We're all guilty of buying into the media's portrayal of a player every now and then. The inconvenient truth is, it's easier than accepting them as complex, fallible human beings - like the rest of us. With that in mind, we wanted to create a platform where top-level pros could tell an unfiltered, raw and honest account of events. So here it is, Behind the Headlines. We hope you enjoy.
Former Spurs captain opens up about his career-long battle with injuries, growing up playing alongside John Terry and racism in the media - Sport
Behind The Headlines is back for episode 2 with former Spurs captain and England international Ledley King! Hope you guys enjoy
Football Daily absolutely loved the first one hopefully love this one
I tore an ACL a couple of years ago, had an operation and then played football twice a year later and got another knee injury and then I quit football since I thought it isn't really worth it when you're just an amateur so I have a lot of respect for players that keep coming back from injuries.
Football Daily is it the minecraft music behind?
Really enjoy this series, keep it going!
You need to do more of this series, they're brilliant interviews, love them
Ledley is a true legend! Without his knee problems he could have been one of the greatest defenders of all time!
Biggest joke in history
@@mrkhan5777 not a joke at all, was a beast in his prime
He still was, no matter what you say only being able to work lightly on an exercise bike in the week to pulling off world class tackles in the prem on a Saturday is something else
He was better than John terry
He was class,both feet,could pass,could tackle and had pace
As a Tottenham fan I absolutely love this. Really shows how good of a player he was to not train and often be the best player on the pitch.
@@ryanthompson4440 Such an unnecessary comment
@@ryanthompson4440 yes
@@steakkidneypie767 I had you for dinner yday so I accepted 🙏
@@ryanthompson4440 You didn't have to do that. I'm a Chelsea fan, I was just wondering why you had to bring the savagery.
@@steakkidneypie767 he once crashed his car into me and almost shit himself when I caught up with hum, but due to my situation at the moment I couldn't do what I should of done to him, and also him and rio make the all time premier league overrated cb's of all time
Him and Jonathan Woodgate were two of the best naturally gifted defenders I've seen in my 20 years on this planet. I remember watching the 2008 league cup final between Chelsea and Tottenham and thinking just how good they were together
james fisher Shame Michael Dawson could never hack it
james fisher - Woodgate had Drogba in his pocket that game and scored. Ledley and Woodgate were World Class - It's a shame they both got injured. I doubt it very much that Ledley would've stayed at Spurs if it weren't for the injuries. I'm glad he's Spurs ambassador of football, I see him live today on CZcams when we got drawn against Man City.
I remember that match. The only time I felt the defence was in total safe hands. Incredible feeling.
Woodgate was best defender I've ever seen at Leeds, was better for us than Rio was, woodgate and king without injuries would have got spurs closer to trophies than they've ever been
Ledley king. My favorite centre back of all time. Sadly injuries destroyed him
Your favourite?
Lmao, and how old are you
What this man went through to captain my club, bloody love him what a legend!
Elliott Lampost legendary Sir Ledley
This series can be the best thing you guys have ever created
Ledley King is hands down one of the best, if not, the very best English defender in the last 20 years! His ability was next level and I’m so sad that he never got to reach his full potential due to injuries.
He had the ability to be one of the greatest defenders in the world, and if it wasn’t for injuries I could of seen him going to Barcelona/Madrid if he decided to move
He’s also one of the most level headed geezers ever, always open and honest. Never bullshits about anything and an all round good guy
I would of loved to see him play to his full potential, see him become a world renowned defender. But his knees just couldn’t take it anymore
He’s always brought up in conversations between my friends, despite him having to retire early, still the best defender we’ve produced in a very long time in my opinion
Ledley King looks like he can still head them clear all day long with Shevchenko in his pocket
Injuries have robbed us of great football
Mr King, what a wonderful personality in the game. He is a character who gets your admiration and respect. Played his football so well and in such good spirit.
Even as an Arsenal fan I respect Ledley King. He was a monster in the back and always made Spurs harder to break down when he's on the field. 👍
I've been critical of Sterling for a while, and I think there are issues people have which are valid; but King has made me realize an unconscious bias in me. I think he's right about people like me. Sterling, according to his team's and Pep is a hard worker. I've heard these things, seen him improve, but still didn't give him credit.
Lucas respect bro for your honesty
Not a Spurs fan, but always liked and had an appreciation for Ledley King and his game.
He was part of a generation of great centre backs and such a shame his knee failed him for both club and country.
Sadly, England's version of Paul McGrath.
I taught Led, was a great kid at school, and you knew that he had the right attitude to had a successful career. Shame the injuries curtailed a wonderful career, a quality footballer, and a quality human being. A pleasure to teach.
I'm a huge fan of Ledley King and he is the reason that I love Tottenham as well. been watching him since 2005. He could be one of the best and for me he is still the best. shout-out from Indonesia
Its amazing seeing how much the quality of your guys’ videos has grown over the last two years that I’ve been following you. Great work and please keep doing what you’re doing.
Absolutely love these. Much love from Australia, keep up the good work
A fully fit king could have played for any top team in Europe
@Mark Thomas could have played for Chelsea who where world class at the time but he is a Tottenham man
I’m a Arsenal fan, even I rate Ledley king, proper legend 👏🏾. A shame he never reached his full heights!
