Tom Huddlestone, who this week swapped Tottenham for a move to Premier League newcomers Hull City, has fired a parting shot at former manager Andre Villas-Boas. The player told reporters that the Portuguese coach failed to give him a proper chance in the first team.

The 26-year-old completed a transfer move to Steve Bruce's side this week after almost two years of constant transfer rumours linking Huddlestone with a move away from White Hart Lane.<br />

The player fired a parting shot at Spurs after wrapping up his deal to Hull.<br />

Huddlestone said: &ldquo;No, I didn&rsquo;t feel I got a fair crack of the whip.<br />

&ldquo;I&rsquo;d play some games and the results were good and my personal performances were good, and then I&rsquo;d find myself out of the team for six or seven weeks without any explanation.<br />

&ldquo;That&rsquo;s disappointing. I&rsquo;m not one of those players who goes and knocks on the manager&rsquo;s door every Monday morning if I&rsquo;m not playing.<br />

&ldquo;I just get my head down, graft hard during the week and try and get in the team at the weekend.<br />

&ldquo;I didn&rsquo;t speak to him this pre-season. I just knew the club&rsquo;s feelings that they were happy for me to go if the right bid came in.&rdquo;
