It's not
Kings wasn't so much an injury as it was a genetic thing i thought? No cartlidge in his knee wasn't it?

I suspect we might not see him in a Spurs shirt again TBH

Thought it was due to a challenge on his first game for us (Vs Liverpool I think)

It's not. Kulu has a problem with his kneecap. King's was cartilage related. One is bone, one is tissue.

Glad you cleared that up, I was just about to send you a DM with image of the rash in my groin area.

It was Rory Delap who clattered Ledley at Pride Park 30 seconds into his debut which resulted in some less than optimal surgery that lead to his chronic knee issues:
…The England international has been unable to train fully for years and, incredibly, his difficulties stem from an injury sustained on his full debut against Derby County in October 1999. "It's amazing that I played as long as I did really when I think back to that game at Pride Park," added King. "It was my first start for Spurs, I was playing in midfield and after about 30 seconds I was clattered by Rory Delap. "I just about managed to complete the game but I needed an operation on my left knee afterwards which kept me out for six weeks. I've been having operations on that knee ever since. "You could say that was the start of the end and it was four days after my 19th birthday. "I quickly grasped that I was never going to be as good as I wanted to be but I still felt I could be very good. "It was probably most frustrating for the first year or so but it could have all been over after that first game so I came to accept how things were. "There is a lot of disappointment though because I know it could have been different."
King's retirement pain
Ledley King has revealed he thought he could continue to manage his knee problem until his surgeon explained the severity of his condition.
Thankfully our medical department are far more skilled nowadays!

I never knew that! Rory Delap. Scumbag father of Liam of Cheatski. Hmm.
Disgusting that a senior pro will deliberately clatter into a kid making his debut after just 30 seconds, to try to scare him out of the game.
That is why we need VAR and proper officiating that will notice these things and punish players properly in-game.

Just finished Cruyff’s book and he says Van Basten essentially blamed him for playing him in a game where he was injured and his injury was cut short as a result of said injury.

He had an injection at the end of the year...and the last week or two would be indicative of the success of that injection settling things down. With the noises coming out, it would imply it's not been successful.
It really will be difficult now, to know what other options/routes there are to take...as the injection route is usually a sign that they were already lacking a way forward with this issue.

I think he is cooked. Don't be too disappointed if we don't see him back in a Spurs shirt.

This. I wonder if they will need to open him up again and try to fix whatever issue he is having now. Either way we won't see him again this season.
