Tottenham hero Ledley King admits he's flattered that Arsenal legend Thierry Henry described him the best defender he faced.
King told the London Evening Standard: "For him to say that meant a lot. I always said that he was the best I ever played against.
"Tottenham and Arsenal were levels apart around that time, his team were competing for the title and we were a mid-table side. He was always a really nice guy, which I didn't want! You wanted to leave a bit on him but he was such a nice guy you didn't go in as hard as you might have."
