and these are his thoughts about his teammates...
Goalkeeper: Neil Sullivan
I don't know him very well yet as he only came to us this season.
He seems a very good guy and is really talented. Anyone who can
come in and start bossing the likes of Sol around on the pitch,
you've got to have respect for.
Defender: Sol Campbell
Sol's very quiet and keeps himself to himself. But I've known him
ever since I came over so I'd say I know all his little secrets.
He's a different kind of captain, he's not very vocal on the
pitch but you know his game and he leads well.
Defender: Chris Perry
He thinks he's funny, but he's very, very unfunny. He's a good
solid player and defender. Small for a centre half but puts
himself about well.
Defender: Ben Thatcher
He was only in a few days before we heard his noise. He's a bit
of a madman. Some new players come in all quiet and shy. With him,
you'd think he'd been at the club for years! He's really mouthy,
he's a cocky Londoner.
Midfielder: Tim Sherwood
Tim's always in control of things, he wants to be the main man at
all times. He's a good captain while Sol's out, and a good all-round
midfield player who can score goals.
Midfielder: Darren Anderton
Another very good player who's powerful with the ball. It's good
having him on the right flank because he always shows himself for
the pass. He works very hard for me and he's an excellent crosser
and passer of the ball. A pleasure to play with.
Midfielder: Steven Clemence
Shocking! Nah, he's a very good player, but he's been unlucky not
to have many games as he works very hard and had a great pre-season.
He's a little younger than me but he's my best friend at Spurs.
Midfielder: Steffen Freund
I could compare this one to Klinsmann. He's very, very dedicated.
His attitude is superb, 100 per cent committed! He's not quiet
either so it can rub off.
Forward: Steffen Iversen
Tramp! If Les is the most fashionable in the dressing room, this
guy is amazing! He wears the same couple of suits every day and
they're always creased as are his shirts, he just doesn't know
how to iron! He needs to get someone in to help him! He's a great
laugh though - he's a very sound guy. He has a good leap and a
knack of getting in the right position to poach a goal.
Forward: Sergei Rebrov
A good player to link up with, with great feet. If I play him in,
I know he'll play it back to me if I keep running. He'll play
lovely one-twos with you - he set my goal up on the first day of
the season like that. He's an excellent finisher and has a good
leap for a small guy and he also works hard. During the pre-season
he was going into tackles you wouldn't see a defender going into.
This is a Ukranian international flair player we're talking about
here!
Forward: Chris Armstrong
Very laid back with us. All the lads were pleased for him when he
got on that run of goals at the end of last season because he
came in for some terrible stick. He gained a lot of respect from
the fans when he refused to celebrate with them, he showed them
how strong he can be. Unfortunately, because of the way they've
treated him in the past I don't think he'll ever celebrate with
them again. As a striker, he's a great outlet, his pace is
frightening. He's a good header of the ball and a good finisher,
but now he just needs a run in the team
Favourite goals
I've got two, both from last year. We beat United 3-1 at home,
which was a fantastic day. About halfway through the game, I
picked the ball up and started running with it, and there wasn't
really a lot on for me. I could have played it, but I just
thought I'd give it a shot. I knew I was quite a long way from
goal, but as soon as it left my foot, I knew it was in. I'd
supported United as a kid so to score that goal against them was
unbelievable. The one against Sunderland on the last day of the
season, when I chipped the ball in, was different. You see, as a
full back you're not meant to be able to do things like that on
purpose. I was watching 'Soccer AM' that morning with my dad, who
always comes over for the last game of the season. We were
watching the best chips of all time, believe it or not, and we
were saying, "It'd be great to do that". The ball
bounced in between two of their players and I just ran onto it
and nodded it between them. I then took the ball to the edge of
the area and chipped it. I'd just received the Spurs player of
the year award before the match and it was a great way to end the
season. The fans vote for that award so it was really meaningful
for me.
