[OmarsComing]

I can't seem to find it on the interwebs

 

[chrissivad]

cant find it, or cant be bothered to find it?

King was.....King!

 

[reidar]

Amazing. I never get tierd of watching that clip. It makes med happy and proud.

 

[Strikeb4ck]

Although it was a great display of determination from King, it was very poor from Robben. SC would go up in flames if Rose or Lennon had done that.

Couldn't find it

I mean what would have been quicker typing king vs Robben .gif or creating this thread? If you need a calculator to work out the question I just asked you, I'm sorry, you can't use one.

Also I wanted the side angle view not the birdseye.

IIRC .....didnt we, in typical Spurs fashion, concede from the corner?

 

[Monkey boy]

If anyone has the still photograph of this I'd be so so happy. They have one framed in the directors box at WHL but I can't find any on the tinterweb.

I don't recall offhand but that would make perfect sense!

Thats what i remember happening as well

 

[mano-obe]

And Makalele of all people scored it if I remember rightly, that's typical Spurs

Was this the November 5th game where Jol beat Jose?!

 

[stevenurse]

Get him on the coaching staff ASAP. Christ what I would give to have him at the back now.

 

[thinktank]

What an absolute privilege to have had this guy play for us his whole career.

 

[gushayes11]

Damn that high line, didn't work back then.

Pretty sure the only other goal he scored for Chelsea was a sympathy penalty when they were miles ahead in a match.

King on the tackle - "It was almost one for the cameras, like they sometimes say about keepers. The tackle actually wasn’t that significant, because they scored from the corner straight after. I’d run all that way [from near the centre circle to the six yard box] and won the ball, then they scored from the corner [laughs]!

As a defender I always believed that you should get back and give yourself a chance, and hope that the forward takes a split second too long. While the ball was in the air, I knew that I could make up some ground; Robben hesitated a little bit, so I was able to prod it away.

To be honest, something will have gone wrong in the defence if the forward is clean through on goal like that, so you don’t want to be having to make those tackles. My advice to any young defender would be to not give up in those situations and always believe that you might be able to affect it."

Funny enough it was two of SC's favorite players who scored the goals. Dawson and Lennon.

Would love to find a video/gif of that King tackle on Huckerby when he played for Norwich. It was similar to this one but I think Huckerby had rounded the keeper?
