I've always felt that there are some players who were born to don a Spurs shirt.

Dozy wasn't one of them (and I could name quite a few more).

No, but he was what I thought we needed at the time...which is different to saying he was born to don a Spurs shirt.

My gawd, you wretch, are you hounding me with your Vicked Vitch of the Velsh Vest antics:shrug:

:grin:

There are players who fit the Spurs mould and somehow look "right" to me in our kit. I can't quite explain it.

For instance, much as I liked Terry Venables as a bloke, I never felt that he was born to wear the Spurs kit - even though he not only played for but also managed us. El Tel always looked right in the Chelsea kit to me.

A few of the more recent players I felt were born to wear the navy and white are Bale, VDV and Woody. Ginola was right, as were Hoddle, Perryman and Mabbutt.

Just a few examples - I could make two lists stretching back to the 50s/60s. Nothing to do with talent, just whether it felt right or not in an instinctive, subjective kind of way. Nothing witchy (or vitchy) about it. Perhaps a feminine thing though.
