Ledley King tackles Robben

[sk0vern]

Such a sick tackle, I watch this video so much. If Robben wasn't so horrendously one-footed he could have smashed it with his right so much earlier though.

[ScottAnabolika]

Ledley King used to be one of the best defenders, but then he took an arrow to his knee...

[theonlyone720]

@ScottAnabolika still is:D

[bobgee333]

Ha ha small club mentality if ledley was sooo great why do they need a youtube vid to celebrate a tackle? Never a starter for england and won one lge cup. John terry he isnt!

[Yidwardrobe]

Fucking god

[acegamer100]

Ledley king used STALKER PRO , so he can move faster while aiming , But at the last moment he used STEADY AIM and Robben was tackled , but then in a tragic end , He turned out to be a TEAM KILLER and finished the goal keeper , LoL Call of duty anyone?

[ryan070695]

@acegamer100 just no

[acegamer100]

@ryan070695 Lol relax dude , its one of those annoying youtube comments I wanted to try out.

[clevo93swf]

Oh ledley, ledley. He's only got one knee, he's better than John Terry. Oh ledley, ledley

[pulsengine]

@clevo93swf i thought it's only 'got one leg'? fucking wanker

[postindustrialnoise]

@pulsengine Yes, because "leg" rhymes with "Terry", doesn't it? Spaffbadger. 

[Crown3dd]

that's even better than goal from 20 yards

[aakervikis]

damn, he was a rather fast black man

[SomeOne1199]

@aakervikis sacre bleu!



[Ribeyeangus]

and he took out his goal keeper at the end. top form. quality finish.

[Autonova]

Ledley King is so good he actually let Robben go through on purpose, just to get some exercise.

[MyDontreallycare]

ledley king <3

[SKnight2208]

"10 yards behind one of the quickest players in the premier league" - robben wasnt exactly flat out sprinting?

but anyway, great defending by king.

[lillywhite27]

Good on ya Ledley

[Zhengda10]

A better defender like Maldini wouldn't have allowed Robben to get in that position in the first place.

[Sandler41882]

@Zhengda10 You're right, in his 20 years he never let anyone get behind him you fucking mong.

[Zhengda10]

@Sandler41882 Giving Robben the amount of space and time that he did here was shocking. King was incredibly lucky Robben dallied so long with the ball and you know it.

[camero56]

@Zhengda10 robben is a world class player. jesus christ if every single goal in football was down to bad defending. then every game in your world should end 0-0.

[KochoC]

@Zhengda10 If you watched the video properly and assuming you understand the offside rule, Dawson was slow stepping out thats why robben got that 10 yards of space because he beat the offside trap,

Every centre half in the world has at some point been beaten trying to play offside even Maldini.

[foreverslighted]

hail to the king baby

[observant09]

legend

[Maestro1092]

Is that how he done his knees in? Robben was running like he had the handbrake on.

[XxUKDannyBoyxX]

As a arsenal fan i have to say this is one of the best tackles ever!

[PAnOsFreestyler]

robben was waaaaay slow.. great tackle though

[kaethebar]

heavenly king

[dane123ization]

#1 defender Thierry Henry said so.

[SamStar42]

If he wasn't so injury prone, he WOULD be the best defender in England. Godly player.

[rostofroflmao]

fucking miles offside

[kS1o]

that is fucking mad , this and ramos tackle agains valencia are the best ever

[Andrew4214]

I was at that game, and as a defender myself, celebrated that tackle almost as much as the goals we scored! How the hell he made up the ground and then executed a PERFECT sliding tackle I will never know. KING in more ways than one

[OriginalYTName]

He was the best player on the pitch today against Liverpool by a mile.

And yet he hasn't played a first team game since October 2010 I believe?

If we had him the whole season I'm sure we would've got 4th.

[jikkh2x]

@OriginalYTName No point playing "if" games, what if van persie was fit all season for arsenal? what if essien was fit all season for chelsea? ect

[neilgogoi]

Arsenal fan here. Its not for fun that King Henry took his name as one of the best defenders he ever faced.

[Xxbenja91xX]

King Ledley! What a legend.

[UnannoyMe]

Its really just about the hustle. Lots of good players out there, but how much hustle do they have?

[jpopcorn]

I'll never forget that moment. Ledley king is what every club has wet dreams about. A true legend. Unbelievably great defender. Even Thirrey Henry said 'the best and cleanest defender i have faced is ledley king' Even injured to buggary he's still amazing.

[kobajkurt]

one of the best tackles i ever seen

[LeeParry101]

If Ledley wasn't riddled with injuries, he would be one of the best and most consistent defenders in the world. He would definitely get in the England squad in front of that cock Rio Ferdinand.

