“One, in particular, which I can now share with you was that he was offered £20,000 to sign for Inter Milan before leaving Dundee FC.
“But, typically, he wanted a top club in Britain, and his career lay with Spurs.
“I feel very privileged to have had him as a friend, and he truly was not only a great footballer but a great person.”
