Tottenham and England pair Eric Dier and Kyle Walker seem to be growing very close, so much so that Dier has revealed his nickname for Walker is 'The Stallion'.
The duo have become two key components for club and country in recent months, and both played their part in Friday's comfortable 3-0 win over Scotland.

Walker set-up England's opener in the victory at Wembley and Dier was nothing but effusive in his praise for his colleague - even admitting to adopting the rather odd nickname.
Speaking via the Evening Standard, Dier said: "I call Kyle 'the stallion', because he's like a racehorse, up and down that flank.
"They [Walker and Danny Rose] are unbelievable physically, no-one can match them. They offer so much both defensively and offensively. I'm really happy for them and being involved in all three goals, that's great for them as well. They deserve it because they work so hard at Spurs to be at that level.
"They then show the same form in international football as well, which is great for Tottenham and England. I'm delighted for them, they were fantastic."

Aside from performing on the international stage, Walker and his fellow full-back Danny Rose have been in impressive form for the north London side this season, helping Mauricio Pochettino's team remain unbeaten in the Premier League with just six goals conceded in 11 games.
But 'The Stallion'? We reckon Rock Balboa might be wanting his nickname back ASAP!
