When Campbell decided to leave this great club to play the staring role as Judas down the road., I was almost grief stricken. Friends of my then wife (who just happened to be couple of Jewish Sisters and season ticket holders at the Lane) and I got into conversation over a few drinks.. inevitably the topic of Spurs football dominated our talks. They listened intently to my concerns regarding the then eminent departure for Campbell. They then told me not to worry about the departure of Judas.... and when I asked why., they said 'there's a young lad coming through the ranks at the club, who is going to be even better..... His name is Ledley King' they said.
I admit to have been a bit apprehensive about his development at first but they were right, Ledley King developed into the best central defender I have ever seen at this club.
His presence on the field will be missed..
