Salut!

I am lost for words after the incredible reception I received on my return to Tottenham on Saturday.

The reaction of the fans when I stepped on to the White Hart Lane pitch for the first time since my move to Aston Villa was simply overwhelming - it touched my heart.

The Tottenham supporters are beautiful people, I love them all. I had fans coming up to me with gifts, such as bottles of Champagne, because they were so happy to see me again.

Members of the staff at White Hart Lane cried when they saw me, and I have to admit there was a tear in my eye too.

The only disappointment was that I never got the chance to play a significant role in the match.

It was incredibly frustrating for me to have been denied the chance to start the game.

It hurt that I was given only 10 minutes to play in front of those adoring fans - both from Spurs and Villa - but of course I never question the decision of the manager, and he did what he felt was right for the team.

It was great to see so many old friends again, and I just want to say a massive thank-you to everyone at Tottenham, the staff and the supporters for the welcome they gave me and my family - words cannot adequately describe how I felt.

I hope to see you all again very soon.

A bientôt

David Ginola.
