Daniel Levy names his top three achievements as Tottenham chairman | OneFootball

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has named the top three achievements of his decades-long spell at the club.

Levy has held the position since 2001 and overseen Spurs cementing themselves among the Premier League elite; three times mounting serious title challenges and for the majority regularly qualifying for both the Champions League and other European competitions.

The move to the new stadium in 2019 now sees Spurs boast one of the best sporting grounds in the world, along with their state-of-the-art training facilities at Hotspur Lodge which opened seven years earlier.

However, trophies have largely eluded Levy's tenure, with the League Cup win in 2008 the sole piece of silverware won during his 23 and a half years at the top.

Speaking at a fan forum on Monday night, Levy was asked what his standout moments from those two-plus decades have been, and he mentioned the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Replying to a fan, Levy said: “Clearly, getting into the Champions League Final [and] I think opening this stadium is a great legacy for this club.

“The third one is a really difficult one because we've had a lot of great players at this club and I've had the honour of employing a lot of them. So I couldn't single out one player but Gareth Bale, [Dimitar] Berbatov, Harry Kane, we go on.

I have a very thick skin and I just ignore it, [it] makes me want to be more successful.”

Daniel Levy on criticism

“We've been honoured and blessed that we've had so many great attacking players at this club, and long may it continue.”

A lack of trophies during Levy’s reign has been a stick with which to regularly beat the club. Since triumphing over Chelsea in Wembley in 2008 to lift the League Cup, Spurs have reached four further finals, three in the League Cup and then the Champions League final five seasons ago.

Asked if criticism affects him, Levy replied: “I have a very thick skin and I just ignore it, [it] makes me want to be more successful.”
