New Zealand legend Ryan Nelsen says playing for Tottenham "is an honour".
Nelsen made his Spurs debut as a second-half substitute in Saturday's 5-0 drubbing of Newcastle at White Hart Lane.
"It was just an absolute honour to get my debut for Tottenham," he said.
"White Hart Lane is my favourite stadium. I can remember playing here five or six times, obviously normally on the opposing side, so when you come out [for Spurs] it's a whole different feel.
"It's an amazing stadium and fantastic fans, so it was great to get my debut. It couldn't have gone better. Newcastle are obviously having a great season, so to get three points was brilliant."The 34-year-old had only previously made one appearance for Blackburn this season and had spent most of his time in the Lancashire club's reserves, making last weekend's experience all the more sweeter for the veteran centre-back.
