Hi

I'm trying to settle an argument with people at work, and I need some help!!!

Basically Henry did an interview before he left Le'Arse talking about the premiership. He basically said that Ledley King was the best defender he played against in the premiership.

He said he was the only player to shut him out for 90mins and the only player to take the ball from him without fouling him.

Does anyone have a link to the interview or a copy???

I remember it being on Teamtalk but I cant find it!
Please HELP!!! I don't wanna look a fool!!

I think we Spurs fans have put too much into what he said actually..I think he said he was one of the most fair defenders and maybe the one he liked the most because he always played fair and never used unfair methods! That was what i made of the interview when i saw it on the tv but dont remember it word by word anymore..

Was it not that he said King was one of a few players that could stop him with out pulling his shirt or just trying to foul him. To me thats him saing he is one of the best CB around at that time in the premiership.

Other players need to try and get an unfair advantage over him where King doesnt..Because is is that good :D

having read through the link Stoof put up...
"I don't like defenders who hold the shirts of other players. The only defender here who doesn't do that and sometimes still gets the ball off my feet easily is Ledley King.

"He is the only guy who doesn't hold players. He will get the ball off you without you even noticing. For me, that is a good defender.

"He plays without any contact yet is somehow still strong and gets the ball without doing any fouls."

i think thats him saing he is the best defender he had come across in the Premiership

Yeah i see but i still dont think he means he is the best defender just because he is the only one to get the ball from without cheating.. The best defenders often uses some illegal methods to stop players.. its a great compliment though!

I would have thought that hot shot lawyers would have a field day with Credit crunch issues. Can we not sue someone for not having the foresight.

Not that it is impacting on me personally at the moment with my 5 year fixed rate mortgage but hell sue them anyway and give Stoof the job of getting us loads of money

Hot shot lawyers working for big City lending institutions aren't that busy at that moment though. Hence SC. :dance:

I agree and I remember reading the interview at the time, Henry was stating that he was not only the fairest, but the best CB he had played against.

You may be very knowledgeable Alexskree, but sometimes you can be such a wet blanket :bang:

And do we think that anyone else is going to be able to take the mantle whilst he is injured.

I have had enough of sitting at home sobbing into a hankie until he returns so Come on Dawson and come on Kaboul! If a great player (as much as I hate who Henry played for) can give truly inspirational words for our star, then can he pass some on to the ones that are taking his place.

Show us how good and inspirational you can be Ledley and pass on some of the magic to the younger guys.

Oh and an aside, I hate Sky+... my wife is watching bloody dancing recorded while we were on holiday. Not important to you all but I felt the need to get it off my chest