[UnleashedKane]

@LeeParry101 I'm a United fan, and Ledley King is the most naturally gifted Centre Half England have had for a long time and that includes Ferdinand. He just didnt get what he deserved with injuries IMO.

[Jonzer1983]

i wish twe could hear the sound of the fans on this fantastic tackle...

[2203611]

what a player. would be the best in the world if it werent for the injury.

[bahamasilive]

Ledley king would be one of the best in the world if it was not for his ingyr

[Tr33fiddy]

Hmm, one person gave the video a thumbs down.

I can only think that Arjen Robben has a Youtube account.

[whitehartlane1882]

Fuck me that's the best tackle in football history.

[williamkeane]

i remember final is  tot 2 1 che

[basilvictorhomer]

So precise, so clean, so critical, so ...

MAGNIFICENT!

[Jonzer1983]

i get chills when i watch this.

[mam7498]

weve got ledley at the back

[MrZebini]

Ledley the King !!

[YidArmy95]

Easily the best centre half in the country.

[TheIkaraCult]

thats why he's the King

[esfandior]

1 of my fav tackles

[deyniel96]

ledley king bycicle kick!!!

watch?v=KJ1LAtK_HSA

[BigYid1604]

All of my friends say that ledley king is rubbish defender.

If thats rubbish im really no sure what is going wrong with this world.

That is what i like to call defending you club with all you skill, becuse he is more than 10 yard behind him and as the commontator said robben is a fast guy but ledley king would risk his permanently damaged knee for his club.

Rubbish, i think not if you dissagree withmy statement please pick up a book and read about defending.

[pimpishferg]

Arsenal fan- love the crowds reaction..makes it :)

[Weitug]

Credits to Robben for not diving

[arsenalmanz]

im a arsenal fan and woow wat a tackle! ledley is one of my heroes

[jakedharrington]

thanks a lot for the video, i love defensive highlights.

[IAMDJHERO]

Yep i agree that was jus like watching a quality goal, COME ON YOU SPURS

[Jonzer1983]

i get chills every time i see this clip.

damn shame he was cursed with an glass body, always injured for his side spurs =(.



[ponyovdoom]

Fuck, I love King.

[azsquil]

brilliant

[tsunamiplayer3]

robben far too casual. great tackle by king - hope his body holds up so he can have a great world cup. COME ON ENGLAND!

[ApexBozo]

ledley's gonna win the world cup for us

[kingelnino9]

Ledley King is a slightly better version of Titus Bramble.

Come on people get real

He's over rated!!

[cade09gerrard]

u serious overatedd???  think u gotta get real

[kingelnino9]

@cade09gerrard All of sudden according to the media, he is one of the best centre backs in the world!! He turns 30 this year, where has he been all these years???

[Vinny86100]

@kingelnino9 all of a sudden? he's been described as englands best defender for years but because of bad luck hasnt got that break!! this is the guy who even Thierry Henry said was the best English defender he's ever played against

[KYZA699]

@Vinny86100 its fine when he's playing, its when he's out for 6months with a groin strain, or ear ache that really pisses everyone off

[darkforce112]

best tackle ever

[frnkwho]

you can stick your sol campbell up your arse

[adsfigo]

@frnkwho singing cos we got ledley, we got ledley, we got ledley at the back

[VazzDog]

1st class defending, hope he gets picked for the WC squad!!

[HappyYOOGS]

King is a beast

[TheIkaraCult]

thats why bayern didnt win the champions league.

Chelsea, Man U, Arse, youre all begging to have the King

[RR6EW]

robben wht hair!! jaja

[iuhuuh]

annoyingly they then scored from the corner

[IamTHEredux]

Was this before or after hs knee injury. Kit makes me think after? Even more impressive if it is.

[Critchy39]

I was aat this game as a Chelsea fan, and i remember shouting "FUCK ME THAT WAS CALOSSAL"

[iAmTheYan]

If it wasn't for his knee problem he would be the first name on England's team sheet and probably the captain. JT and Rio are crocks.

[superdan1875]

Ledley King is My favourite player and the best centre half in England.

From a Birmingham City fan

[iansutton68]

im a manic chelsea fan but i love ledley king! that was the best defending ive ever seen, he is the best english defender we have at the moment wayyy ahead of terry and ferdinand!

[MrSayitagain]

i think even mourinho was clapping

[biscuitsandgravy27]

Singing we've got Ledley at the back

[nqkazu]

Ledley the KING, what a tackle... let`s break top 4...

[Ballsy180]

I WAS THERE!! LETS BREAK THAT TOP 4 !!!!

[TheIkaraCult]

he's the King. So much better than Terry and Ferdinand.

[arntkaare]

i love you ledley king.

[SpursModric93]

The best tackle I have ever seen.

King would have been world-class if it wernt for his recurring injury.

