Bostock to get his chance

Tottenham starlet John Bostock could well make his first appearance for the Spurs first team in the UEFA Cup against Dinamo Zagreb today. Bostock signed from Crystal Palace for £700k in the summer.

"He's on the bench and I'd love to get him on the pitch," Redknapp said. "He's only 16, a kid with terrific talent and a lovely left foot.

"He is a special young player with terrific ability, how far he goes is up to him.

"With all young players it will be up to them how hard they want to work at their game.

"I'd love to get some of the youth team into the first team, that is the long-term aim.

"(Steve) Perryman and (Glenn) Hoddle were fantastic, so let's hope there are a few more coming out of this youth team now."
