“Personally, Aaron Lennon and Shaun Wright-Phillips [were my toughest opponents],” he told talkSPORT.

“They were so quick. Quick off the mark. Such tough games. Where they are so quick over five yards and you give them a kick and they just bounce off of the floor.

“Aaron Lennon was a great player for Tottenham,” he said.

“Whether it was his end product or he didn’t get enough goals, maybe some people don’t think he was. I played against Cristiano Ronaldo but I wouldn’t say he was at his best.

“He was a winger, he was tricky, you always had to stay switched on. But I always did alright against him. He can make you look stupid maybe with a nutmeg or too many stepovers and you can fall over,” Bridge added.
