Former Tottenham boss Tim Sherwood is a Premier League winner too.

Tim Sherwood won the Premier League with Blackburn as a player and as a manager led Aston Villa to the FA Cup Final.

But forget that… his biggest achievement appears to be handing Harry Kane his first Premier League start.

This is how Sky Sports described Sherwood during his appearance on The Debate on Monday night.

Kane made his debut for Spurs under Andre Villas-Boas but it was under Sherwood where he really thrived, and got his opportunity in the Premier League.

Sherwood has been quick to remind everybody of this ever since, with Kane going on to become one of the most feared strikers in European football.

He previously told The Telegraph: “It’s great I resisted the temptation to get rid of him last January because perhaps he wouldn’t be the star he is for Tottenham. I would never have allowed him to be sold when I was there.”

Sherwood does deserve credit and thanks from Tottenham fans for keeping Kane around, but they are pretty tired of hearing it at this point.

Now Sky Sports are playing it up even more, and this certainly won’t be the last time we hear of it.
