striker Barry Hayles has more reason than most of his team-mates for wanting
to pick up three points against Arsenal on Saturday - he is a lifelong Tottenham
fan.

The former Stevenage and Bristol Rovers man
said he was as hurt as any Spurs supporter when Sol Campbell moved across
north London in the summer.
And the presence of the England defender
in the Arsenal rearguard at Craven Cottage on Saturday would give him an
extra incentive to get his name on the scoresheet.
Hayles admitted: "I've been a Tottenham fan all my life.
"Sol went for the sake of his career, but if I was still playing non-league
football, I'd be bitter and twisted about it.
"Obviously it would be a bonus for me as a Spurs fan to get the three
points."
Such is the quality of the forward line at Fulham that Hayles is not guaranteed
a starting-place at the weekend, despite notching his first Premiership
goal in the club's win over Sunderland.
Portugal international Luis Boa Morte has scored in each of his last two
games, while 11m Frenchman Steve Marlet could be fit to start on the bench
at least.
