Former England international and Tottenham Hotspur legend Ledley King is this week’s special guest on New Zealand football show The Unused Subs.

In town to promote July’s match between Spurs and A-League club Auckland FC, King watched the All Whites beat Chile 4-1 at Eden Park.

Now a club ambassador for Spurs, King caught up with show hosts Goran Paladin and Paul Ifill, who he played against at youth level.

In the interview, King talks about:
  • His days with Spurs, where he played 268 games.
  • Memories of former clubmate and All Whites captain Ryan Nelsen.
  • His impressions of other Kiwis in the English Premier League, including Chris Wood and Winston Reid.
  • The latest ructions at Spurs, where manager Igor Tudor has left after only 44 days in the job.
  • Whether Spurs will be in the EPL or the English Championship by the time they tour New Zealand and Australia in July.
