Englishman Scott Sutter was today pinching himself after his Young Boys side were drawn to play his boyhood idols Tottenham in the Champions League play-off round. Lifelong Spurs fan Sutter will take on the club he used to cheer on at White Hart Lane for a place in the lucrative group stage. The Enfield-born 24-year-old left Britain for his father's native Switzerland aged 16 and has been there ever since. Earning his Spurs: Sutter is excited by the prospect of his facing his boyhood clubSpeaking from Bern after watching today's draw, defender Sutter told Sky Sports News: 'It couldn't be better. I'm still kind of shaking from hearing the draw. 'To be drawn against the team I grew up supporting is a special, special feeling for me.' Sutter revealed he had already been inundated with ticket requests for the first leg, which will be played at the Stade de Suisse on August 17/18. Eyes on the prize: Young Boys will face Tottenham for a place in the Champions League proper 'All my friends are writing to me,' he said. 'I'm going to have to make a list when I go home because I need to order about 200 tickets. 'Hopefully I'll stay injury-free beforehand so I can play in the stadium where I once was as a supporter.'Sutter moved to Switzerland to join Grasshoppers in 2002 after deciding to leave Charlton. He explained: 'It was a new sort of adventure for me and helped me grow up a lot quicker, learning a new language - and with the dream and aim to sometime move back to England when I was a bit older.'That dream extends to playing for the country of his birth, with Sutter having previously represented Switzerland up to under-21 level. He said: 'There came a point when I really had to decide between the Swiss and England, when I turned 21.'As well as being a dream draw for Sutter, the Champions League play-off round has worked out perfectly for Spurs, who could not have landed a more favourable tie. But Young Boys have already produced one shock, beating Fenerbahce in Istanbul in the previous round. Sutter said: 'We play our home games on astroturf; last season, we only lost one game there. 'If we play like we did against Fenerbahce, the chances - especially at home - are good for us.'
