My Family Once Called Me Rubbish Before I Became Successful- Emmanuel Adebayor

Emmanuel Adebayor in a new interview has said he went
through a lot during his dark days at Tottenham under Andre Villas-Boas. The
coach saw nothing in him and even his family called him rubbish and said the
little success he had before then was just luck, until his story changed. 

Here is what he said in the new interview and how Tim
Sherwood came to his rescue;

“I was right at the bottom of the hole. Even people in
my own country, people from my own family, criticised me. It can’t get worse
than that. They said, ‘You’re rubbish and whatever you did before in your
career was luck.’ But the new coach [Sherwood] trusted me. He gave me the keys
to all the doors of the club and said, ‘Do what you want to do and make
yourself at home’.”
