Former Tottenham striker Nico Claesen still involved in football

Former Tottenham striker Nico Claesen says he's still involved with football.

The World Cup veteran made 63 appearances for Spurs.

Claesen told the Spurs website: “I'm the manager for my home-town team in Belgium where I started. It's Patro Eisden Maasmechelen, a second division team. I'm there for the third time now – I was there 10 years ago for three years, then I went to another team, I came back for two years and now I have been there again for one year.

"I am also a housing entrepreneur. It's a business I got from my father-in-law and my wife is now the boss. I always follow the Premier League and I manage to see most games."
