Eric Dier’s bromance with Dele Alli hits new heights with birthday instagram post

As far as Premier League bromances go, Lampard and Terry, or Yorke and Cole never went to such great lengths as this.

With Dele Alli turning 20 years of age on Monday, Tottenham and England teammate Eric Dier was never likely to let the day go by without some kind of acknowledgement of his friend's big day. Followers of Dier on Instagram will testify that Alli features regularly in his posts, be it in blasts from the former MK Dons player's not-too-distant past, or stuff like this:

  Sure enough, Dier did mark Alli's birthday with a special post. 'Always got your back,' Dier declared, accompanying a photoshopped image of himself helping Alli out of the back of a limousine.

Rest assured, this bromance shows no signs of slowing any time soon.
