LEDLEY KING astonishingly admits he has been injured for his ENTIRE football career.

Spurs ace King was forced to retire last week at the age of 31 after tearfully conceding that his left knee could no longer stand the rigours of top-flight football.

But, for the first time, he has confessed that he has been crocked for 13 years — ever since he made his full debut in a match at Derby in October 1999.

He revealed: “It’s amazing that I played as long as I did really when I think back to that game at Pride Park.

“It was my first start for Spurs, I was playing in midfield and after about 30 seconds I was clattered by Rory Delap.

“I just about managed to complete the game but I needed an operation on my left knee afterwards which kept me out for six weeks. I’ve been having operations on that knee ever since.

Stokes contribution.
 
Greatest defender I've ever seen, I highly doubt I'll see a better CB pull on the Lilywhite shirt. Mr Tottenham Hotspur.

And could have made one of England's best ever DM's - he was awesome there at International level (2004/5?). Certainly would have won a load more caps with the quality and versatility he had.
Top Man!!
 
It's a shame we never saw his true potential, top player on his day.
 
Wish he hadn't mentioned title tilt tbh, having never finished in an auto CL place! stranger things have happened I know, but this is definitely in the strange category, we're not outdoing United over 38 games anytime soon.
 
Are knee transplants possible?

I'd happily give him one of my knees if it meant seeing him back in a Spurs shirt for another few years. I miss Ledley :(

His surname befitted such a wonderfully talented player.
 
I think the team needs to win a Europa league or FA cup to even begin to have the belief in themselves that is necasary.

Look at City, UTD (under fergie) and Chelsea.

All won other trophies first before winning the Prem.

However-

THe squad is not a million miles away from being good enough.

I think another RB, 2wingers, 2creative mids and some strikers that know how to score simple goals and we could challenge. :emoticon-0111-blush

I think many of the prem teams could make the same claim if they were able to replace 2 thirds of their squads also lol
 
I think Ledley talking up the team at this point, when they're struggling, is very ambassadorial. If enough people believe it, (owners, sponsors, etc.) they can make it true, and it's good to know someone's trying to spur on the believers. (Not to say I think it's in any way likely...)

Besides, people rubbishing Spurs' chances of winning the title in two years may distract them from piling on negative articles and comments based on recent performances.
