Usually when a big player is sold by Tottenham Hotspur there can be a slight bitter taste - and sometimes even hatred towards the player by fans.
It happened when Teddy Sheringham had enough of mid-table battles and decided Manchester United were the club he could achieve success with, and on the first day of the 1997-98 season his return to White Hart Lane in a Red Devils shirt resulted in huge booing. Sheringham's departure was justified though - two years later he won the Treble.
Sol Campbell was next, although he departed on a free transfer to fierce north London rivals Arsenal and Spurs fans were never going to blame that controversial move on ENIC or chairman Daniel Levy, who had only taken over from Alan Sugar just months prior in 2001.
