Spurs skipper King pleads with fans to lay-off Portsmouth's Campbell

Tottenham captain Ledley King has pleaded with fans not to abuse Portsmouth defender Sol Campbell on his return to White Hart Lane today.

"As a young player I looked up to Sol. He played the same position and we come from the same area of east London," said King.

"The abuse he's received I wouldn't like to see done to anyone. Hopefully the fans will respect the players."
