I voted for Skipp.
Not because he was the best player - he wasn't. But because he is 18, still has to wear black socks in training, and he was thrust into an unfamiliar spot, in a title race, in a must-win match - and he did not screw it up. I admire what it takes for him to turn-up in that situation - knowing that the club are under pressure with injuries in the midfield - and he acquitted himself well.
He may never be a star for Spurs - but today - he held his own when we really needed it.
