Salut!

What a fantastic night at White Hart Lane on Thursday!

Nearly 30,000 fans turned out to support the tribute match and provide one of the best atmospheres at the ground for ages.

I was so happy to be part of it, the memories came flooding back, the most important thing was that it felt like I came home.

It was a nostalgic occasion for all concerned, and I hope the fans enjoyed seeing the likes of Paul Gascoigne, Chris Waddle, Clive Allen, Jurgen Klinsmann and myself all wearing the white shirt again - what a pity Glenn Hoddle picked up a hamstring injury and was forced to sit it out.

I must say I've always liked the Tottenham kit but the new one is really beautiful and in any case it was fantastic to wear the Tottenham colours again.

I would like to thank everyone for the welcome they gave me, it made me proud to feel like part of the family again, because White Hart Lane was always a place where I felt I belonged.

I know the game wasn't a classic, and its a pity we lost 1-0, but the night was about more than that, it was about bringing back the memories and raising money for former heroes who have now fallen on hard times.

I loved being back out on the pitch and although I have not been in full training I felt pretty good. I must have been okay because I was voted man-of-the-match, which was another great accolade.

Hopefully there will be more of these kind of matches.....maybe soon.

A bientôt,

David Ginola.
