Good shortlist. I'd add Bale and Mabbsie for just being a good bloke

Mabbs is in a different class. I'm not sure I'd count him as a favourite for me but he's my "most respected" by a mile.

Bale doesn't make the list until he comes back next year and wins us the CL :p

Bale. Seeing him go from kid who couldn't win with us to freak of nature who everytime he got the ball you didn't know if he was gonna sprint 90 yards and smash one in the corner or get the ball 30 yards out and fling one in the top corner. To his return where even though he lost his pace he still was just as deadly on the ball in the box. Proper special player, hope we can get him back one last time at the end of his Madrid contract just to have someone like him in the squad as he always = goals

My word what a difficult question, so many great players out there from my 40 years (oh my goodness I am ancient ) as a spur. But just because I believe that he truly loved the game and seemed to realise that it was about the fans above all else, I have to go with VDV.

Never saw Greaves play for us live, so have to say Hoddle due to longevity just ahead of Gazza.

Growing up it was Ginola and Anderton for the sheer reason that they were not completely shite and the side was. I clung to them as kids.

from ages of 18-34 it was to be bale. The Inter Hatrick season was incredible. he was a one-tricky pony of 'bulldozing forward in a straight line with the ball'. but you simply couldn't stop it. Messi aside, i've never seen a player simply decide they were going to score, and repeatedly do it. No build up, or assist necessary - he simply went. The season after that (his final one), he was unplayable. Pure excitement to see him play.

Maybe not number 1 but right near the top - Ledley King. Would probably have walked it though without the injuries.

There are two players that would get me off my seat, even if they received the ball on the edge of our penalty box; Ginola and Bale. I respect also players that maximised the talent they had, such as Dawson.

But there can only be one favourite. Someone who had the gall, the sheer nerve to keep turning up to training; to keep going to White Hart Lane every other Saturday with his boots in the back of his car on the off chance we were short, despite him being a builder & decorator and not a footballer. Thankyou for your service, Gary Doherty (see also Matt Doherty, Gary's little brother, who is carrying on the family trade).
