One for the oldies perhaps.

Who is the best leftwinger/MF you've seen for Spurs?

Jones?
Robertson?
Galvin?
Ginola?
Reid? (Okay joking!)

Any other suggestions?

From what I've seen (and I've seen Galvin the most) I'd have to pick Cliff Jones, even if he wasn't woth £100 a week!

There's no one near to the one and only Cliiford Jones; scored plenty with foot and head; mesmerising wing play as well.

I'd have to go for Cyril, although predominantly our left back, he was up and down that touchline throughout the game, a tigrish tackler, one minute doing dragbacks almost on his own goalline, next pinging in precise crosses for Gilzean to get his head on and then scoring himself by bending free kicks round walls better than Beckham has ever done.

A tremendous player of his day. Bale could do worse than study old MOTD footage of him and try to model himself on him.

Cliff Jones obviously a legend, but I can't not say Ginola as I was born a good 20 years after Cliff was with us.

Ginola was the best left winger for sure. I cannot find anyone to compare with in todays modern football world. He was unique.

Best left back was Atouba. BAE is also very good. If Taiwo signs, he would be the best ever.

Ginola was outstanding to watch!

Others that I have enjoyed watching play wide left have been:

Galvin
Waddle
Dumitrescu (not many games but supremely gifted)

You're joking right ?

In my time the most talented individual was Ginola, but he played for himself not for the team.

The most effective was Steve Hodge, closely followed by Tony Galvin.

I still don't really think of Modric as a left wing as such, but he's my favourite player of all the players that I've seen play wide left but not in a "winger/wide left" type way, just in a footballer type way. What I mean is, I'd love watching this little fella where ever he played on the park.

Chrssy Waddle was a god. Went on to play for the European Champions. Ginola was a great player for us, in a team of shite and like BC said he was one selfish greedy MF.

Waddle in my era.
