Jamie O'Hara. I'm probably most fond of him out of almost all otu first team players. Its almost paternal (funny, considering he's only 5 years younger than me). I e-mailed the club a message to him after the Cup Final penalty miss. I don't think i've done that to anyone else.

Rocket Ronny is probably another (made the FA Cup match against Southampton that much sweeter). I also like players like Jenas and Bentley that not many other fans do.

Andy reid is a good one, I also liked Iversen, Acimovic and Bunjie from more recent times


Old skool unusual loves in a spurs shirt were; Vincent Samways and steven Sedgley.

I loved Iversen as well, but didn't everyone? :shrug:

my sister did, but then she hasnt had the greatest record when it comes to names on shirts...

positga, ziegler and Giovanni are on the list as well... hopefully the latter is just a slow starter!

Mostly fullbacks because when I was a kid I would alternate between playing left and right back in Sunday League games, so my fave players were Dean Austin and Justin Edinburgh.

Allan Nielsen for me, was the first player I remember as being my favourite at the club. Obviously, he's won himself a place in our history and lots of people's good books with the winner in the League Cup, but aside from that I always got the impression that most people were pretty meh about him - I loved his enthusiastic (if not always all that skilfull) midfield show from day one.

Erik Thorstvedt, Sergei Rebrov and Helder Postiga probably!

They were all pretty pants for us really but i kind of had a soft spot for them!

The viking was an outfield player stuck in goal, Rebrov was supposed to be Shevchenko of old but turned out to be the Shevchenko of new and Postiga....well...i just loved singing the song!!

I hope you didn't model your game on those two? I always thought they weren't even good enough for sunday league. :)

Tainio. Loved the club, and I loved him winding up Cheski in the Carling Cup final. Timmy Atouba as well, heart attack material but what a legend.

Rohan Ricketts, really loved this kid, remember him scoring a blinder in a League Cup tie under Pleat and then kissing the badge. After this moment I loved him, really thought he would make it.

Mabizela, just for that introduction and the thunderbolt against leicester.

Looking for Dalmat

David Howells, cos he once scored a long range header against leeds who my mate supported at the time.

Helder Postiga, first game of the season against leeds he looked like he was gonna be a legend.

Stephane Dalmat, The Birmingham and Wolves games he looked unbelievable, understand we would have signed him if he hadnt have been such troublesome in training etc, had the qualities to really take us places i thought.

Mido, His debut as well made me like him, and his play acting against arsenal.

Jenas, my mate hates him but whenever we watch a game together jenas scores cracking goals. I still believe he is the most underated current spurs player or most overated by everyone else!!
