Former Tottenham Hotspur captain Ledley King has opened up about the helplessness he felt as an illness outbreak derailed his team's top-four challenge in 2006.
Spurs sat in fourth place going into the final round of games under Martin Jol. However, after illness ripped through Jol's squad amid unverified reports of a contaminated lasagne, they lost at West Ham United and were pipped to fourth spot by neighbours and fierce rivals Arsenal.
King was unavailable for the West Ham game, having been ruled out through injury. However, as the England international explained, the reason for his absence didn't make things any less painful.