[gleneth]

@SpursModric93 would have? he is!

[heno8888]

King Ledley.

[oORedeemerOo]

Deadly Ledly at his best Woulda been the best in England if not for the injuries

[elbarajas69]

it's incredible, king is a great defender

[freshprinceofbalham]

does anyone remember that tackle against drgoba at the end of the match?

[IAmTheWalrusBlog]

One of the best tackles of all time

[fredpunk123]

pity about the injuries. that was some beastial piece of defending right there!

[MadsRath]

but, how come that ledley has become so slow?

[oORedeemerOo]

he has a gammy leg

[MrSayitagain]

this is bobby mooresque, beckenbauerlicious, baresing world class tackle

[jem1807]

I think that is the best tackle ever made. its a shame hes always injured :( one of the best defenders in England.

[flynerz]

wow

[Tr33fiddy]

One of the great tackles from one of the great defenders.

[chridouk]

that's the best piece of defending i've ever seen.

[hj12345678910]

@chridouk nah, got to remember the John Terry penguin dive!!

[tompr91]

would be startin for england instead of terry if it werent for his injuries

[weglarz]

i think you mean instead of rio...

[boeershna]

erm..no..Terry is MILES better. he would start over that wank Rio though who is past it now.

[napsspur]

@boeershna terry is overated and always will be. hes a fat shit who because he plays for chelsea has always been given the media VIP treatment. now hes finally being exposed for what he is. ive always thought he was a cunt regardless.

[boeershna]

VIP treatment? LOL you`re the thickest cunt on here for saying that. the media hates Chelsea. Had be been playing for United or pool he would have been higher regarded. And not been given red cards for what the ref cant explain why..like against Spurs and City..

[lukeyoung188]

@boeershna I think you are being extremely naive, Ledley is the best centre back of this generation, if it wasn't for injury he would have to play in the England team infront of either Terry or Rio. Also he was sent off against Spurs for calling Ledley the N Word, it was hushed up by the FA as he was England Captain and Graham Poll was their Golden Boy at the time.

[boeershna]

@boeershna why? they played togheter at Senrab..look at all the blacks at Chelsea. Poll just wanted attention and his glory.

[TheIkaraCult]

yeah, Terry and King together regularly would have meant at least one trophy for england from 2004 til now..

[J24football]

chelsea fan here, i gotta say that's a great tackle

[TheIkaraCult]

@J24football

yeah, Ivanovic is your best defender now, Terry is an accident waiting to happen, hes a great player and all that but hes gonna break down soon cos of his injuries

[julianjc619]

Top 5 best Tackle..

Greetings From san Diego

[DURANIMO]

Awesome tackle. He has to try to catch Arjen Robben, probably one of the fastest in the Priemiership, he's 10 yards behind him as well, tackle the ball cleanly, and try not to get sent off and give away a penalty.

[shazlig]

Thanks Harry for playing Ledley only in the League!

[gsian187]

hero

[SteVincenzo1234]

we cheered that tackle like a goal.

[David94Zizou]

absolutely magnificent.

[fdppqpaew]

shame he's black

[TheIkaraCult]

stand and applaud the king

imagine if we'd had ledley fit for the last 5 years, he eats every striker for breakfast, hes easily better than clowns like Ferdinand and Carragher. Ledley is a machine

[Nevergone1983]

I'm a spurs fan and agree ledley is definately best english defender at the moment, but had he not had this injury he would definately not still be at spurs still. He deserves to have played in the champions league whether that be for utd,milan or madrid, but hes a top top player!!

[TheIkaraCult]

@Nevergone1983

Id imagine so, just the fact he doesnt train with the first team and would still get into the first 11 of any team in the league. Woodgate went to Real for gods sake!

[TheIkaraCult]

ive watched this 7 or 8 times now, it still makes me punch the air. Ledley could make that tackle even with his trousers round his ankles

[BeantownYid86]

haha COYS!

[TheIkaraCult]

THE best fucking tackle i have ever seen

[nasher901]

Best defender in the whole of the prem by a mile im not a tottenham fan, but imagine if ever ledley king and martin laursen played together forget ferdinand and vidic they would have been the best two. Its a shame tho laursen has had to retire.

[TheIkaraCult]

yeah Laursen was a collosus, Villa fell to bits without him last season, he's one of those who made the players around him better, Curtis Davis in particular.

[nasher901]

Well said we crumbled without him. It wasnt just his actual great defending we lost a leader and a great player to have around the dressing room

[TheIkaraCult]

plus Barry, you look a bit meek this season tbh despite kicking Liverpool to shit the other night, and getting Jenas aint gonnna make it much better. You should break the bank for Turner, Hangelaand, Abdolaye Faye or Steven Taylor

[nasher901]

I agree with you even tho i dunno wat meek means. I do think tho that jenas and huddlestone would be great to have in midfield. And out of the 4 you named there id only take 2 and they would be Hangeland and Faye. I dont rate the other 2 i think taylor makes too many mistakes, and turner has been very poor since the back end of last november.

