Former Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas and Togo international Emmanuel Adebayor fell out over a beanie hat.
Spurs fans were mystified by Villas-Boas’s stubborn refusal to pick the striker – despite Spurs’ lack of firepower in front of goal – and the Dailymail has revealed the astonishing reason.
At the beginning of the season, the Spurs striker walked into a team meeting wearing a hat and Villas-Boas asked him to remove it; a request Adebayor declined.
The pair exchanged heated words and during the argument the Portuguese boss vowed not to play the striker.
Adebayor played no part in the season as a result of that clash, except for one appearance as a half-time substitute during the 6-0 humbling by Manchester City.
Since Villas-Boas was sacked, the striker has been restored to the fold by new boss Tim Sherwood, who has reaped the rewards.
The striker has given Spurs a new lease of life and netted four times in five appearances.
