Rarely in the modern English game has a player been as loved by his
supporters, admired by his teammates and respected by his peers as
Ledley King. And even more rarely has such a shining talent seen
their career cut so tragically short. Named 'the best defender in
Europe' by Thierry Henry, and described by Martin Jol as 'the best
central defender I've ever seen', King was undoubtedly one of the
greatest talents of his generation. Yet injury forced his
retirement, aged only 31. But even at the height of his chronic
knee trouble - when he could only train once a week, and was
advised not to even play football with his son - King still managed
to captain Tottenham Hotspur and be called up to the England squad.
King documents the successes and struggles - both personal and
professional - behind this unique and unprecedented footballing
career: from King's childhood in East London, to his future out of
the white shirt of his beloved Tottenham Hotspur.
