Does he rank as one of the two you'd pick as Spurs best ever strikers?
Would it be Sherringham - Linekar?
Best ever? No. Very good? Definitely.

Absolutely. That was pretty amazing.He also wasn’t one to play dirty, as in, I don’t think I remember him ever getting a yellow or red card in his quite long playing career.
Lineker. Common error.Does he rank as one of the two you'd pick as Spurs best ever strikers?

You mean chips?He's a bit of a tool these days tbh. Likes crisps as well.
Yeah the era comparison is always difficult. Players are far better athletes for example.Lineker. Common error.
It's hard to judge how players from that era would fit in the modern game. He lacked an aerial presence, by his own admission didn't like heading the ball. Yet still scored shed loads.
He was a master poacher and actually a good all round striker, aerial threat aside. One of the best we've had in my lifetime. But even the likes of Berbatov, was far more skilful. (On a slight digression, Robbie Keane of old would be my choice of players past, who would suit the moden game).
Not sure if that helps. Would I have the Lineker of old in the current team? Most definitely. Would I choose him over certain other strikers, given a time machine and pinch of salt? Possibly not.
Yeah with the speed of an Olympic sprinter, literally.Basically a goal hanger.
Hmmm, take this season out and Kane was getting close for sure.Lol no one comes even close to Jimmy Greaves
You must be my grandads ageLol no one comes even close to Jimmy Greaves
I don't know how old your grandad is and don't really care either, but I can tell you with certainty that Greaves was better than Sheringham AND Lineker. Comfortably.You must be my grandads age
But not better than BerbatovI don't know how old your grandad is and don't really care either, but I can tell you with certainty that Greaves was better than Sheringham AND Lineker. Comfortably.
No, crisps.You mean chips?
I've only seen him a couple of times talking shit on the odd YouTube clip, googled him coz I knew bugger all about him turns out he scored a shit load of goals for spurs.. there you go
Well, I'm 28, Australian, and only half on the wind up. I've heard of him of course, but not being English limits my knowledge base for the older playersNo, crisps.
I'm guessing you're either pretty young, overseas, new to Spurs, or on the wind up.
Lineker is arguably one of the most famous CF's to play the game.
And yes... definitely not a yid. You won't see him attending legends games etc...
I believe that's the default for most Aussie's I knowWell, I'm 28, Australian, and only half on the wind up. I've heard of him of course, but not being English limits my knowledge base for the older players
No doubt.I believe that's the default for most Aussie's I know
No doubt.
I'm glad you can admit Viduka was a better footballer than Linekar
Well you need to sort that out, because if you know your history, it’s enough to make your heart go…..Well, I'm 28, Australian, and only half on the wind up. I've heard of him of course, but not being English limits my knowledge base for the older players
