SPURS LEGEND
Agreed but entertaining off the ball incidents aside, he's bang average and a bit of a problem.
You forgot Martial as well btw.
You don't dare send off Lamela.
True legends are Greaves Gazza Hoddle Kane etc
But a fit Lamela would be one of the first names on the team sheet
Especially against the Scum!
Cos he's never done anything wrong. If some clumsy gooner gets his hand caught under Coco's studs whilst he's going for a casual evening stroll, how is that his fault.
He did score some important goals, but you're right, he wasn't consistent. I started following Spurs the year before he joined and I never really understood why people called him 'super pav'. He just didn't seem exceptional. I understand affection for players, so maybe it's just that. I love Lamela, but he's hardly prolific. I call him him the Llama, though, which seems fair.

My vote would go to Aaron Lennon. He was with us for ages, gave us width and pace, scored some mint goals, made the CL sparkle with Crouch (lol) and left with a grimace, which we laughed about. He deserved better.
Note: I'm aware he sucked at crosses. But... but... pace! We had time to get up the pitch and watch his cross.

Would put Hugo there too. His time at us is extremely underrated.
He’s been good for us but keeper wise I will always choose Pat Jennings
Never ceases to suprise me the outright abuse some players receive from certain quarters.... Look no further than the threads for the likes of Dier, Davies, Winks, Lucas (and others)...... No grasp of the possibility that players can improve/refind form regardless of how many examples there are to the contrary........ It's shameful really.
Lennon was my favourite player at that time. Yes his crosses were wasteful but he scared the life out of the opposition with his speed. He did disappoint in one match when he went off injured towards the end of a match when we had used al our subs much to Redknapps annoyance. However I think most supporters appreciated him and would pick him in their first 11. Would not get in the team now which shows how far we have come.
Lennon was synonymous with the sound of the seats hitting the back of the row as everyone in the stadium stood up when he got the ball on the wing. He was class for us for years even if he wasn't elite. As a kid going to spurs he was the most exciting player to watch
That winner at home on November 5th 2006 agaisnt the chavs is still in my top 5 spurs moments

Agreed. I would even go so far as to say that most players are disrespected. If someone is not one of the best in their position in the league/world at any given time, they are "shit" or similar. I have been guilty of this myself.
But if you consider how many very talented young footballers train really fucking hard only to find themselves not breaking through at a professional level, or "merely" making it in league two, league one, the championship or for a lower premier league side, or merely making iy in any team below the top 20 in the world, you might get an idea how ridiculously narrow the path to becoming a player for Spurs really is. Obviously, they are pretty fucking far from bad.
Even making it as a professional for Mansfield Town is quite exceptional and deservant of credit and respect.
