Your 1 favourite Spurs Player of all Time

[Matthew Wyatt]

Hod. No contest. He was one of the main reasons I the boy got into footy and Spurs in the first place.

 

[spurdownunder]

Klinsmann - he's the reason I support Spurs.

 

[IWASTHEREIN61]

Bill Brown, Peter Baker, Ron Henry, Danny Blanchflower, Maurice Norman, Dave Mackay, Cliff Jones, John White, Bobby Smith, Les Allen, Terry Dyson.

Being an old fart, Jimmy Greaves is my favourite Spurs player of all time but I had a very soft spot for Cliff Jones. Great player, great bloke.

I can understand why the likes of Gazza and Ginola are so popular as we love such flair players but they lit up WHL for only a relatively short period whereas Greavesy truly was King of the Lane from late 61 to early 1970

I also loved Pat Jennings, Gillie, Glenda and Waddle and Ricky Villa.
Left the UK for Oz in 86 so can't comment on players I've only seen on the box. However, reading you guys waxing lyically about Berbatov, I would have loved to have seen him live to see just how good he was.

Hoddle

 

[Fergus]

Mackay, just ask Billy Bremner.

I figure it;s a matter of age...

People who pick the likes of BErbatov and Ginola were probably too young to have really watched Gazza in a SPurs shirt, I also guess us who were very young when Gazza played for our club would pick him, Waddle or Lineker because we were too young to have seen Hoddle or Greaves and so on.

Even someone old enough to have seen them all would probably be bias and pick their favourite based on the time when they were young enough to still be captured by the magic football casts on a child with little else to concern themselves with in life.

So true and for that reason, in my opinion, the greatest player and greatest gentleman, ever to pull on a Spurs shirt.





Ladies and Gentlemen I give you.......





Pat Jennings :clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap:

He really was all that. Seeing him live was like nothing else. His little flick ons, sublime control of the ball and power when shooting. He was easily the most graceful player in the prem.

Pity he fucked it all up by leaving the we he did.

Paul Gascoigne for me. My absolute hero when I was a kid, I was so obsessed with everything about him, used to ask the barber for a "Gazza Cut", got my Gran to sew a number 8 onto the back of my very first Spurs shirt. Wanted to play Centre-Midfield and constantly practised free kicks in the back garden.

Legend.

 

[Mr-T]

Steve Perryman

 

[johnmc]

Dave Mackay - suspect that will be the choice of many old farts.

:up: that includes me.

First post for a good few months!

Despite being a fan throughout some desperately average years, and missing most of the best days of Spurs history I have to for the player who lit up some of the darkest moments at the lane - David Ginola. He was the reason WHL didn't have empty seats for a few bleak years, pure genius and a great bloke. I always wore number 14 for my team and despite being right footed always played on the left wing. He was total football.

Special mentions to Teddy, Keano, Ledley and Jurgen.

 

[BPR_U16]

Had a few favourites over the years as teams have evolved -

Martin Peters, Alan Gilzean, Pat Jennings, Chrissy Waddle, Ossie, Jurgen, Teddy, Gazza etc

but the embodiment of everything Tottenham still has to be Glenn Hoddle.

 

[striebs]

Glenn Hoddle , Chrissie Waddle , Paul Gascoigne for their outrageousness .

Steve Perryman , Gary Mabbut for their rock like presence .

Wish I had seen Greavsie live .

 

[AW?]

Hoddle. Closely followed by Gazza, then Ginola, then Teddy, then King, then who... erm maybe Sol Campbell?

Only Joking.

I'm going to get lambasted for this but, David Howells. He just had such a professional attitude. Wasn't the most gifted but was a true club man.

I was also really impressed with when he shaved his head in sympathy for his wife when she lost hers during cancer treatment. Shows that he was also a really decent bloke, although Gazza, Glen and Ginola were great players, but I doubt they would displayed a similar act of solidarity to another human being.

as a fan for over 40 years can only comment on players that ive seen ,we been lucky at our club even in some of the dark days weve always had a stand out player but no others stand out like hoddle

 

[whl_yid1982]

Got to be gazza for me he's a pure leg end and after watching him and Lineker in italia '90 at the age of 8 they made me become a spurs supporter.
