After Mason had left the club for Hull City and suffered the horrific fractured skull in 2017 that left him fighting for his life, Pochettino and his staff were at the hospital when he woke up.

"[Pochettino and his coaches] were a massive influence, not just in football but in life," admitted Mason.
