Van der Vaart: 'To leave Tottenham was my stupidest decision.' 24.07.2015

The Dutch midfielder Rafael van der Vaart share details about leaving the Spurs in 2012.
'I left Tottenham because of personal work, but played a big role and Andre Vilas-Boas. When the Spurs took over, he came to me and told me that I'm not going to be number one choice. It struck me, as I was in amazing shape. And I'm still of the opinion that this is the dumbest decision in my career. I regret very much, because of the "White Hart Lane" were my two best years in football.'
'We were a great team. Gareth Bale, Luka Modric, Aaron Lennon, I.. In every game we went out on the field, to have fun. We had an incredible mentor in the face of Harry Redknapp. I would give anything for him, it was like our father.', said the 32-year-old footballer.
