Following the announcement of the Bears' game in London against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Tottenham Hotspur legend Ledley King visited Halas Hall in April to learn more about American football and meet with receiver DJ Moore.

ChicagoBears.com sat down with King to learn more about his experience at the Bears' facility, the differences between American football and soccer and more.

What was your favorite part of Halas Hall?

I enjoyed so many different parts of it, but one I particularly liked was going into the locker room. Speaking to the kit man, Tony [Medlin], and just getting the experience of what it's like day-to-day and all the equipment that goes into the daily practice as well as the matches. That was really interesting for me to see that.

What's something you think the Bears should implement in their facility that Tottenham has?

Well, I saw a lot of things that I would take away from here and I would bring to Tottenham. I saw the barber room, which I think is amazing. That's something that I'm going to try and take back to Tottenham's facilities and try and get that started. Most of the equipment was similar, just on a bigger scale over here. I saw weights that I've never seen before — they were that big. You have the underwater treadmill here that we have at our training facilities. We have a lot more pitches (fields) — that's one thing that we do have. I think we have maybe 21 pitches at our training facility, and we have a hotel. We have a lodge right there where players can stay before games.

What would you say is the biggest difference between an American football training facility and an soccer training facility?

There's not too much of it. The size of everything is just a bigger scale here. Going into the locker room, as you call it, it's probably 3 to 4 times bigger than what we call our changing rooms back at our training facilities. The gym here was huge. We have maybe a squad of 20, 23 players or so that we use the changing rooms and the gym for. The NFL has a lot more, so it's just really the size of everything that's a lot bigger.

What was your first introduction to the NFL?

I've always been aware of it. Being a sports person myself, I take an interest in all sports and I'm a big American sports fan — NBA and then obviously getting to learn a little bit about the NFL along the way. Probably someone like a Reggie Bush many years back was when I started to really look at the game. But before that, I had always been aware of it.

What is your favorite thing about the NFL?

One of my favorite things is that it feels like there's a position for everyone, regardless of your size. You don't have to be necessarily the fastest or the tallest or jump the highest. There's a different specific position for anyone who can do something particularly well, whether you're great at catching, great at kicking, whether you're fast. I think it's great that young kids will be able to identify with someone on the field and say, 'maybe there's something that I could do.'

If you played for the Bears, what would your position and your number be?

Well, my number my whole career was number 26. So I would stick with that. And I think I would be a wide receiver. I feel like I've got pretty good hands. I like the sound of a wide receiver.

Have you been to any NFL stadiums?

I have been to a few stadiums, but I haven't seen games in the U.S. So I've been just looking around the facilities and touring the stadiums. Obviously been to a few games in the Tottenham stadium, but I've yet to watch one in the U.S. That's on my bucket list.

What's the biggest difference between an NFL stadium and a soccer stadium?

I would again say the size. The capacity of an NFL stadium is on average a lot bigger than a football stadium in the UK, although they are growing now. I think one of the biggest things that I've experienced from watching the game in London is that you have such an engaging fan base. It's very family orientated. It just seems like a big fun day out where in England the matches feel a lot more serious. I've seen so many different jerseys in the London stadiums when I've watched NFL games there. It just seems like everyone's really having a lot of fun.

Where should Bears fans go when they travel to London for the game?

To be honest, the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is fantastic to experience different things. We have the skywalk above the stadium, which is just fantastic and has great views across London. Also we have an F1 go-karting track that has recently been built. I've tested it myself and if you're into F1 then that's something to try out as well. Of course, heading into Central London, there's so many different facilities. The London Eye is such a great attraction. Madame Tussauds, as well. London is a fantastic place.
