Michael Dawson is grateful to boss Andre Villas-Boas for giving the chance to him to prove his worth at Tottenham. Dawson will cause Spurs into the booming cauldron of St Jakob-Park tonight, knowing that victory over Basle will secure Tottenham's first European semi-final look in 29 years. "I wasn't active in the first game of the summer season, however the boss saw that I was spending so much time and he gave me a chance," Dawson said. "It is been a fascinating time, to say the least." Rewind ten months and it absolutely was a totally different story for the England centre-back. Merely a matter of days after being anointed as club leader, the 29-year-old was told he could keep for QPR, who had a AA9million bid for the gamer accepted. Dawson turned down the move and, since the joyous time, has become an ever-present in the heart of the Tottenham back four. Villas-Boas had great religion in William Gallas, Jan Vertonghen and Steven Caulker so he was under no pressure to give Dawson another chance, however the former Nottingham Forest person is certainly glad he did. He added: "In summer time I was out of the team, but I stayed because I believed I could reunite in to the team and I could help the team accomplish things. Now I'm playing I am loving every moment of it." Dawson could without difficulty took advantage of QPR's deep pockets, but he contends the notion of leaving the club where he's spent the final eight-and-a-half years never crossed his mind. "Had I wished to, I may have gone but I never, ever gave a thought," Dawson to it said. "I love playing at the club. I'm leader of the staff and it is a fantastic experience leading these boys out and, if I can help things to be achieved by the boys, it would be great." To express his decision appears like a sensible you might be an exaggeration. While QPR's relegation from the Barclays Premier League seems set to be proved in the next couple of weeks, Dawson will soon be concentrating all his efforts on primary Spurs to a top-four end, and possibly a location in next month's Europa League final in Amsterdam.
