'Mates' Laura Woods and Ange Postecoglou pose for Wimbledon selfie

Ange Postecoglou has taken time out of his busy schedule to pose for pictures with fans at Wimbledon. 

Except, it's not every day a diehard Arsenal supporter wants a selfie with the Tottenham manager.

Well-known TV and radio presenter Laura Woods bumped into the 57-year-old at Wimbledon yesterday, as the pair took in some action at the summer's biggest sporting event.

Woods has spent plenty of time over the past couple of years speaking about Postecoglou with her former co-host Ally McCoist on the airwaves. 

And the ex-talkSPORT presenter, who left just last week, couldn't resist the chance to pose for a photo with the Australian at SW19.

Posting to her Instagram story, accompanying the pic, she wrote: "Big Ange! Mates until the season starts alright."

Postecoglou of course used the phrase 'mate' several times when speaking to the media in interviews during his time at Celtic.

He's officially one week into his new job at Spurs, though, having left the Scottish champions last month. 

He signed a four-year deal with the North London outfit, and has been getting to work with his new players and staff members.

And he is said to have won over his Tottenham players almost instantly with a galvanising speech this week.

It's been reported that the mood in the camp among the Spurs players is already significantly better than it was under the Italian.

And it's been said that the feel-good factor was almost instantaneously brought back by Postecoglou after an initial address with the squad this week.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Football London's Alasdair Gold said: "He has made a really quick, positive impression with everyone, players, staff. He is a very strong communicator is one of the the things I keep getting told. We kind of knew that before but hearing it take place at Tottenham is a big thing.

"He leaves you with no doubt what is expected of you. Whether you are a coach or a player, young or old, or a member of staff in the background. He lets you know very clearly what he wants and what he expects.

"Then it is down to you to deliver that. He likes to go into new clubs and tell a story to get his way across to his new players."
