The England and Tottenham Hotspur midfielder has named former Manchester United captain Roy Keane as one of his idols when he was much younger.
The 22 year old has been one of England's best players at the ongoing European Championship.
Dier also named former Barcelona midfield ace Rafael Marquez as his idol, but doesn't want comparison with these legends.
"When I was growing up Roy Keane was a player I loved and Rafael Marquez at Barcelona too." He said.
"I enjoyed watching them – but I don’t want comparisons with them!".
The Englishman grew up in Portugal and passed through the Sporting Lisbon academy, that produced former United players in C. Ronaldo and Nani.
