da fazobetai: Harry Redknapp has praised Tottenham captain Ledley King following his performance against Wolves on Saturday, and compared the England international to Bobby Moore and Alan Hansen.
The injury prone centre half only managed nine appearances for the North London club last term, but returned to the fray on Saturday after a knee operation in the summer.
The 2-0 victory was Spurs’ first win of the season, and Redknapp has heralded the influence of the returning veteran defender.
“Ledley is an amazing player. He only ever trains for a few minutes the day before a game. It will take all week now for his knee to go down and then we will try and get him on the park next Sunday (against Liverpool) but he is one of the best centre-halfs you will ever see,” Redknapp raved to The Daily Mail.
“It is no coincidence that he comes back into the side and we win 2-0. I brought him back at Liverpool at the end of last season and we also won 2-0 there. He is different class, he gives an air of confidence, he knows what he is doing. People around Ledley respond to him.
“He doesn’t make too many last-ditch tackles because he is already in position to deal with it. Like the Bobby Moores and Alan Hansens over the years, they understand what they are doing – and that’s what he does,” he concluded.
Spurs will now travel to Greece to take on PAOK in the Europa League on Thursday, before entertaining Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday at White Hart Lane.
