Crystal Palace boss Patrick Vieira has revealed he almmost signed for Tottenham during his playing career.
Palace meet Spurs today at Selhurst Park.
Vieira spent nine years with Tottenham's arch rivals Arsenal and helped the Gunners clinch the Premier League title at White Hart Lane in 2004 but five years later talks took place with Harry Redknapp – who was in charge of Spurs at the time – over a sensational switch from Inter Milan.
“It is too far and a long time ago. I don't remember," the Eagles head coach said with a smile.
“No, that was a period where I really wanted to come back to the Premier League. Knowing Harry quite well and admiring him as a manager, we had a conversation about different options but at the end there was no chance of me coming to England and going to Spurs, no chance."
