Legend!
There is to be a testimonial at the end of the season.Anybody else feel a little teary eyed at the thought of not seeing him play anymore? As a 25year old, I'd say he's the first player that I’ve seen the beginning to the end of his career and everything that happened in-between. It makes me so sad that I have to argue his case to fans of other clubs who didn’t really see quite how brilliant he was. Absolutely fantastic defender and I can count the major mistakes on one hand which just sums up the sort of player he was. Huckerby challenge, Robben tackled coupled with England performance vs France in Euros and the admittance by Henry to his brilliance really stand out for me. Long live the King!! Any testimonial news as I for one will pay big money to attend that.
Funny that he seems to have been so focussed on somehow keeping on playing that he didn't seem to realise just how much of a legend he is.
I was really pleased that towards the end of his career other clubs fans, and I mean right to the top table, were beginning to appreciate that we weren't exaggerating when we said he was one of the best natural defenders England has produced in decades.
If Spurs ever are allowed to clone players in the future...
Clone KING!
