Clemence in rare first team action for Spurs

Stephen Clemence's year-long Tottenham injury nightmare will finally end on Tuesday.

But his frustration will end at Dagenham & Redbridge's Victoria Road home, when Spurs reserves take on West Ham.

Clemence, a former White Hart Lane trainee and England Under-21 international, has been back in full training since the start of October.

Spurs reserves boss Colin Calderwood revealed: "Steve will be involved for the first time this season.

"He's completed a fortnight's training with the rest of the first team.

"He'll play for a period of the game and hopefully come through okay.

"Steve's been a Trojan in the gym. You just have your fingers crossed he can now have a sustained period of football," he told the club's official website.
