Just watching the match now. That challenge he made in the first half where he stopped a cross and then got back up instantly to knock it out was awesome. He looked so comfortable on either foot too which allowed toby and jan to break into more space and drive forward

Agree. But I like Dier in CM. He is much better going forward. He can play people in to score goals.
Sometimes Wanyama and Dembele can be a little negative.
Well that's one POV (though without him the whole Spurs project wouldn't have picked up under Jol). But you omit the emotional factor, King came after the arsol debacle that really made us look like a laughing stock. Combined with his role in the 04-08 surge he was a leader in a time we desperately needed one. Having King was pivotal in keeping us up there in the Great Game of media and image, attract supporters and strengthen the Spurs brand
Fuck you too, ya Welsh cunt
I think it's hilarious that Tottenham, who already had two studs at center back bought Sanchez, when Liverpool, who has absolute trash in the back, did nothing.
And we should have been following their lead in the window..

Sign zem all! And do it quick like!
Really like the look of this lad, think we've signed a potential star.
I'll admit I'd never seen him play until yesterday, but he looks like he's been in the squad for years, not days.
Hard to not get carried away, but colour me mightily impressed.

I didn't see his time like that. I just understood King as another Anderton type: good talent but not a player any other clubs would give a fuck about because they are so injury prone and therefore unreliable. In other words, I felt he was a passenger. I understand we will always have players who are frail, that's just the luck of the draw, but why should we celebrate them as if they achieved something? We're guilty of rewriting history.
I find it embarrassing because I don't know of any top clubs who would celebrate King's career had he been their player. The fact we celebrate King is a hallmark of our low standards, and I think they are a hangover from the nineties.
It was a miracle he got through the games he did. He played and spent the whole week in rehab getting fit for the next game. It is a testament to his abilities that he was not expected to train with the team but was a first choice when fit. If king had half the pain he went through I have no doubt that he would have had twice the career Terry had. Football is cruel. He could have been one of the greatest but such is life. It isn't celebrating mediocrity but cheering Loyalty, effort and sheer determination to get on that field and represent the club he loved. That is why we loved King and that is why he will remain a Spurs Legend.

I don't know if it is our jersey being a throw back to days of old or the fact the shorts look super short on him but this image reminds me of Apollo Creed from rocky 3
