Ex-Spurs chief exec comes under fire after defending Sol Campbell’s Arsenal move

Tottenham Hotspur fans will never forget the betrayal of their former captain Sol Campbell, when he decided to make the switch from the white side of North London to the Red.

This came after the defender assured the Spurs faithful that he would be remaining with the Lilywhites, before going back on his word and transferring on a free to the Gunners (Daily Mail).

Campbell is now simply known as Judas around Tottenham and it would be a brave Spurs fan to support the hated figure.

However, that is exactly what former Tottenham chief executive, Claude Littner, has done this week on Twitter.

Now one of Alan Sugar’s aides on The Apprentice, Littner was actually the Spurs chief exec between 1993 and 1998, with Sugar as the owner and chairman (Wikipedia).

Sol Campbell joined Arsenal in 2001 (Daily Mail), but Littner claims that he could have left Tottenham long before this.

It is fair to say that Littner’s comments haven’t gone down well on Twitter.
