I was assessing him as a goalkeeper.

SUPPORT any club, Jesus.
I think the best keeper we've had in terms of the impact he had on the defence and the overall composure of the team was Brad Friedel. Lots of keepers can flatter to deceive with great reflex saves but not many of them can stop a defence from running around like headless chickens. The best keeper is a keeper who doesn't have to make a save because he's already done his job.
For the 11/12 season, Brad was a rock. I've never felt that kind of stability from Lloris.

Like I said as a keeper
Average
As a responsible human being?
Cunt!
Or do you condone drinking driving?
Hadnt we conceeded 5 goals by that point? Lol
Hugo has been a good servant to the club but i shall not remember him fondly in the years ahead.
On his day one of the best shot stoppers in the world but you would have to go back to 5+ years ago to see any real consistency in his Spurs performances.
Good luck in Saudi pal but good riddance to you too.
I think your view of Lloris as a goalkeeper may be (understandably) influenced by other things. so let's leave it.
.. unfortunate for him the years have caught up with him... also not helped by our piss poor defence!! . For his consistency and longevity he has to go down as one of our top keepers... For me... Jennings. Clemence then Hugo... Top boy... Oh and Brad wasn't far behind...
Nah that loss was 100% down to our dumb arse manager changing to a back four that we hadnt started with for ??? Seasons.. pep said drop3 % and you'll be found out in the prem... That was our 3 %. funny about 3 weeks ish later my home town teams manager did exactly the same thing! and they went four nil down in about 20 ish mins....

I'd say he's earned his legend status to be honest.
Lloris is not even close to being a legend.
I really liked Brad. Never let us down.
Friedel rarely had to make a save because he never left his line - he never made errors because he never claimed responsibility for anything. Kaboul in particular did a lot of heavy lifting in terms of headers and clearances in the box. It's the illusion of being safe. We conceded 41 goals which whilst pretty decent, isn't spectacular. Friedel was the epitome of Low risk, low reward IMO. He didn't save anything he wasn't supposed to either.
Give me a keeper who is pro-active and pushes the defensive line team higher up the pitch any day, even if a few ricks happen, the net benefit is worth it to me.
The best season I've seen from a Spurs keeper is still Gomes in 2009/10. 31. games, 26 conceded, kept the errors to a minimum, saved multiple pens, saved stuff he had no right saving. People remember his many bloopers from the seasons either side of that, but for that one season, he was incredible.

Legends don’t get in a car pissed and then drive it!!
We should have got rid of him then but oh no he kept the captaincy ffs
Apart from that he was a decent keeper and shot stopper
Distribution poor and positioning also poor
Neil Sullivan was voted player of the season by the supporters.
Hoddle got him off the wage bill for Levy and replaced him with Kasey Keller.
Gazza not a legend then? Van der Vaart? Ledley King?
All did stupid stuff off the pitch at least once, does that take away from their legend status as players?
wow, your standards must be incredibly high, Lloris has been with us for 10 years, he deserves legendary status surely?
