A former Tottenham star has made a shock return to the sport after signing for seventh-tier Southern League Premier Central outfit Harborough Town. The midfielder joined Spurs from Brazilian side Internacional in 2010 for around £8million and played 106 times for the club. The following campaign, Tottenham reached the FA Cup semi-final. But the 35-year-old has now made a sensational comeback by joining seventh-tier Harborough, just in time for the club's FA Cup clash with League One Reading on Saturday. 'These sort of signings don't happen every day but when you get a chance to sign an ex-professional footballer who has played at the highest level in the Premier League and Internationally with Brazil, you just cannot turn it down.'
