As he prepares for his 10th year as a professional at Spurs, Ledley King admits it's 'a special feeling' to have progressed through the Academy ranks and captained the club to Wembley glory. Ledley lived every schoolboy's dream of walking up the famous steps to collect a trophy after our memorable win against Chelsea in the League Cup Final in February. And he has a message for our latest intake of Academy players - work hard and you'll get your chance. Ledley, 27, joined the club as a trainee in July, 1997 before signing professional forms in July, 1998 and made his first team debut as a substitute against Liverpool at Anfield in May, 1999. He said: "I can't speak for anyone else but being at a club for such a long time, of course you have that special feeling. "You grow up watching the first team players and to become one is something I suppose not a lot of young players do, especially then staying at one club for such a long time. It's a special thing for me. "The club has always produced players whether or not they've eventually moved on. "Jamie O'Hara is the latest to come through the ranks and he's done superbly. "There are plenty of quality players in the Academy at the moment and if they work hard, I'm sure they'll get their chance." ============================================================================== Ledley即將迎接他在熱刺的第十個職業賽季 他承認從Academy到溫布里的冠軍是一個很特別的經驗 Ledley讓所有學童的夢想更為真實 他告訴學童們只要努力就會得到機會 他在97年加入我們 98年簽下職業合約 99年安菲爾德首次上場比賽 King說: " 我沒辦法說其他的 但是在一家俱樂部這麼長的時間一定有特別的回憶 " " 看著一隊的背影成長 我想沒有很多年輕球員能這樣待在一個球隊這麼長的時間 " " 俱樂部總是能培育大量的球員 不論他們是否能留下 " " O'Hara是最新從academy上來的 他表現的非常棒 " " 現在在academy有很多出色的球員 如果他們夠努力我相信他們會有機會的 " -- Ledley儼然成為吉祥物 XD -- Ｔo Dare is to do! --
