got it in a win, of course, but it’s something I’m very proud of. I’ve always said coming through the Academy, it’s always a dream to pull on the shirt and play in front of those fans.

他在我们的回顾节目中告诉我们：“我当然希望能在胜利中迎来这一刻，但无论如何，我都为此感到非常自豪。我一直说，从学院出来，能穿上这件球衣，在这些球迷面前踢球，一直是我的梦想。”

“I’ll reflect on it in a few days with immense pride but at the moment, I’m just disappointed we didn’t get through to the next round, because that was the objective."

“过几天我会带着巨大的自豪感回顾这一切，但现在，我只是对我们没有进入下一轮感到失望，因为那才是我们的目标。”

“I always want to keep improving, keep pushing. I don’t take it lightly that I’ve managed to play 100 games for this Club, it’s a big achievement and something I can always look back on, but, for me, it’s about continuing to improve.

“我一直想不断进步，不断推动自己。我不会轻视自己为这家俱乐部踢了100场比赛的事实，这是一项巨大的成就，也是我可以一直回顾的事情。但对我来说，重要的是继续进步。”

“We’ve had a new manager this season and he’s been a breath of fresh air for everyone. There is a lot of improvement that needs to be done and can be done with this group, a young group, a lot of talented players playing in the league for the first time and will get better. So, we’re all disappointed to lose against City, but promising signs.”

“本赛季我们迎来了一位新教练，他为每个人带来了新气象。这支年轻的队伍还有很多需要改进的地方，也有很多有才华的球员，他们很多都是第一次在联赛中踢球，他们会变得更好。因此，我们输给曼城都感到很失望，但也看到了希望的迹象。”
