Your 1 favourite Spurs Player of all Time

[Capocrimini]

Ledley King is my favourite.

Hard to pick between Moussa Dembele and Luka Modric as the best player I've seen play for us. The way both of them played football is everything I love about the game. Modric little turns, body feints, positioning and reading of the game was genius.

Moussa driving and bouncing of endless amount of players was so good. The instictnevness of his movement with the ball ?. The way he'd get the tackle in with ridiculous strength as well.

Bale, there a lots I have loved watching over the years Gazza, Modric, Ginola, King, Kane, Erikson etc but Bale was just out of the world his last 2 seasons with us before he left for Madrid. Pure joy watching him.

God..

 

[fingersinc]

God..

So many magical passes from him not to mention the goals

 

[Romulus]

man, I couldn't choose 1 out of my top 5. in no particular order

Kane, King, Modric, Bale, Ginola

 

[dtxspurs]

Christian Eriksen.

At the time of watching it was Ginola - I knew when watching him that he was special and he was doing things that no one else in a spurs shirt could. He singlehandedly saved us from relegation.

In hindsight, the player i miss the most but didnt realise how good he was at the time - Moussa Dembele.
Watching Dembele you can see that he has a world class ability - but there are a lot of world class players that have come and gone (Modric, Bale, Kane, King, Kilnsmann). The difference, I now realise, with Dembele is that I have not seen a world class player that could do what he could do with the ball, even if there were things he wasnt good at.
In terms of his strength on the ball, ability to ride tackles, evade the opposition and get us out of trouble his skill set was and still is unmatched by anyone in the world.

Gazza For me - such a free spirit - fat and no pace but strength skill and heart - loved him - sad thing is i doubt he would get into the top 8 premier league teams now with the obsession over formations and tactics - he made football fun

So many magical passes from him not to mention the goals

....and the crosses....

So when your idol (Glenn Hoddle) has a 2x ball auction for a round of golf at your home Course how much is it worth!!!!!!!!???????

 

[DenverSpur]

Jimmy Greaves because simply he was the best goal scorer ever. A genius at scoring goals.
A close second is Paul Gascoigne because he played with such joy and more than any other player I’ve seen made you feel he did what he did just for us, the supporters.
Being abroad for all of the 80’s I never had the pleasure of seeing Glen Hoddle. If I had I believe he would have been a contender.

 

[spursville]

Hoddle, Ardiles & Villa. Made me switch my allegiance from Notts Forest in 1980/81.

Same ... when man utd sold Stuart Pearson in 78 I fell out with them and the same three inspired me like never before

 

[Metalhead]

I think that it would have to be Gazza. He got us to the 91 cup final although the final itself turned out to be a team effort.

 

[Goobers]

My heart is full of Ledley but my teen years hero was Teddy.

 

[fecka]

Bale and it’s not even close. He was absolutely unplayable at his best and always felt like a Spurs man

All of the above. Dembele was a one-man wrecking machine. Who even comes close in todays age?

He really was one of a kind.

Paul Gascoigne.

Being a young lad, supporting Spurs and to have him arrive at our club was like Christmas everyday for a few seasons.
I couldn't believe what I was seeing! I had to buy all the VHS videos with him on them....and constantly rewind and watch how he nutmegged, did his tricks, play games with the opposition, his cheek with the referees...and obviously his goals and incrdible passes.
I rewound and rewound until that tape snapped. And every other one!

There was a constant electricity around the ground, every ground, because you simply couldn't predict what he was going to do next.
Neither could anyone else on his own team.
It was unbridled joy, thrills and spills - way before the days of mobiles and short attention spans.
He captivated us and held our interest for the entirety of a game. Every game.

When people talk about 'edge-of-your-seat' stuff, Gazza encapsulated that. I couldn't have been more intensely motivated to see every moment I could with him on the pitch. And these were the days before there was the opportunity to watch replays and re-runs of games. No Youtube or internet to see highlights.
So we had to scramble every chance we could get to watch his prowess.

I was simply in awe of him. I giggled with him. I laughed with him. And I wooped and cheered at every bit of audacious play.
Mesmerising. Boys own stuff. The unexpected. The flamboyant. Such enthusiasm. And that Gazza grin.

Paul Gascoigne raised the bar so high for all mavericks...that not many have exceeded it.

The Hod for me for the effortless skill, vision and entertainment, however I used to love the skill, flamboyance and cheek of Alfie Conn too

 

[Gassin's finest]

Gazza For me - such a free spirit - fat and no pace but strength skill and heart - loved him - sad thing is i doubt he would get into the top 8 premier league teams now with the obsession over formations and tactics - he made football fun

Maybe by the time he got to Rangers, but at Newcastle and Spurs? Far from it.
