Jürgen Klinsmann

I said, no, no, no, you can have a higher number outside of the one to 11, because we keep the same number the entire season, no matter if you play or not play.

Oh, that's interesting.

Okay, I take the 18 because I had that with Germany.

I didn't get the 18 with Germany because it was given away when I was as a young lad breaking the German team.

It was given to Rudi Völler, the nine, and Frank Mill was a striker from Dortmund, the 11.

So I said, okay, then I take the double nine.

So 18.

So now it became official that I moved from Monaco to Spurs.

And I didn't know much about the Premier League at that time.

I didn't know much about London and the dynamics.

And I just said, I go there and experience it.

So what happened and people in England didn't believe that this guy is coming with all that kind of discussion and story.

And I didn't know anything about that either, but I got there and Spurs sold within the first two weeks jerseys with the 18 for more than $2 million.

And then I woke up and I said, holy moly, is this true?

And Alan, you know, in his personality, he's an entertainer.

He said, you know, I just want to let you know, I can already cast in that dress.

I got these two millions within two weeks.

Whose idea was to... It was a friend of mine that lived close to Monaco, outside of Monaco, a German journalist, a writer.

But he lived down there and he says, you know what, they're testing you out.

They're testing you out.
