Greatest Ever Spurs XI

[talkshowhost86]

I can only comment on who played for spurs in my lifetime. I'll probably get WTF?!!! for Corluka and Assou-Ekotto but for a couple of seasons there, they were the best two full backs I have seen in terms of their linkup with other players.

Lloris

Corluka King Campbell Assou-Ekotto

Ginola Gascoigne Modric Bale

Berbatov Klinsmann​

From a similar timeframe I'd largely agree with that, although for me Sheringham possibly just edges it over Berbatov.

I'd possibly go with Carr over Corluka as well as I think he had more good games for us than Charlie.

 

[Bobbins]

Kane
Kane - Kane - Kane
Kane - Kane - Kane - Kane - Kane
Kane - Kane​

All aboard the Kane Plane!

By the way I think lots of people are being very generous to Stephen Clemence in this thread.

I was always a big Corluka fan, he put in some more than solid shifts at RB for us!

 

[Gassin's finest]

Luckily I can go from '86:

Lloris
Perryman -- Mabbutt -- King -- Hughton
Waddle -- Hoddle -- Gascoigne -- Ginola
Lineker -- Berbatov

Subs: Thorstvedt, Roberts, Modric, Bale, Van Der Vaart, Sheringham, Keane​

 

[max cady]

For me being a 60's child I remember a lot of the good times. For me it has to be

Jennings
Perryman King Mabbutt Knowles

Jones Blanchflower Hoddle Mackay
Greaves Smith

Subs: Clemence, England, Mullery, Lineker, Chivers Waddle & Gazza

 

[HW61]

Jennings

Perryman, England, King, Knowles

Mackay

Gascogne Hoddle Bale

Greaves Klinsmann

Subs: Lloris, Gough, Ardiles, White, Mabbutt, Sherringham, Jones.

 

[VegasII]

Ugh. Fan since 1991.

50/50 split between good and shite.

 

[GMI]

Since 1979, and in an attempt to create a team that might actually work:

--------------------Clemence------------------------

Perryman------King--------Campbell-----Hughton

---------------------Popesku------------------------

-------------Gazza----------Hoddle-----------------

Bale--------------------------------------------Ginola

--------------------Klinsman--------------------------

Subs: Lloris, Roberts, Modric, Ardiles, Carrick, Waddle, Lineker


...And a pre '87 Pleaty is the boss. COYS

 

[Arnoldtoo]

Jennings

Perryman, England, King, Knowles

Mackay

Gascogne Hoddle Bale

Greaves Klinsmann

Subs: Lloris, Gough, Ardiles, White, Mabbutt, Sherringham, Jones.

Nice. Mackay's going to have to get through a lot of work!

 

[goughie1966]

Jennings

Perryman, England, King, Knowles

Mackay

Gascogne Hoddle Bale

Greaves Klinsmann

Subs: Lloris, Gough, Ardiles, White, Mabbutt, Sherringham, Jones.

Modric doesn't even make the bench?

 

[km1stry]

Only can remember from 2000 onwards so:

Lloris
Walker - King - Woodgate - Vertonghen (because fuck Ekotto)
van der Vaart - Davids - Modric - Bale
Keane - Berbatov
​

But by the end of the year:

Kane
Kane - Kane - Kane
Kane - Kane - Kane - Kane - Kane
Kane - Kane​

But by the end of the year:

Lloris
Kane - Kane - Kane
Kane - Kane - Eriksen - Kane - Kane
Kane - Kane​

 

[sim0n]

Modric doesn't even make the bench?

nope...

 

[southlondonyiddo]

Since 1975 with my own eyes

Jennings

Carr
Rsol
King
Houghton

Modric
Gazza
Hoddle
Bale

Klinsmann
Berbatov

Subs: Lloris.Perryman.Gough.Roberts.Carrick.Lineker. Sherringham

Special mention for Galvin, Waddle, Ossie & Ricky, Crooks & Archibald etc etc

I'm glad I didn't have to try and include Mackay, Jones, Blanchflower, White, Smith, Greaves, Duquemin, Dimmock etc etc

 

[jondesouza]

Since 1980 (when I started following us)

Clemence

D. Thomas King Gough Hughton

Anderton Gazza Roberts Hoddle Waddle

C. Allen
​

Subs: Lloris, Mabbutt, Perryman, Ardiles, Bale, Sheringham, Lineker

Felt strange leaving out Modric, Ginola, Klinsmann and others but I've gone for a 4-5-1 (as we ripped it up playing that in 86-87) and there was no space for a number of players I've loved over the years.

 

[tototoner]

Surprised The Ghost isn't getting more mentions

Mine would be

Jennings
Perryman - King - Campbell -Knowles
Blanchflower- Gascoigne - Mackay
John White- Greaves - Bale

 

[HW61]

Modric doesn't even make the bench?

Nope. Ossie was simply better and over a longer period. I watched a lot of both. I put White in because according to my dad he was like hoddle but was a long distance runner and lasted 90 minutes. Modric was fabulous in his final 2 years. Just my opinion.

 

[HW61]

Nice. Mackay's going to have to get through a lot of work!

I know but I enjoyed myself writing it.

I did love Archi. Bit of a berba with aggression and bite.

 

[adamsky]

From players that I have seen first hand;

Lloris

Walker C******l King Ekotto


Modric Carrick

Sheringham

Bale Ginola

Klinsmann

Subs
Robinson
Woodgate
Dawson
VDV
Anderton
Berbatov
Keane

I did actually see Lineker, Gazza and Waddle but it was probably just before my time to really appreciate them

 

[RuskyM]

But by the end of the year:

Lloris
Kane - Kane - Kane
Kane - Kane - Eriksen - Kane - Kane
Kane - Kane​

This is basically treason.
