Parker driving Spurs to new promised land

IT takes a brave man to compare any player to Tottenham legend Dave Mackay but just maybe Harry Redknapp has it spot on when he says Scott Parker has the ability to follow in his footsteps.

The last time Tottenham won the league back in 1961, Mackay was the heartbeat of the side and played a major role in helping them win the double.

Exactly 50 years on and Tottenham may have finally found someone who shows the same fearless attitude and leadership qualities that can help the north London club stand their best ever chance of winning the title.
