Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp hailed his skipper Ledley King after their Carling Cup final defeat to Manchester United.

The captain, who has to constantly manage a knee injury, appeared untroubled despite playing the full 120 minutes, helping keep a clean sheet against the champions.

"Ledley can't train and yet goes out and plays extra time, doesn't get cramp or anything, he's unbelievable," Redknapp told Tottenham's website.

"How he gets through it I don't know.

"He doesn't train at all and yet he's fit to play a game like that for two hours - amazing."
