An email i received tonight read like this
To cut to the chase, the rumour is that Ledley King is crocked.
That his current injury is part of more serious career threatening issue and that his days as a professional player are numbered.
I first heard this rumour last time he was injured, but the source was entirely dubious and I duly ignored it.
Then yesterday the Spurs Odyssey ran a thread on it's members forum from a fan calling himself "genie" claiming that he had been told in the Director's Box that...
"Led's retirement from soccer will be announced in a fortnight."
There then followed numerous posts of a general angst and 'ban him' nature.
However, what makes the story interesting is that Paul Smith, the owner of Odyssey then posted the following....
"I'd prefer the Ledley story to be kept quiet, but expect it will spread.
I have heard from a source close to his mother some weeks ago that he had been advised he ought to pack up."
As some of you may recall, I had Mr Smith on here spelling out in some detail how far up the THFC food chain he felt he was only recently...
So, dear reader, is this alleged disaster in any respect true???
Seems very dodgy as the lad plays one game and then is injured again.
