Sutton United defender Ben Goodliffe says being released by Tottenham was the best thing of his career.
Goodliffe understands the North London giants spotted something in his game that is now seeing him reap the benefits. He was signed by Spurs as a centre-forward but they turned him into a defender.
And the Watford-born ace has had a whirlwind three seasons since joining the Us.
He told The Sun: "When you get released by a club like that you suddenly have doubts in yourself.
“I have a good family who picked me up, telling me to keep enjoying my football and get back into the habit of getting a smile on your face again.
"After all, that's why we get into football in the first place because it's something we love.
“At that time I wasn't — but it was the best thing that happened to me, leaving Tottenham."
