Former Tottenham star Dimitar Berbatov has admitted that he did not hear about the club when he first joined in 2006.
After joining the North London club in 2006, Berbatov went on to establish himself as one of the finest attackers in English football and this led the foundations for his 2008 move to Manchester United.
During his first season at Spurs, he scored 12 goals in the Premier League which earned him a place in the PFA team of the year. He was also good in the Uefa Cup and scored several goals from eight games to help Spurs who where then managed by Martin Jol to finish on top of their group.
Berbatov said: “My agent said we’d had a serious offer from Tottenham. I said: ‘Who?’ I was watching German football, not English.
“There were rumours of Man United’s interest too. I’d definitely heard of United, but they told me I was effectively a second choice if another player didn’t happen. So I took the offer to move to London, which I loved, and play for Spurs, who I grew to love.”
