Mackay, White, and Greaves but I suspect Kane will overtake them three, if he stays at Spurs, to become our greatest ever player.

Surprised I've not seen Cliff Jones mentioned more on this thread, he was a wonderful left winger and top of my favourite list.
Mackay was a winner and Greaves was the best ever and Hoddle completes my best three list.
Kane will become a legend of this club.
But Cliff Jones is still my favourite:)

If we're talking about players you've witnessed play for us in a stadium, rather than via old footage etc. then for me it's:

Gazza
Bale
Ginola

Three players that could single-handedly change the outcome of a match with a moment of pure brilliance, yet at the same time there was always the nagging doubt that they'd have one of those games where nothing worked for them.
Strikers like Kane, Klinsmann, Defoe, Sheringham and so on are obviously up there, but what they did or do was largely because of the chances created for them.

Paulo ‘virtual free transfer’ Tramezzani
Gilberto Silva
Timothee Atouba

What can I say, I like left backs...

Different game back then. Greaves could do it all, no question, but he had far more space to do it. Wouldn't say Kane is a classical centre forward though. He has far more to his game, and although I loved Martin Chivers, Kane is both a better a striker and a creator than Chivers.

yes it was a different game back then, CONTACT was allowed
True, should have mentioned the physical contact, but regardless, Jimmy Greaves is the best Spurs player imo anyway, taking the differences of the game over time into account. Hoddle second. Not sure who's third.

George Best and Jimmy Greaves, in that order, were the best forwards I've ever seen in the domestic game in my lifetime.

Maybe not the best players, but ones who have a special place in my heart:
1) Gary Stevens - replied to my pen-pal letter in about 1984. I was six years old. I wonder if he's still waiting for my reply to him.
2) Teemu Tainio - gave my wife flowers after we won the Peace Cup.
3) Gary Mabbutt - met him at a charity event when I was a cub scout. Generous with his time and really warm, and the only footballer there who wasn't completely self obsessed or rude to the young guests.

Kane is sensational, but is enabled by an equally superb team. Bale in his last season was winning games single handed. He was the definition of unplayable for 2 years.

I agree with much you say, though this team has grown with Kane and much of bales team still make up this one. Lloris, Jan, Rose, dembele, walker till this, I don't like to devalue bale, but Kane has that special something just as much if not moreso than bale. Can be just as unplayable, and has won 2 gold boots on the bounce and possibly 3 if he gets back quick. Bale is definitely in my top 10, but like Kane don't get in top 3.
