When I was a kid I had a Klinsmann 18 shirt, it practically didn't leave my back. When I scored goals in the playground I risked life and limb doing the Klinsmann celebration.
Then it was Ginola, I wore the no14 for my club side. He was the perfect player when I was younger, then I couldn't give a fuck about stats, and end product, and pass completion and work rate and stuff like that. He was just me the kid on the pitch, going to WHL was worthwhile just to watch him play - deep down I think I would have a different view of the guy the way I watch the game these days, but then, he was magic.
Then it was Keano I guess, I had a lot of love for that little fella despite how it all ended, then along came Berbatov and they both struck that glorious partnership, and that embrace at Wembley still gets me.
In this current side, Modric and VDV, and of course the King.
I can't name my 'best', because they all came at different stages of my life and where Tottenham were when they were playing for us, but ultimately as a wide eyed idealistic kid I think Ginola gave me the greatest joy.
