Assou-Ekotto. Coolest Mo-Fo In Football Right Spurs fans. This has gone on long enough. Benny has been with us for over 5 years now. Sure, he had a bit of a mixed start, but now he's one of, it not the best left back in the league. The partnership he's formed with Bale on the left wing, arguably also gives us one of, if not the best left wing in the league.

Benny's Twitter Pic We play Rubin Kazan in Thursday's Europa League game, and with Harry Redknapp having some sort of surgery, Assou-Ekotto has also revealed to the world he'll not be travelling to Russia either.
While it may not be a massive shock that Benny isn't playing against Rubin with most of the first team squad likely to be rested, he is surely going to kop some flak from management for revealing team news via twitter?

Following my original article singing Benny's praises as a footballer and all round good egg, he continues to impress me no end. Assou Ekotto is a complete breath of fresh air in today's game. This week he's been "rewarding inspirational teenagers" where more than 70 young people received their Educational Achievement Awards from the man himself at a special ceremony at White Hart Lane as part of a joint initiative between Haringey Council and the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation.

Despite their footballing talents, Kaboul quickly realised he wasn't exactly in the company of great beautyWhere this blog is from, three wins on the spin, including two away from home and one against a team being billed as top four elect, is pretty good going. Especially when you consider the depths from where this winning streak has been born from.

Benoit Assou Ekotto isn't your typical footballer. He's a straight talking, grounded and decent bloke who just happens to be a footballer. You won't see Benny kissing the Spurs badge or declaring his love for the club any time soon, he openly admits football is just a job to him, and Tottenham Hotspur, nothing more than his employer.

Harry had wanted a quiet pre-season but Kevin Bond's comedy tumbleweed was just ridiculous'It's oh so quiet, ssshhhh, ssshhhh'. Let that be the first and last time Bjork is ever paraphrased on this previously refutable publication.
The girl's got a point though. There's little activity in the world of Spurs these days, unless you choose to include meaningless transfer gossip as 'activity'.

An enigma wrapped around a mystery inside a left back. Benny doesn't play the game for enjoyment, as he made clear in a Guardian interview in 2010. No, no: he plays because it's his job. Miserable, spoilt footballer or a refreshingly honest view? You'll have to decide yourself. No player quite divides opinion amongst fans quite like BAE.

There's not much more that needs to be said on this matter: Benny Assou Ekotto is probably one of the most highly coveted football figures amongst the British media these days. He's provided yet another refreshingly honest and entertaining interview, this time for BBC Sport.
Benny has been discussed in recent months on this blog, after he was criticised by Alan Hansen and after the Daily Mail interview a few weeks back, so there's little need to further analyse this latest offering.

Apologies for being a bit M.I.A over the last week. Here's a scarily efficient round-up of the events we may have missed:
Steven Pienaar
Say what you like about whether we need him or not - he cost £3 million, for goodness sake. We could sign him twice and it'd still be a good deal.

The Tottenham left back slot. Brave men have tried but few have succeeded in the mountainous task of making it their own and earning praise. Erik Edman had a valiant crack at it in 2004/05 but his efforts weren't deemed acceptable, even despite that 40 yard cracker at Anfield. No matter who the incumbent is, there always seems to be universal debate over his suitability to the role.
