Blimey, when you think about it, there are plenty...
Having started watching us (live) in 1981, I'll go for Hoddle (as my '80s/all-time) and add Mabbutt for my '80s-'90s bridging gap... then probably Ginola for the '90s and King as my '90s-'00s bridging gap... of the Current team, has to be Rafa... the boy oozes class.
I've just realised, I clearly have a 'type'!!!

Ginola was just such a bright shining light in such bad times that it has to be him
This is a very difficult question. Mabbutt was and is such a fantastic ambassador for the Club and an underrated player.
Ginola, Waddle, Hoddle, Gascoigne, Teddy and Klinsmann, Rafa are all associated with what a brilliant ethos the club has had and maintained. Each of them are ranked as players I will always love.
Ledley King - I wonder if we would still have him but for his injuries. Such an exemplary player. Imperious and devastatingly quick prior to injury....imperious and tremendously inspirational after...
I always loved Erik Thorstvedt
But my favourite Spurs player of all time, strangely is Paul Robinson - I loved the rapport with the crowd, how he always loves coming back to the Lane and despite going off the boil was an excellent goalkeeper.
It isn't Rohan Ricketts.

Hoddle, really was the reason we won the Cup in 81, my first big Spurs memory
Gazza was my first love as a young'en, then came along a man called King who swept me off my feet though I have always had a longing for an older gent called Hoddle.
Hoddle, Ginola and Gazza.
