Having played alongside King for the first time at international level in England's convincing 3-0 victory over Ukraine, Terry was full of praise for the Spurs defender:

"Ledley is so calm under pressure and makes the right decisions." he explained 

"When he needs to be cool he is and when it's necessary to get stuck in he does that too.

"For me, he has all the makings of a true quality defender."

Such sentiments would certainly be supported by goalkeeper David James who had Ledley to thank, in no small part, for his clean sheet:   

"Ledley looked really solid," said James.

"He reproduced the performances which helped him make the squad for Euro 2004 then play so well against France."
