which former player would sort us out

[BoringOldFan]

I think they could do with a good talking to by Dave Mackay. Trouble is he's from an era when it was an honour to play for Spurs, while most of this lot just look at it as a stopping point to fill their boots with cash.

How can you mention Roberts, when he was a very pale imitation of Dave Mackay, who would improve any team? Your name gives a clue to the answer. Trust me, Mackay was infinitely better than Roberts.

If passion, heart and sheer bloody mindedness are your only criteria, you might just as well have said John Pratt! You failed to mention quality and class, which Mackay had in abundance as well as more of all the factors you have mentioned, than Roberts could ever have hoped to have had. Plus he was and is a gentleman.

I'm going by what i've seen with my own eyes and not what some old codger tells me to.:wink:

No slur on Mackay, i'm sure you're right and all that. :grin:

 

[nuttynoah]

MacKay

him or mabbutt would lead by example and take no prisoners

 

[TheChosenOne]

Cyril Knowles.. Ain't had a left back since then.

Bale moves to LM - We win title

 

[NickHSpurs]

Hate to say it but possibly Sol Campbell for ability, experience and leadership

 

[CosmicHotspur]

I have to nominate two.

Pat Jennings. We'd certainly have clean sheets.

Jimmy Greaves. Goals galore, the expert dribbler/poacher who rarely missed an opportunity to stick the ball in the back of the net.

 

[TheBlueRooster]

Jennings.

Other than that Mackay.

 

[Flatters]

ledley king

 

[Flatters]

Booooooo

Ledley has just as much leadership as Sol ever did, and is better than Sol in every way apart from in the air.

 

[Real_madyidd]

MacKay

I agree. You win!

Had everything we currently lack but I suspect he would get injured!

Bobby Smith (not as a player but as an example of what a proper player was)

He should come in to the club and show the players what a real man is. He would limp up to them and tell them that he is near crippled due to busting his balls week in week out, even with serious injuries, just to pull on the Spurs shirt and play in front of the White Hart Lane crowd.

Then he would take them to his tiny 2 bedroom flat that he lives in and let them know that even after all the trophies he won with Spurs and being the second greatest scorer of all time for Spurs and scoring something like 10 goals in 15 games for England, he can't afford to buy flash cars and expensive holidays for him and his missus as he was paid NORMAL wages in his day, not the outrageous amounts the crappy players in our team get now.

After seeing all this I would hope all the players feel ashamed at only giving 50%-60% in matches this season and feel embarassed at being multi millionaires without having ever won a trophy and not contributing anything to the Spurs history books in the last 10 years.

Enough said...for now.

:hand:

Take it back! :wink:

I've had a good think about it.

Thought how we'd need a keeper, then thought about a defender. Then thought about Hoddle, Gazza, Ginola...

But ended up with one man.

Jurgen Klinsmann.

Player. Manager.

 

[ricardomcd]

Richard Gough

 

[Rupstoh]

past or present??

The thread says former.

 

[nedley]

Kevin Scott!

 

[Rupstoh]

Cyril Knowles.. Ain't had a left back since then.

Bale moves to LM - We win title

Ditto.

Look at all the other winners of the Premiership or Champions League - the left back was a solid bloke.

 

[Rupstoh]

Steve Perryman by the way
