Jol plays down Mido touch

TOTTENHAM head coach Martin Jol yesterday warned the club’s expectant supporters not to heap too much pressure on Egyptian striker Mido.

The 21-year-old made an immediate impact with two goals on his debut and after sitting out Tottenham’s fourth-round replay victory over West Brom he is eligible to make his FA Cup bow against Nottingham Forest tomorrow.

Mido may have arrived at Tottenham with a shadowy reputation having been through five clubs in as many years, but he is working hard to prove himself to Jol.
