Hod. No contest. He was one of the main reasons I the boy got into footy and Spurs in the first place.
I figure it;s a matter of age...
People who pick the likes of BErbatov and Ginola were probably too young to have really watched Gazza in a SPurs shirt, I also guess us who were very young when Gazza played for our club would pick him, Waddle or Lineker because we were too young to have seen Hoddle or Greaves and so on.
Even someone old enough to have seen them all would probably be bias and pick their favourite based on the time when they were young enough to still be captured by the magic football casts on a child with little else to concern themselves with in life.
However, reading you guys waxing lyically about Berbatov, I would have loved to have seen him live to see just how good he was.
Dave Mackay - suspect that will be the choice of many old farts.
I'm going to get lambasted for this but, David Howells. He just had such a professional attitude. Wasn't the most gifted but was a true club man.
I was also really impressed with when he shaved his head in sympathy for his wife when she lost hers during cancer treatment. Shows that he was also a really decent bloke, although Gazza, Glen and Ginola were great players, but I doubt they would displayed a similar act of solidarity to another human being.
Got to be gazza for me he's a pure leg end and after watching him and Lineker in italia '90 at the age of 8 they made me become a spurs supporter.
