    Hoddle
    Ardiles
    Kane
    Bale
    Perryman (was seriously under estimated imho)

    Picked players I saw play in person and who delivered for 3 years or more.

    Was hard to leave out Sheringham

    In all seriousness:

    Modric
    Dembele
    Kane
    Bale
    King

    It’s not so much recency bias but more that I can only pick players I watched for a decent amount of time.

    So hard to pick just 5 anyone on any of the above lists could be included without any argument so these are my favourites probably not entirely in keeping with PS original mission statement!

    Gascoigne
    Hoddle
    Waddle
    Ginola
    Chivers

    One thing that isn't a surprise is the paucity of defenders in the list. I think that explains why we rarely challenge for the league.

    1. It does explain why we were so often a joy to watch in attack

    2. I had high hopes of a Robbo / Gough combo in 1986 (but twas not to be :( ) ...
