Test Event: Pick your Legends Team v Inter Forever

[Spurger King]

That defence is giving me nightmares already

Would it be weird if Pochettino played? He’d probably be useful.

Or we could just wedge Ruddock into our goal sticks.

They both left a bitter taste in the mouth, but at least Berbatov went to the biggest and best club in the country/world and actually won a lot, same with Teddy and Carrick.
Keane, I think he jumped ship but even Liverpool is a club that win things with more regularity than Tottenham.
Newcastle hadn't, and still haven't won anything, of any description since the 1950's
He jumped ship for, what I suspect was the biggest salary on offer rather than the chance to actually win trophies.

Tbf context is important. At the time Newcastle were very good. They'd finished 5th the season before and often would qualify for the CL. We finished 14th and had qualified for Europe once in a decade (through the league cup), so it did have logic. The fact that Newcastle started to tank and we started to climb is just a funny coincidence.

The only thing Carr did wrong was talk openly about moving to a bigger club, that’s never going to endear you to the fans of the club you’ve left behind.

Aside from that, moving from Spurs to Newcastle was a definite upwards step at the time, and I don’t blame him for taking it.

I love the fact that Nayim is involved. Definitely not a legend from his time with us, but not many men can say they’ve lobbed seaman from 50 yards.

With Berbatov my attitude has softened over the years. I didn’t like the way he went about leaving, but he was involved in King’s testimonial, and the WHL send off, so he must care about the club.

I can think of no Earthly reason why ‘Chimbomba’ is there, but it doesn’t bother me. Hope he brings his gloves.

Would have loved to see Barmby and Brad, and I hope someone at the club at least asked Maradona to make an appearance. A cameo from the GOAT would have been amazing.

I've lobbed seaman from 50 yards...but my wife told me to clean it up afterwards. .....

Old joke but I couldn't resist.

I regularly do, the wife loves it.

Probably got Chimbo involved for younger legs to provide a bit of energy. It's all well and good having a load of 90's players who we'd consider legends but it isn't going to make for a great game when their legs have gone...

Berba and Rafa in the same team should be glorious. Imagine the link up play.

Sadly confirmed that Ledley won't be involved.

https://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/news/2019/march/ledley-fans-will-lift-u18s-like-they-did-me/

"Ledley will be following both (test) events from afar - he will be in Australia with our Global Football Development team promoting our new partnership with the University of Wollongong."

I can only think that he feels he isn't really capable of playing a match and doesn't want to be there just to hobble around for a few minutes or distract from the legends on the pitch

Think he might be in L'Pool don't you think.

 

[bubble07]

Lesley should have just taken kick off. He is our only true modern legend

Who do we want to see turn out for the Inter side? Brazilian Ronaldo running at Chris Perry would be epic

I think it’ll be more of a wobble than a run for Ronaldo these days

 

[Mate]

I think it’ll be more of a wobble than a run fit Ronaldo these days

Just googled him and yeah, he's let himself go.

Some incredible forwards over the years though. Vieri, Adriano, Baggio, Recoba, Eto'o, Ibrahimovic, Crespo, Milito...

I doubt they’d get many big names. It’s not going to mean very much to former Inter players.

Can’t wait to see Gazza but also worried that he might embarrass himself on the pitch. The last video I saw of him playing football, he was absolutely awful but I assume that was in the middle of his heavy drinking days. If they are behind him then he might be ok. Will be excellent to see him in our kit again anyway.

 

[mark87]

If I could rate this funny, like and winner I would. Cannot wait to see gazza.

 

[easley91]

If it wasn't possible to get any more excited than I already was. Gazza, too? Get in!

I remember years ago Sky One had a couple of celebs/ex-pros matches where some Geordie guy from Big Brother was MOM on both occasions. Anyhow, they had Gazza come onto the pitch at half time to have a shot into an empty net (no idea if it was to win someone some money or something) and he failed miserably, scuffing a shot which didn't even reach the byline.

That said, to have him on the pitch, with seemingly the majority of his troubles behind him, will be pretty heartwarming. I'm sure there can't be many people who thought a decade ago that he'd even be alive in 2019, so it'll be great just to see him don the shirt - fingers crossed he can pull off one bit of magic to remind us all just how ridiculously talented he was in his playing days.
