Cult Heroes

[Nine while nine]

Every club has one, according to this article.

Although, reading the Top Ten, we actually have two: The Ginger Pele (for the lost art of trying your bloody best) and Dimitar 'the epitome of footballing cool' Berbatov.

And then reading the top comment beneath it, we actually have another two who could fit the Doherty criteria (Freund and Teemu), whereas I would say that my 'too cool for school' choice would be the one and only Steeeeeeeed.

So, who's your Tottenham cult hero and why?


P.S. The line about Doherty that "he could play in both central defence or as a striker... and joyfully didn't appear to change his style in any way to account for the nuances of these very different roles" absolutely slayed me.

 

[TaoistMonkey]

Freund for obvious reason. Hero on the field.

 

[mpickard2087]

Dafuq.

 

[Rout-Ledge]

Robbo, Dawson, Freund.

I had hopes up for Holtby, alas.

 

[Gassin's finest]

David Howells

 

[Blackcanary]

Aw, I remember seeing Doherty play for us in an XI Match again Chesham. For possibly the first and only time in his career he was the best player on the pitch.

 

[tiger666]

Darren Anderton

 

[JerryGarcia]

I always liked Steffen Iversen but I'm still waiting for him to become our 20 goal per season star striker.

 

[L-man]

Paulinho. He gives me hope that I can still make it professionally

 

[The Spurs Lad]

Right now it's Holtby, Assou-Ekotto, Sandro or Dawson. Love a player with fight and passion.

 

[Mouse!]

Lennon.

Some day I hope to have a job where I do fuck all for 5 years, whilst picking up 70 grand a week for my efforts, or lack thereof.

He's my idol.

 

[CornerPinDreamer]

Ledley...

/Thread

 

[King of Otters]

Stephane Dalmat for me. A brief glimmer of light in an otherwise dark period.

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

Sandro from recent times, and I believe Gordon Durie from when I was a kid.

 

[whitelanefever]

Tony Galvin.. he looked like he was about to collapse but would just keep on running
Walker of current squad, never short of effort

 

[SargeantMeatCurtains]

Hossam Ghaly.

Never seen a guy play for the shirt more than him.

 

[sunnydelight786]

Atouba, stepovers galore in our own 18 yard box

 

[Reclamation Project]

Paul Allen
Erik Thorstvedt

 

[Hoddle&Waddle]

Taricco was one of mine, loved him. I suppose you could say Vlad currently.

It's still a short thread with mainly rather recent names, yet still a bunch of worthy names. Guess we've been blessed on this department with very different kind of cult heroes.
