How many in the current team would be in your greatest ever team in your Spurs-supporting lifetime?

I've been watching football since the day Jimmy Greaves made his debut in December 1961 and I can honestly say with my hand on my heart, I have never seen a better goalkeeper than Pat Jennings. Not here in the UK, nor anywhere else in the world.

God bless him. Like he says on the video clip, he's Tottenham through and through, same as all of us.
And that voice. sexy as hell

Rose would probably be the only one to make the cut. Always been a problem position for Spurs.

At one time, Jennings together with Banks and Yashin, were considered the three best GKs in the world.

My team from 90s onwards - Ridiculous team that... solid defensively no need for a DM with those centre backs. Besides with that attacking talent the opposition would be scared to get out of their own half.
Edit: I forgot about Carrick - In for Dembele

I started supporting Spurs in 1980 (born 1972). Of the current squad, only Lloris (*just* edges Clemence) and Alderweireld would get in my best Spurs XI of 1980 - 2016.

Lloris
Thomas Alderweireld King Hughton
Gascoigne Modric
Waddle Hoddle Bale
Klinsmann
Subs:
Clemence, Gough, Ginola, Berbatov, Lineker.

Whilst Kane is on track to be a club legend, he really has some way to go before knocking the likes of Klinsmann or Lineker out off this squad.

Also, we have not had a dearth of good full backs in the last 40 years. Rose and Walker are aggressive athletes who suit our modern pressing system. However, neither are really good enough defensively to break into this team, although both were close.

Cannot help but think a Carrick, Wanyama or Dier would be needed to anchor that midfield!

Started supporting the mighty Spurs in 1980, so...

Lloris
Carr Perryman King Houghton
Waddle Gazza Hoddle Bale
Klinsmann Lineker

Subs: Clemence, Ginola, Ardiles, Modric, Sheringham, Berbatov, Gough

I just couldn't pick that sh*t. Gough played for a season and then was lured to Rangers, he was bloody brilliant and was one of our biggest mistakes letting him go.

I think Gough was homesick, after the first season, and requested to return to Scotland. I agree that he was brilliant and that's why he and King are the CBs in my chosen team.

It was such a shame. He was pivotal to the success of the Rangers team and he would have been a great captain for us for a decade.

I think I was 8 when I started to take notice around 99 so

Lloris
Walker Alder King Rose
Bale VDV Modric Ginola
Kane Berbatov

I'd maybe swap Sandro for Berbatov because I was a huge fan of Sandro before that dam injury and it would balance my team better.

That team is mint.
