Tottenham coach Juande Ramos was delighted to see fit-again skipper Ledley King lift the Carling Cup at Wembley last night.

He told Tottenham's website: "We've worked very carefully in the time he wasn't in the team and this is the type of game that is vitally important he plays in.

"He made a tremendous effort to be able to play in the final and having lost the last time he played in a cup final, this was a new chance for him and one he thoroughly deserved.

"Woodgate and Ledley were magnificent but this was all about a team performance, not individuals.

"We won as a team and it gave us all tremendous satisfaction to win this trophy."
