Tottenham are benefitting from the legacy of young talent he left at White Hart Lane, says new Aston Villa manager Tim Sherwood.
Sherwood, 46, was Spurs manager for 28 matches last season after joining the club's coaching staff in 2008.
And he feels boss Mauricio Pochettino is reaping the rewards of the work he did with young players like Harry Kane.
Sherwood said: "He's inherited a good bunch of young players who were developed by myself."
Sherwood, who gave Kane his first Premier League start for Tottenham in April 2014, added: "If I hadn't resisted the club wanting to loan him out last January, he wouldn't be Harry Kane now.
"I respect him for that. It's good for me. I left a bit of a legacy there with those young players and he's carried it on."

Yeah, no fucking kidding, Sherwood said: "He's inherited a good bunch of young players who were developed by myself."
