Mostly don’t give 2 shites about us no matter what they say or how much they touch the crest.
maybe 50 years ago with local lads where their father took them to matches and the pub. Part for Winks I doubt any of them really cares for us here.
I reckon H loves the club and cares about the fans; obviously he doesn't love the club as much as we do and clearly it's not to the extent that he will stay with us no matter what, but I think he has taken Spurs into his heart, I also reckon Sonny and any player who hasn't gone through a bad period in which they will be attacked on the internet would probably have positive feelings towards the fans. There's really loving the fans, which is rare, and then there is having a positive feeling towards the club and fans, which is more common.

The two players in recent eras who I think really loved the fans and had a real affinity for the club were Paul Robinson and Michael Dawson. I haven't met either of them personally but this is based on quite a few accounts of people who have and their general attitude on the pitch and in interviews etc. Those two remain my favourite players of my time in spite of them not being top in terms of ability.

How do you see a top professional football player's perception of his team's fans ?. Are we regarded as a necessary burden to be tolerated and appeased in order to keep the club's image intact or do you think they regard us with true appreciation and a genuine respect for what being a supporter entails ?.

I also met John Gorman in a pub whilst he was part of Glenn Hoddles entourage and he was easy to talk to, and he said that he really missed the playing in front of a fanatical crowd, and the interaction with the fans. He also spoke of Hoddles love for the club, and his single minded approach to getting the right message across as to how football should be played.
