NBA star Nash fancies buying into Tottenham
tribalfooball.com - February 20, 2007
NBA basketball star Steve Nash has expressed interest about investing in Tottenham.
The Times says Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is reported to be willing to sell his stake for the right price. Nash, the most valuable player in the National Basketball Association for the past two seasons, is the son of British parents and a Tottenham fan.
The Phoenix Suns point guard has earned more than $100 million (about £52 million) in basic playing salary during his career and the NBA's leading passer wants to play a key role in any potential takeover of Tottenham.
"If someone were to come in to buy Spurs, I would like to be involved and partner them," the Canadian said. "Obviously, it would have to make sense for all parties, but, as a fan, it appears to me that Spurs are quite profitable and Premiership football teams are obviously becoming a popular investment for businessmen from all over the world."
Nash's Dad, John, was a semi-professional footballer around London before emigrating to Canada and Nash has owned a British passport all his life. The basketball star proudly has a photograph taken of him with Glenn Hoddle, his childhood hero, and counts a number of the world's leading footballers as friends, including Thierry Henry, Alessandro Del Piero and his fellow Canadian, Owen Hargreaves. Nash has also recently struck up a friendship with Damien Comolli, the Tottenham sporting director.
"I met Damien at the World Cup last summer when I was watching England play and we have stayed in touch since," Nash said. "In fact, my dad and grandfather are going to be guests of his at White Hart Lane when Spurs play Bolton Wanderers this weekend."
