Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has hailed the club's fringe players for keeping spirits high.
Reflecting on victory over Inter Milan, Redknapp praised the non-playing substitutes. One of the game's many memorable images came after Carlo Cudicini made a finger-tip save from Wesley Sneijder's 43rd-minute free-kick. As one, the Tottenham substitutes leapt up off the bench, as though they were celebrating a goal.
"I think what was important," Redknapp said, "or what is important on every night at any football club, is that you have people like Robbie Keane, who didn't get on, but in the dressing room he was fantastic - before the game, at half-time and at the end of the game. There were no sour faces sitting around feeling sorry for themselves because they haven't played and that's what makes good football teams and good football clubs. When you have a bit of spirit in your camp, you have a chance."
