Tottenham boss Redknapp again full of praise for King, Huddlestone

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has again gushed with praise for his players after their derby win over Arsenal.

In his column for The Sun, Redknapp wrote: "I really can't praise my players enough for the way they've performed, especially Tom Huddlestone - who I think should definitely go to the World Cup - and Gareth Bale, as good a left-sided player as there is.

"But on Wednesday I think you saw the REAL miracle man in Ledley King, who was absolutely out of this world against Arsenal.

"When you think he hadn't played for two months - hadn't even trained really - it was even more remarkable.

"While I think Tom should go to South Africa with England, that's even more the case with Ledley.

"Six days between games would give him the recovery time - that tells you about the struggle he has to play tomorrow - and he'd be a real asset.

"If Ledley was out there and anything happened to John Terry or Rio Ferdinand, no one should think England are in the you-know-what. He's proved his ability to go straight back into the side after a lay-off and handle it against the best."
