You were born in London’s East End, but ended up a Tottenham fan. Why?
Where I’m from, you either became a Leyton Orient supporter or a West Ham supporter. But for some reason, and don’t ask me why, my father and all of my family were huge Tottenham fans, despite coming from that part of London. So, that’s the team I grew up following. I wanted to be a footballer from an early age and was fortunate enough to achieve that. I played with some extremely talented lads as a youngster on the estate I lived on – it’s just that most of them took a different path during their teenage years and I never stopped playing. That’s the big difference: persistence.
