There are a number of ex-players out there who continue to love the club years after they last turned out for us, with VDV an obvious recent example, but, honestly, has any man ever loved Tottenham as much as Micky Hazard?
There's an article on him on the BBC at the moment (http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/37320751) covering his unpaid management of Hadley FC, but two quotes really stand out, these being:
"I worship every moment I'm at White Hart Lane," he said. "When I became Hadley manager, I made it clear that if a fixture clashed with a Tottenham home game, then I'd be at Spurs."
"I donated my (FA Cup) medals to the Tottenham club dentist, who is a Spurs fanatic," he added. "His whole surgery is a shrine to Tottenham Hotspur."
Frankly, I think it truly wonderful that we mean so much to him so many years down the line and that, having found someone who loves Spurs as much as he did, he's given him his medals so he can enjoy them and share his joy with others.
Anyway, this thread isn't about Micky, as much as I love him (although any Micky stories are welcome), but about those players for whom playing for Spurs was the obvious highlight of their careers and who still love us no matter what. Special kudos points to any players who feel this way despite getting the odd bit of grief from the fans.
So who out there of our ex-players still bleeds blue and white and loves us as much as Micky?
