    You missed an opportunity to endear yourself to the ten (or less) Winks fans in the fan base!

    I considered Lineker, and he was a great goal scorer without question, but he was the master poacher and I am not sure that as an all round footballer he offers anything that the forwards I selected wouldn't give me.

    Having read the other sqauds Ginola is the one I am most upset that I somehow missed he should be in there, but so should Martin Peters!

    Never took you as one to stick to instructions tbh.

    You've changed since you got that green badge. It's mellowed you. Gone soft.


    Also hell will freeze over before I drop Jermain Defoe from an all-time greatest squad.

    It's a device that does absolutely nothing all day then in one moment of brilliance organises your entire calendar, invests in strong stocks and orders the weekly shop.

    My starting XI would be the players I felt/feel the closest affinity to. Those who to my mind really 'got' being Spurs, a quality in desparately rare commodity nowadays...

    352

    Robinson
    King Dawson Jan
    Carr Sandro VDV Anderton Ginola
    Kane Defoe

    Can't wait for @Spurf to drop a squad with Viv Woodward, Tom Morris, Arthur Grimsdell and Jack Kirwan.

    Started supporting spurs as a 7 Yr old in 1974 but only really avidly followed every result from 1977 onwards.

    Keepers
    Clemence, Lloris, Aleksic

    Defenders
    Perryman, Walker, Alderwierald, Vertonghen, Hughton, Ekotto, Gough, Mabbutt, Roberts

    Midfielders
    Hoddle, Gascoigne, VDV, Bale, Dembele, Ardiles, Eriksen, Modric, Son

    Forwards
    Kane, Lineker, Berbatov, Defoe

    Roberts and Perryman could play as midfielders while Son and Bale could play as wide players or strikers.

    I have only picked players I saw play live so no Ginola or Klinsmann!

    Poor old Jan will be very busy down the left. Can't see the left winger tracking back much.
