ANDERTON KEEPS THE FAITH

Anderton has struggled with injuries for the last three seasons, but has been in sparkling form this term under new Spurs boss Glenn Hoddle.

England coach Sven Goran Eriksson is sure to have noted the resurgent Anderton, who has claimed that the much-maligned Drewery has been a huge influence.

Drewery was lambasted in the media after Hoddle used her during England`s failed World Cup challenge in 1998, but Anderton, who used her then, feels she has been a huge help this term.

Anderton said: "I'm fit at the moment and playing well, I know everyone makes fun of it but I believe that everyone is entitled to have their opinion.

"There were times when the hamstring really played havoc with my mind and until I saw Eileen, I could see no light.

"I`ve advised a couple of the lads to go and see her as well as some of my friends. Some of them have had the same success and I would always say to people: give it a try.

"I still go and see her now and again because she`s helped me in the past. If I`ve got a niggle, I'll see if there is anything she can do."
