Tottenham defender Ledley King admits he was left angry by rumours that circulated suggesting his career could be over.The England international has endured a torrid time with injuries in missing the World Cup with a broken metatarsal and the start of the season following knee surgery.Not long after returning to action King was sidelined again, for four months with a foot injury, and it was then that a whispering campaign with regards his future was manifest.Angry that it was suggested his career could be in jeopardy, King - who is now fully fit - has moved to allay any such fears and express his frustration that such rumours were given credence."When I first heard the rumours, it wasn't funny in the least," King told the Daily Mirror."I wouldn't say it made me hurt, but it made me think about what was happening."I was never worried about my career and never felt my career was going to be threatened in any way."But I was aware that these stories were going around. I heard it from people in the streets, friends even asked me and I heard from everywhere."People were stopping me in the street and asking me whether my career was over. People were beginning to believe it."I've had my fair share of injuries but I don't think they've ever been bad enough for people to believe it was all over."It was another ridiculous story circulating that gets out of control."
