Noah Nips Down Jewsons...
Though its a shame the rumour that Spurs turned down Zinedine Zidane isn't true, the reality is even more amusing. There has been an urban myth floating around for a while that ZZ was turned away from a trial, and that ex-Tottenham mulletted Manager Gerry Francis said the player was 'too wooden'.

However in reality, when Zidane was asked whether this was true he uttered the immortal line: "Who? His translator then apologised and added: "I don't think he has heard of Tottenham Hotspur..."

Keeper Missed...
