Darren Anderton has suggested that pressure from former Tottenham Hotspur chairman Alan Sugar saw him play a game in 1997 while injured, something he believes contributed to the well-documented injury troubles he faced during his career.
The former Spurs winger often faced plenty criticism for his supposed inability to stay fit for entire seasons, earning the nickname 'sicknote' as a result. Anderton has challenged those claims, though, highlighting one game where Sugar forced manager Gerry Francis to stick him on as a substitute.
