'Could of been best centre back in Europe', 'Rolls Royce' - Many Tottenham fans miss former hero
What a player Ledley King was by the way.
The one-club man made 313 appearances for Tottenham Hotspur between 1999 and 2012 before being forced into an early retirement.
King hardly trained in the latter stages of his professional career as he desperately attempted to manage his chronic knee issues.
King was ultimately forced to retire in July 2012 at the age of 32, but over 300 appearances for Tottenham is extremely impressive, whilst he also turned out on 21 occasions for the England national team between 2002 and 2010.
Now an ambassador for Tottenham, it would be fair to say that the former centre-back is still a hero with the London club’s fans.
Pl>ymaker FC’s Matchday with Max caught up with Jamaica’s women’s team. See what happened when he met the history makers in the video below…
And many took to social media earlier this week to lavish praise on King – a 2008 League Cup winner with Tottenham – in response to a video which cropped up on the club’s official Twitter account.
A selection of the Twitter reaction from the adoring Spurs supporters can be seen below:
