The King is gone but not forgotten!!

Post by Ginger Pele »

Tottenham's Ledley King has decided to call it a day and has retired from all forms of Football. King has spent 17 years at Spurs but crippling injuries has forced his retirement.

Great player and great memories!!!

Great player, could have been a world beater in his position if not for dodgy knees.


Secretly glad to see the back of him, he always saved his best performances for Liverpool.

Could have been one of the best centre halves in the world if not for his injuries.

:lol:

Paulo Maldini is a legend of the game. Zizou is a legend of the game. Ronaldo is a legend of the game.

King was a good player who could have been great if not for injuries. He's a Spurs legend no doubt, but I daresay many outside of England hardly know of the guy.
