Spurs defender Ledley King has slammed the speculation that claimed his career was over.<\/p>\n
Ledley told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “When I first heard the rumours, it wasn’t funny in the least.<\/p>\n
“I wouldn’t say it made me hurt, but it made me think about what was happening.<\/p>\n
“I was never worried about my career and never felt my career was going to be threatened in any way.<\/p>\n
“But I was aware that these stories were going around. I heard it from people in the streets, friends even asked me and I heard from everywhere.<\/p>\n
“People were stopping me in the street and asking me whether my career was over. People were beginning to believe it.<\/p>\n
“I’ve had my fair share of injuries but I don’t think they’ve ever been bad enough for people to believe it was all over.<\/p>\n
