‘I played with a young Gareth Bale but one Tottenham star was even better’ – Pascal Chimbonda

Former Tottenham Hotspur defender Pascal Chimbonda named Dimitar Berbatov as the best player he ever played alongside during an interview with The Mixer. Chimbonda also identified Martin Jol as the best manager he played under, Robbie Keane as the best leader, Jermain Defoe as the best trainer, and Thierry Henry as his toughest opponent.

Reflecting on his career highlights, Chimbonda identified Tottenham's 2008 Carling Cup final victory over Chelsea as his favorite footballing memory. Manager Juande Ramos substituted Chimbonda for Tom Huddlestone during the match, which resulted in the defender receiving a two-week fine for storming down the tunnel before Spurs secured a 2-1 win.
