I think he showed how average he was when he joined that "massive" club Newcastle
Weren't United after him when he played for us? He was a top RB at Spurs and granted, average at the Barcodes.
Yup, gotta say it annoyed me the way he ditched us. Though he was one of my favourite players while he was here.
You make a good point. He was clever, but slow, and didn't seen very hungry to me.
As for Carr, I think he lived off the Man U goal for too long. I had his autograph on the back of a membership form once but I've lost it. Gutted. ;-)
I'm going to give you all the benefit of the doubt and assume you guys forgot about this man:
Still, they started the long slide to obscurity just as he went there, whereas we got Santini in and started our slow back from mediocrity. So he got his. In spades. Like yourself, I did like him as a player though.
That was the thing people always pointed at. His lack of pace, yet he was very rarely caught napping because he read the game extremely well.
He was a defender, and a solid one.
Its no surprise that Lennon played his best footballer when Charlie was behind him. Walker doesnt have the brains or discipline to release Lennon when he has enough space to cause carnage. Walker will just run into that space instead.
I think Corluka being slow was a good thing. He didnt try and dribble out like BAE, and he created alot of attacks down the wing with sensible passing.
I'm utterly basing mine on love, I love the flawed genius;
Gomes
Chimbonda. Woodgate. King. B.A.E.
Dembele. Modric.
V.D.V.
Lennon. Bale.
Berbatov.
(Granted that is a bit Carling Cupie)

He was fantastic under graham. Which was clearly nothing to do with the chalk boned gooner cunt.
He was great under the gooner cunt, once that cunt went he became average again.

Apart from the Sponsor (and weird Baseball shirt 3/4 length sleeves) ...THAT is a quality Classic Spurs kit!
For those of us that are a wee bit more...portly....those shirts were fucking horrible.I looked like a fat bird from croydon squeezed into white leggings when i had a krappa shirt)
(coming from croydon, i can confirm that fat birds in white leggings and crop tops are fairly common round here. really quite mesmeric, watching them waddle from Primark to McDonalds)
I'd go for:
-------------- Lloris --------------
Carr --- King --- Vertonghen --- BAE
Lennon -- Modric --- Carrick -- Bale
----------------- VdV ---------------
-------------- Barbatov -------------
Subs/2nd XI:
Robinson
Walker
Dawson
Campbell (are we allowed him?)
Davids
Sandro
Dembele
Ginola
Anderton
Sheringham
Keane
...and now I want to cry a little!
