Mine:

Gomes, Ziege, Ledley, Dawson, Vertonghen, VDV, Sandro, Dembele, Ginola, Klinsmann, Keane

Gomes , VDV, Keaneo all legends

Here's my go-
Barry Daines- as a kid I always got his autograph as he seemed to have time for youngsters in those days.



Michael Dawson- happy he’s back at the club

Ledley King- always comes across well

Gary Mabbutt- top bloke

Chris Houghton- still to this day always comes across well when I see him on TV



Ossie- magical

Gazza- totally mental in every way

Steve Perryman- my favourite from back in the day

Tony Galvin- another from when I was young who made appositive impression on me as a kid



Sonny- long may he stay here

Peter Crouch- a right laugh



Subs- Mark Falco, J Defoe, Danny Rose (for how he helped U23’s in his last year), VDV and Benny (for shits and giggles)

Never got to see him play in the flesh as much as Ray. Did meet him at few Spurs Supporters Club end of season does, and yes he was very polite and unassuming. But those hands!!!

…….and what a ‘keeper!!

 

[eViL]

A team full of Sandro.

I miss his darts and singing videos.

 

[Trix]

How Freund isn't in every team is beyond me.

Arbeit!!!

 

[RickyVilla]

Everyone keeps forgetting Pat van den Hauwe and Ben Thatcher.

 

[BringBack_leGin]

How Freund isn't in every team is beyond me.

Arbeit!!!

Depends on your criteria for being likeable. I remember a player who shirked responsibility, hid from the match around him, and literally ran away one time when Roy Keane snarled at him. Couldn’t ever like that no matter how much cheerleading he did.

 

[stevenqoz]

Jennings
Perryman Roberts Mabbutt Hughton
Waddle Hoddle Gazza Ginola
Defoe Greaves
If this side ever gives the ball away in midfield it may take 20 minutes to get it back again

 

[fishhhandaricecake]

Crouchy getting a lot of love, fair play.

Just for the Roy Keane mention, Steve Sedgley and Justin Edinburgh!

Can't believe I'm seeing so many people suggest VDV.

Loved him as a player but the guy hit his wife. Automatic disqualification surely

Walker Daws Ledley Disco
Tainio Hojbjerg Dele

Met him a couple of times - and Jennings epitomises the word 'gentleman'.

Much too young to see these guys play - but a few years ago I also met Cliff Jones - again, a wonderful, warm, lovely man.