Love this once again quality content👏🏻
Met ledley almost a year ago he came to maidstone to talk to some fans and tell us his great stories was an absolute privilege to meet a great defender like King a player with 1 knee can't train properly but gave everything wen he play in a match respect
Oh Ledley Ledley, he’s only got one knee, he’s better than John terry, oh Ledley Ledley
Fruity Tottenham songs, and JT was 1000x the player ledley queen was
Ryan Thompson if Ledley KING didn’t have his knee problem he would’ve been much better than Terry
@@ryanthompson4440 from a Chelsea fan... Ledley was better than JT. The only if I see... more people would know IF he'd played more games.
@@ryanthompson4440 I can't disagree with comment on your mum's mum however.
Ryan Thompson Lesley king started for England over jt with only one knee
My favourite sportsman of all time. Actual love ❤️
Grew up a United fan but he was always one of my favourite players. Absolute baller even with all the injuries 💯
Great series deserves to have a lot more views keep up the work
Can you imagine John Terry in midfield? 😂😂
Always a legend!!
Class man, class player.
Was at a spurs legends Q&A in a Dublin hotel in early 2020 , ledley answered questions for hours in front of a crowd of about 500 , finished at midnight as the host said ledley was on a 6am flight back to London from Dublin, everyone went for drinks afterwards at the bar in the hotel and ledley stayed out till 2am chatting to all spurs fans having a pint with all of us, my favourite spurs player and a really good human being
Absolutel legend
What a legend!!!
this bloke was a great defender one of the best I've ever seen, brilliant reader of the game
Fu%k Judas... Love yah Ledley 🤟🏾🤟🏾
Nice one boys keep it up !
🙌🙌 what an inspiration
Was such a fantastic defender with amazing potential to be even better. Such a shame about his injuries!
Favourite ever Spurs player.
What a gent what a player what a legend there, s only one ledley king 👑 !!!!
First time I've heard from Ledley and he seems like such a nice bloke. Totally under-rated though and would have been good enough for United/Real/Barca if not for injuries
Class legend and a great player Thierry Henry praises him
A true Tottenham legend.
For me, this guy was one of the greatest players ever lived. If not for injuries only few players would've been compared to him. He's absolutely world class and a Top Dude.
He’s only got one knee
He’s better than John Terry
Oh Ledley, Ledley
The man the legend that is Ledley King…….COYS
The best CB ever. Top Top quality player. A true world class and the best CB of all time..Big up Ledley King.
I mean..he wasn't the best of all time. But he was a hell of a player considering.
I ignored the doctors when they said i couldn't play football again, but missing one arm, both legs , head and torso proved quite difficult.
Sad about his injury but still one off the best defenders in the world could of played for any team he wanted he was that good legend
The best
Proper legend is Mr King. COYS
Wow great mentality
As a gooner fan, boy I think he was a special player. He certainly had my respect.
Would loved to have seen him at United, one of the great CB's in the PL.
great player
bloody brilliant this is
Without the injuries would've been one of the best ever.
A shame he had to retire at such a young age ..keep going and keep your chin up king
World class player in defence as well as defensive midfielder
I remember this guy from blessed john roche school days
I'm a United fan but I can honestly say that the injury gods robbed football of a world class cb even after his knee injury he was still one of the best when he would play and to still be one of the best playing thru injury for years you've got to take your hat off the the man 👌
He would've beeen top3 best England defenders of all time if he didn't have those injuries
Quality player
everyone who played with Ledley puts him in their greatest 11
What a player , it's a shame that he wasn't able to fully fulfil his potential
Mate is a good bloke! Not many around but he is a top draw
Such a good player but imagine how much better he would have been without the injuries. He would have been in the class of maldini.
For me personally he was the best . Better then all of the rest
Absolutely incredible CB. Better than both Ferdinand and Terry
Hi Chris Hamill
King and Ferdinand had everything only injuries held King back
The idris Elba of football. Cool guy
Comes across as a right classy bloke
Was a fcuking good defender tbh
King if it wasnt for always being out with a bad knee
Was the best English center back no doubt had it all except fitness
Oh Ledley, Ledley
He's only got one knee
He's better than John Terry
Oh Ledley, Ledley
Great player. If an Operation was available earlier in his career, do you think he would have considered it?
Ledley King, The King of White Hart Lane, The King of all our hearts
Ledley King the definition of a warrior!!!
On his day he was better than Rio and Terry as an overall defender
Potential to of been better than Ferdinand and terry . Shame injury’s stopped him
Van dijk the modern day ledley
@Kaz lemon 😂😂van dijk 6,4 ledly King 6,2 course he was 🤣😭🤣
You only went because it’s the World Cup 😂😂
Lol when I see a professional football player of his calibre and just 1 EFL cup to his name it makes me laugh.
Yeah but ... do you know who I am 🤤
#COYG ... F SPURS
What you man saying
This guy babbles away like a boxer who took too many punches in his career, but overall seems like a nice guy.
Still remember the days when Henry used to tear him apart on the pitch 😂😂
Henry himself said King was the best defender he played against because he didn't have to kick him to get the ball.
In games where King was fit enough he was the only centre half that could match his pace. Tho there was a couple games when Henry killed him.
Bottle job
Mug .
Ledley King who goes around casually calling people ‘Paki’.
Football Daily Originals, stop trying to be Netflix
MancDwarf Gaming, stop being a prick
safe I agree 😂😂
why should they?
When was Netflix the only company that produced original content?
Zzzzzzzzzz most over rated centre half in recent years. Bore off King
Ok... how do you explain that Henry said that king was the best defender he had ever played?
class. world
