A fit Ledley King is a boost for England
There is no denying the fact that a fit Ledley King is a class act of a player. I’ve always rated him despite the fact he plays for Tottenham. The problem is he is hardly ever fit and the reason is his knee swells up bigger than Robbie Keane’s head between matches.
I’ve no doubt that he would be a big plus for England, and obviously Tottenham, if he could have a knee transplant. Unfortunately for King, Tottenham and England, medical procedures are not that far advanced and whole knee transplants are unavailable.
Seriously, it is a real shame that King has this problem because a player of his quality deserves to have more England caps. Despite his call-up to the recent England squad I can’t see him gaining many more. Tottenham can find a way of utilizing King by allowing him the freedom not to train between games or only using him once a week.
England would not have the luxury of using King this way at International tournaments. With games coming thick and fast it would be an obvious problem and I doubt that Fabio Capello, the ruthless man he is, would take that gamble.
And for Ledley King, that is a real shame.
i cant believe with the way technology has advanced that king still cant play two games in a row, its a shame really coz everybody rates him highly
He’s in wrighty. Capello must be of the opinion he’s that good he must be included, bone rubbing on bone or not.
apparently capello rates him higher than terry and rio, well the sun reckons he does
Paul Mcgrath played for another 5 seasons at villa with no knee caps so theres hope yet
