Defender Steven Taylor is relishing the first game of the season, comparing himself to a "kid in a sweet shop". The 26 year old who spent the last six months of last season being treated for a ruptured Achillies joined his team mates for the first day back in training earlier today.
Ahead of training he told NUFC.co.uk;
"That's going to be the best thing. I have missed the banter, I have missed being in amongst the lads and training with them. I just can't wait to get back. It's going to feel like a little kid in a sweet shop.
That first game of the season, for me, is the most important thing. That's all am gearing up for now. Everything I do now is just ready for that Tottenham Hotspur game.
I just can't wait to get started again and finish off where I left off. Hopefully this club is going places. Last year, we proved a lot of people wrong and hopefully, we will do that again this year.
We have got the players, it's a tight, great team spirit we have got here. Maintain that now and let's see what happens."
