He also served as Primary Industries Minister in the government of Wayne Goss between 1989 and 1995. SPURS new boy Peter Crouch last night insisted Harry Redknapp's side have "as good a chance as any" to break into the Premiership's big four. The England striker, right, is back with his old manager after moving from Portsmouth. He spurned spurn v. spurned, spurn·ing, spurns v.tr. 1. To reject disdainfully or contemptuously; scorn.

The 28-year-old said: "It was an easy decision to make because of the size of the club. "I was very keen to come here - the manager has always got the best out of me. "There were firm offers from Sunderland, Fulham and Spurs and for me the biggest club is this one. "It's going to be difficult to break into the top four but if anyone has the potential, this club does. Harry has a great deal of belief in me and I hope I can repay him." Crouch, who began his career with Spurs just over a decade ago, will also be linking up again with Jermain Defoe Jermain Colin Defoe (born 7 October 1982 in Beckton, London) is an English footballer of Saint Lucian and Dominican descent. He is a striker who plays club football for Tottenham Hotspur, in the English Premier League. and added: "We've always worked well together. "We've got competition for our places but we've always scored goals and if we play together again I'm sure it will work." Redknapp, who admitted that the possible signing of Newcastle defender Sebastien Bassong was in the hands of chairman Daniel Levy Daniel Levy is a name shared by many and can refer to:
"We have four terrific strikers and competition for places will be very fierce. "I've been lucky enough to work with Peter before and he brings something else we haven't had. He's a target and he will score goals." Redknapp also wished Darren Bent well at Sunderland after he left Spurs - but was puzzled by the player's comments about "political problems" atWhite Hart Lane. He said: "I don't know what he means. I don't think he needs to be critical of the boardroom at Tottenham. "He worked hard. This game is a game of opinions and I decided to change things around. He's got a good move and I hope it goes well for him." |
