Most likeable Spurs XI

[Donki]

No Lee Young-pyo? I remember him as a likeable chap.

 

[beats1]

LOL people have chimbonda in their likeable 11

The guy who stormed down the tunnel after being subbed off at Wembley,

Yet N'Dombele has gone from the bullied by Mourinho, to hated on this place despite nothing actually happening and just hearsay from different places. Though he does need to get fit

 

[bigfrooj]

Gomes and I used to go to the same barbers, he was the loveliest guy you could meet. The barbers there adored him. They adored his wife more though ? she really was lovely.

 

[CantSmileWithoutYou]

OK, on the strict rule of most likeable, since my first game in the 81-82 season...

3-5-2 of nice guys...

Where’s Tarricco? Used to love watching him hide his footballing deficiencies by kicking people up in the air!

 

[fortworthspur]

Gomes
Corluka Daws Ledley BAE
Palacios Zokora
Chadli Paulinho Steed
Pav


other than Ledley players I liked more than their ability dictated

 

[therealGlenn]

at my peril I’d throw Jansen in there…don’t know why but I always liked hi. And wished he would have succeeded

[HodisGawd]

Martin Jol has to be the manager.

 

[CantSmileWithoutYou]

Martin Jol has to be the manager.

Oooh.... Love Martin Jol, but Pochettino....come on....

 

[spurmin]

Got to love Gomes and his warm ups with the cross bar.

 

[Saoirse]

Oooh.... Love Martin Jol, but Pochettino....come on....

Poch was obviously even more successful. But fairly or otherwise, he seemed quite sour in his last few months here, often even quite negative to be honest. That definitely took just a touch of the shine off his likeability for me - he'd certainly be a very close runner-up, but it'll always be BMJ!

 

[Metalhead]

No way can Mabbutt be left out of a lineup.

 

[Saoirse]

Also, maybe a controversial addition, but he deserves a mention in here today...

WAKE ME UP, BEFORE YOU GO-GO, WHO NEED BALE WHEN YOU'VE GOT SISSOKO?!

A man who always gave his all for the shirt he inherited. I'll miss you Moussa!

 

[Danny1]

Robinson

YP Lee
Daws
Ledley
Verts

Sandro
Freund

Sonny
Rafa
Ginola

Crouchy

Special mentions to Defoe, Jenas, Keano, Mabbutt, Teemu, PEH, Japh, Azza, Gazza, and a few more I’m sure.

 

[spurmin]

No way can Mabbutt be left out of a lineup.

Absolutely agree. Just wish he’d lay off the helium.

 

[1961beavera]

The unlikely XI.

Tony Parks

Mitchell Thomas
Phil Beal
John Lacy
Jimmy Holmes

Cliff Jones
Micky Hazard
Vinny Samways
John Chiedozie

Chris Armstrong
Gerry Armstrong

 

[N17-77]

Games
Hughton Dawson Mabbutt BAE
VdV Freund Son
Klinsmann Defoe Crouch

No defensive balance but fuck it

 

[BringBack_leGin]

A man who always gave his all for the shirt he inherited. I'll miss you Moussa!

I just don’t think, that spell in 18/19 aside, this is true. The guy was a hider who shrugged responsibility in my opinion.

 

[ralphs bald spot]

no one mentioned Eric the Viking surely shoe in for keeper
