Danny Rose has opened up on his struggles with

football amid a break from the sport.

The 32-year-old, who last played for Watford

before his contract was mutually terminated last
year, has been without a club since September.
Speaking after Newcastle's 6-1 demolition of
Tottenham, Rose appeared emotional as he
revealed he stopped watching football altogether.
The full-back added that he didn't even tune in to
watch the World Cup.

Rose began his career at Leeds before moving to

Tottenham in 2007, where he burst onto the scene
with a stunning long-range volley against rivals
Arsenal on his Premier League debut.

Making 214 appearances for the north London side,

Rose was loaned out to Newcastle in 2019. His exit
under Jose Mourinho was well documented in
Amazon Prime's All or Nothing series. The left-back
eventually moved on permanently to Watford in 2021
but could only turn out nine times for the Hornets,
before taking a break from football altogether.

Opening up on Sky Sports, Rose said: "It's obviously

no secret I've been away from football and I've
deliberately not watched any football. I didn't watch
any of the World Cup.

"It was only until the other night I watched City in the
Champions League - and watching it, listening to
the music, I started to think 'OK I miss it'.

"I haven't been to a stadium in a long time and the

feelings, you know, I love football, is a lot to do with
the atmosphere but just seeing how they play
football and that feeling after three points has just
reignited some feelings within myself."

Rose was on punditry duty for Sunday afternoon's

clash at St James' Park in which Newcastle
obliterated Tottenham. Eddie Howe's side scored
five goals in just 20 minutes leaving Cristian Stellini's
men reeling at half-time.

And the full-back didn't hold back on his former side

at the interval. "Jamie [Redknapp] told me you have
to have the right personnel to play a back four so I
was wrong there," he said.

"There’s been so many mistakes and all I’ve been

thinking all first half is how am I unemployed? To be
five nil down after 20 minutes is unheard of for a
club that are supposedly a massive club."

Kieron Dyer, who also played for Newcastle, added:

"I’m in disbelief. I thought Newcastle would win the
game but to be five nil up after half an hour was just
incredible. There was a lot made about Conte when
he came out about his own players - about the
Spurs players - and this is why he gave the outburst.

"Everything that he said in that press conference

has come true. Spurs, the players, they cost the
managers their jobs, they’re that bad. We touched
on the full-backs being a problem, the centre halves
have been poor, the midfielders have been poor, I
think Skipp’s the only one who’s really tried and
they’ve been put to sword."
