Some real obscure ones here, and Spurs get away with only having two entries, which is nice. Just goes to show, everyone has their duds.

Nice to see Wet Sham at number 2!

6 - Junior Lewis - Leicester City

"Incredible ability of being 6ft 2in standing height, and 5ft 8in when jumping"

8 Liverpool players in there.

The list is fine as a bit of a laugh and conversation piece, but it's a completely arbitrary selection. Loads and loads of terrible players not there.

To name but one example, Lazar Markovic is STILL a Liverpool player, despite only having played a dozen games for them and costing £20m back when that was still a high fee. Spurs fans I daresay could name several others - Tramazzani, Ginger Pele, Popsecu etc.

Also strikes me as kinda ridiculous that almost the entire list is foreigners. There haven't been any worse British players than Falcao or Christian Poulson? Come on.

Wasn't Popescu brilliant? Went to Barcelona after his season with us...

He was amazing before he came to Spurs, and adequate after he left - Wiki tells me he played 68 league games for Barca - but while he was with us he was an absolute disgrace.

Oh, ok. I was pretty young then (9 or 10) and can't really remember but in my head he'd been a Naybet-like presence.

Gilberto and Gregorz Rasiak for us.

Just thought I'd name them to save those not particularly interested in the whole horrid list.

Have to agree that the list is definitely one that Alan Sugar might have constructed. Some right old Carlos Kickaball's there...

No real surprise to see who's at number one.

The remember the Houllier era at Liverpool involved some particularly iffy players. I think he just had a shopping addiction.

Haven't read it but was it George Weah's cousin?

Peter Taylor loved him and took him everywhere... He was utter garbage

I thought Popescu was decent. His best position was sweeper which he played quite a bit at Barcelona

Roberto Soldado :ninja:

Considering fee etc..

Everyone is hating on this post. I guess y'all have fonder memories of Popescu's 23 league games for us than I do. #23 #TottenhamLegend.

You're definitely not confusing him with Dumitrescu?
