Walker reveals emotional reaction from Villas-Boas after Tottenham sacking

He mentioned that he would never forget the moment when Villas-Boas spoke to the squad after his dismissal and recounted how some of their teammates had been moved to tears.

"I've got tears running down my eyes... Michael Dawson is welling up," said the 34-year-old. "That's how much he meant to the lads." 

The Portuguese manager almost led Spurs to the Champions League in his first season with a squad that included 2012-13 PFA Player of the Year, Gareth Bale. 

The manager was let go after a 5-0 defeat by Liverpool in December 2013 and Walker admitted he regrets the team's poor performances that led to his departure. 

"(The Team) Didn't do him justice. For 10 or 12 men to be crying because the manager's gone, he's done something well in the dressing room".
