Arsenal shocked the footballing world by luring Tottenham centre-back Sol Campbell across the north London divide back in 2001.
The England international joining Arsenal on a free transfer after his White Hart Lane contract expired but it went down badly with Spurs fans.
Campbell was appearing alongside Paul Ince and Paddy Power on a Goggle-box style Facebook event for the Irish bookmaker when he made the claim.
The former footballers were reciting the toughest places they’d played when Campbell said: “Spurs was just a lot of noise. I had a couple of beer cans chucked at me.
“They were chucking bricks and things like that.”
The comment took Ince by surprise, who said: “I’ve had no bricks chucked at me.”
Campbell responded: “No. Coach-wise. When you’re on the coach.
“You have to have a strong mentality and make it work in all that pressure.
“People don’t realise when you have that pressure personally on you and you have to perform, keep cool, do your job and play a game, you learn a lot from that as a human being and a footballer.
“I think a lot of people don’t really appreciate that.
“They see it’s a tough game but they don’t know how tough it can be.
“Going back to your old club is always hard, always hard.”
Campbell went on win two Premier League titles and three FA Cups with Arsenal.
