When I'm not here I will get the credit

LEVY'S MIXED LEGACY

- By John Cross

DANIEL LEVY has been one of the most influential figures in Tottenham’s modern history.

But perhaps one of his most telling comments came last month when he was talking about the club’s £1billion stadium.

“It’s one of those situations — when I’m not here I’m sure I’ll get the credit,” Levy said ruefully to Sky pundit Gary Neville in a rare interview.

The 63-year-old is right. This was the executive chairman who built one of the best stadiums in the world, oversaw a new state-of-the-art training ground and turned Tottenham into a brilliantly-run business with solid financial foundations.
