I recall that he also chastised his former Dynamo Kiev mate Sergei Rebrov's transfer to Spurs, saying that he should have gone to a bigger, better club. Hahaha
there is also the totally unsourced story that I choose to believe. He came to London to work out for both Spurs and Arsenal for a potential move. When he told the taxi driver what he was doing, at the time going to Spurs first, the cabby told him he was mad to even consider Spurs and instead took him to Arsenal first. He signed that day and never went to Spurs!
