And like Anderton he owes the club a fortune in stolen injury wages

Hard to argue with any of that.
I suppose we just understand the topic of the thread differently?
hmmm.... care to add Jimmy Greaves and Glenn Hoddle to the list?For what it's worth, (and I THINK the point of this thread) my suggestion would be Vinny Samways... a tidy little player, and 'one of our own' etc etc... but I just never warmed to him!
Carrick and Anderton were both superb(the latter when fit) .Both could split a defence with a pass.
But the point is a player who was good but that you still didn't like, Ade epitomises that for me
Not how I remember it.
I remember Gazza absolutely changing games with a flash or two brilliance. He could decide how a game went with just 20 mins of him in top gear. There were times he the only thing worth the entrance money.
football was different, less was expected from a playmaker.
Waddle was great but his workload was significantly lower than a modern winger. Hoddle was one of Europe's best but wasn't mobile enough for modern game...
Nayin from the half way line .
We all liked but just lacking that final ingredient.
Always a hero for that wonder goal against the Arse.

I'm 35. I was a supporter in the Gazza years, even a mascot once, but I was too young to be critical of how players contributed overall.
So hands up who else feels old right now?
And a lovely guy
Easily the most exciting and talented footballer I have seen in a spurs shirt.
Was playing with injuries as well in the 91 cup run and was part of a very average spurs squad at the time.
Not one player in our current squad compares, such a shame he got injured and had his off field issues, for me he is up with the world's best, saw him tore so many teams apart single handed in a spurs shirt.
Fair point, but to suggest Gazza wasn't a game changer is insane.
Gazza, Linekar, Mabs, Walsh, Howells, Paul Allen, Stewart, Erik The Viking... A promising young Walker, Barmby & Edinburgh...
Granted we had a few stinkers, but i loved that side... Last time i got to genuinely say that before the dark times.
He was, that was the whole point of a playmaker back then.
Tbh, the threads all over the shop... Seems like its been interpreted a number of diff ways.
Lucas Moura could be in danger of turning into one , still have high hopes he won't tho.
Defoe definitely.
The OP is very vague. It mentions like/rate. Thread title says "but made no difference." Its really down to your interpretation. This whole thing is a shambles, tbh.
I've chosen to interpret it as made no difference to the team/results. Otherwise Ade was a lazy player everyone soured on. Jenas and Bentley fall into the same sort of more talent than brains/spirit category.
As far as your interpretation of the discussion I'd have to put Crouch on the list for me. He had some good times at Spurs but I never really warmed to him. Maybe it was his overall awkwardness, or that it always felt like Spurs deserved more and were above his level.
