Summary
Hola Big Interview listeners!
By now Ledley King must be sick of talking about the injuries that shortened his career. Instead this Big Interview is about where he came from: the neighbourhood, the people, the places he learned to play football.
You will hear about Ledley's school team rivalry with Ashley Cole, his neighbour growing up, and how a small boy called John Terry used to boss his Sunday League youth team around - as a midfielder!
And, of course, Ledley discusses the type of defending which made him a Spurs legend and one of the greatest defenders the Premier League has ever seen.
