Most likeable Spurs XI

[fishhhandaricecake]

Name your most likeable Spurs XI from over the years.

I’m going with a 4-4-2:

•Paul Robinson - “England’s n.o1, England’s England’s n.o1”

•Chimbonda - just a cool guy
•King - absolute legend of a player and a man, one club man
•Dawson - passion, great smile, top bloke
•Vertonghen - Super Jan that is all

•Freund - so much effort, what a character, much loved player and still loves the club now
•Gazza - everyone loved gazza
•Ginola - who didn’t love our sexy french winger (apart from the man in the raincoat)
•Son - everyone loves Sonny

•Klinsmann - legend the first time then came back and saved us from relegation, talks so fondly about Spurs all the time, proper legend and likeable guy
•Ferdinand - Super Les, top bloke, great smile and class player

If we’re going for purely how likeable players are/ were, and nothing to do with actual ability, I’d go:

Robinson
Tanganga Dawson Mabbutt Vertonghen
Son Sandro Tainio Ginola
Klinsmann Crouch​

lol. Bit harsh on a few of those to be included.

I don't want to turn this in to a negative thread but I would enjoy doing an XI of players I disliked. I fear it would start a civil war though

Struggled to think of a keeper. I loved Modric, Carrick and Berbatov back in the day but transfer requests and moving to Man U are unforgivable. The saddest thing is that it’s a very good team.

Keller and Koncheski aside, that’s a pretty good team.