[TheIkaraCult]

and i am a spurs fan, but could you see The King going to Notts County at this stage of his career... i think not

[rastabus]

that is brilliant

[wereer1]

King is better than rio

[heno8888]

Where was Torres on Sunday?  Nice and warm in Ledleys pocket.

[webdesignproject]

thats what a fully fit ledley king does

[Hauler24]

Even a 50-75% is better then most CB's in the prem. Hope he gets his chance in the World Cup. No doubt in my mind he should.

[webdesignproject]

agreed

he is still good enough to challenge terry and ferdinand hes the only one that england have really got to do that woodgate isnt too bad either

[1hamcheese1]

a serious legend of the game.. come on you spurs!

[fkusenda]

this is the best tackle ive ever seen in football

[greeny189]

I was there and that tackle was like we had scored a goal, the way that he chased back for that and made it was amazing. He is the most under rated players in football,he could easily play at any top four club in England even with his knee problems. And this isnt the first time he has made tackles like this,he has made them time after time!

[2001drdre]

King Ledley.

[freshprinceofbalham]

i find this just as watchable as a quality goal

[Ginga]

Same with me. The tackle itself was great but just watching King chase Robben down is incredible by itself.

[mafls001]

@freshprinceofbalham defending like that is better than a goal, absoloutely amazing tackle best defender in england when hes fit.

[freshprinceofbalham]

wheres the one against drogba that was quality too

[sexysekhon]

I aint a personal friend of ledleys so i dnt giv a fuk wot he does in his private life, as long as he keeps putting in tackles like that when he plays, then im as happy as a fat paki wiv a bacon sandwich!

[LeonJ76]

he gotta sort out his habit soon

[smigbabb]

i shudnt b ere in it i earn 83 fousand a week yo officer iv pissed me pants sniff winge the fuckin orriblle bastard just another scummy footballer i hope he gets sued to fuck but can you imagine if some one shouted you bucked toothed nigger at him different story i think.................

[remixguru3]

I agree 100000% with your comment, you right, the black nigger gets away with racist abuse, but if someone white or asian had called him a black bastard coon, it would have been front headlines, see the media how two faced they are, blacks are always the fucking victims, what a load of bollocks, i agree they should be stop searched every last one of them, they will probably stab someone innocent, ledley probably stabbed someone when he was a poor nigger in london lol

[sexysekhon]

exactly.

[sexysekhon]

Best centre back in premiership, pity about the injuries. No wonders hes boozing alot these days. Same thing happened to Paul McGrath another quality centre back with dodgy knees!

[poorthom]

The best players play for the best clubs.

Which is why King is mid table club and will never go onto anything better.

Injuries do not turn people into boozing racists by the way.

It's in his nature to be a total fucking cunt, nothing to do with injuries.

stop apologizing on his behalf you fucking prat.

[poorthom]

p.s anyone remember when he tried to man mark riquelme for england against the argies?

bwahahahahaha

best racist prem player, that is all

[remixguru3]

Yes notice how a black guy can call a asian guy a fat paki but when it is someone white who calls him a black bastard coon, they will get sacked from there job, its so two faced, Black people need to stop being two faced fucks

[duney]

"Black people" - such a generalisation. Shame.

[sexysekhon]

How is he a racist? u fuckin bender, and what make u think im appologising on his behlaf, for all we know that fat, sweaty arab doorman ledley clumped probably deserved it?

Why r u so tetchy about it, r u the boyfriend of that doorman or something??? Im asian but sometimes u gotta cll it how it is? Niggers a nigger, honkeys a honkey, a pakis a paki - who cares man! Jus defend urself at all times, and if u cant, then shut ur mouf and run!

[poorthom]

"How is he a racist?" because he called an arab a paki and some other bloke a 'white cunt'

If you can't defend yourself without resorting to racial remarks then you are a total thick fucking cunt.

For example, you're obviously a fucking prat regardless of your skin colour....

Oh, and running from a youtube user with the handle 'sexy' in it who also uses txt spk?

Haha behave fella.

p,s Ledley Kings not even the best defender at Tottenham let alone the prem for fucks sake.

[sexysekhon]

Behave fella???? whos the one txt speaking in that rhyming cockney slang shit - ur just a nob bruv. Who isnt racist?...the whole world is racist! Who givs a shit? Theres no point answering to ur comments anymore coz u aint in front of me and i cant giv u a right hander, ur a lion in ur own living room. PC warrior. good luck.
