I don't recognise Daniel Levy as the ogre or tyrant he's portrayed as from the chairman I knew when I was at Spurs.

Our first conversation came when I turned down Spurs to join Charlton. I explained my worries over not being able to communicate with his manager, Jacques Santini. Levy was disappointed but he was a good listener.

I joined Spurs 18 months later, which showed he didn't bear a grudge. And when I left (my form suffered after my dad fell ill and passed away), he granted me a free transfer with a year left on my contract.
