Robinson relieved to be out of Spurs

Posted by Stevio in Tottenham H. on July 30th, 2008

Former Spurs ‘keeper Paul Robinson has admitted that he’s relieved to have left White Hart Lane to join Blackburn Rovers.

Robinson said: “Not long after Ramos came in, he made his thoughts quite clear to everyone.

“It is a relief to be out of there now and nice to be wanted again.

“When you’re having a dip in form, you want the people around you to believe in you and back you.

“I feel I can be England’s No1 again. I’m 28 and have 42 caps already. The best years of my career are ahead of me. There is no reason why I can’t add to that.

“Tottenham is in the past. I’m looking to the future and the challenge ahead of me for club and country.

“Do I have something to prove? Definitely, 100 per cent. It has been a difficult six months.

“I have a bit of hunger back, which maybe I’ve missed the last couple of years.

“I know what I can do and I want to do myself justice. I’ve had a rough ride for six months but I have never doubted my ability.”

He added: “I had four years at Spurs, 3½ very happy. The most disappointing moment was being left out of the semi-final against Arsenal. You want to play in those big games.”
