Rafa, 36, capped 109 times by Holland and a World Cup
Finalist in 2010, is one step ahead of Ajax - he's already played
at our new stadium as part of our Legends team that took on
Inter Forever on 30 March!
So what has he been telling people back home?"l tell them
that when I was there, Tottenham was a big club. But I think
now, with the new stadium, the training ground, they are
ready to make the next step. I am confident they can do that
and I'm delighted they are doing so well. The stadium.I say
you have to be here to realise how big it is now. It's special.
"I always had a good relationship with the Spurs fans. I
always knew when I stepped onto the pitch that I had to give
120 per cent and play my best game. I always gave everything
I had and I wanted to give the people something special. The
people are coming to the stadium to see special players and I
tried to do that. I had some good days, some bad days, that's
football but what I can say to the fans is that I always played
with so much pride for this club."
