Tottenham Hotspur fans will never forget the betrayal of their former captain Sol Campbell, when he decided to make the switch from the white side of North London to the Red.

This came after the defender assured the Spurs faithful that he would be remaining with the Lilywhites, before going back on his word and transferring on a free to the Gunners (Daily Mail).

Campbell is now simply known as Judas around Tottenham and it would be a brave Spurs fan to support the hated figure.

However, that is exactly what former Tottenham chief executive, Claude Littner, has done this week on Twitter.

Now one of Alan Sugar’s aides on The Apprentice, Littner was actually the Spurs chief exec between 1993 and 1998, with Sugar as the owner and chairman (Wikipedia).

Sol Campbell joined Arsenal in 2001 (Daily Mail), but Littner claims that he could have left Tottenham long before this.

It is fair to say that Littner’s comments haven’t gone down well on Twitter.

He is a decent bloke. https://t.co/bJXiQnH7jO

Stayed beyond the time he could have left us. Can’t stop a player leaving https://t.co/9vrCki1NMP

Because I actually know the facts https://t.co/5mZZ0dYs0W

Of course not but he had his pick of clubs and he chose them and he knew what he was doing. Morally, it stinks Claude.

Claude, he gave his word he was going to sign a new deal.

“I’m going nowhere”

"I want to play for Tottenham – that's it. I've been here for so long and there's no reason to think I would want to leave.https://t.co/Wa0GyXHEQz

He literally joined our biggest rivals for free after saying he would stay

Not that decent. Done Spurs out of a transfer fee for him by continually lying about wanting to stay then left on a free and joined our fiercest rivals. What part of that is decent?
