I mostly agree with the OP, but a couple of obvious omissions:
Klinsmann - Instigated a loan move so he could return to save us from relegation.
Anderton - I think most people forget / never appreciated just how good he was. Could have moved on to win title with Man Utd (like Teddy did), but stuck with us through the gruelling 90s (when even qualifying for Europa Conference League would have been an exciting achievement for us).
Anderton was my favourite player, then King took over.Anderton was my favourite player growing up as a Spurs fan in the 90s. He was a great player for us. I'd have him on my legends list for sure if it's purely a subjective sort of thing. I think he still has the record for most premier league appearances for us, although it looks like he's soon to be overtaken by Hugo.
I'd also have Hugo down as a legend as well.
He probably deserves a place on the list, due to his appearances and goals. However, he did leave for United and I always felt he only returned once he knew he couldn't cut it at a 'big club' anymore (was still happy to have him back though!). That and some of his odd comments in the media etc. If he talked about us like VDV does then that would be very different...Would surely have Teddy on that list although he has said a few strange things in the media against us at times.
Can I put forward BMJ?
You could also put Dawson in the first category (just about), for helping us win the League Cup.For me - to be a "Club Legend" you need at least one of two things:
1. You won something for the club
2. Longevity - you played for the badge for a long time.
I'd put Dawson in the later category, even if he was not a "great" player.
I would not put some of the "great" talents as club legends if they were here for a short time, or never won anything (or at least important games).
Best thing my ex-wife ever did for me was get a t-shirt printed saying "I love Martin Jol..." on the front and "... and Martin Jol loves me" on the back.Definitely! He made it fun for us to watch Spurs again!
