With the football on hold at the moment, we’ve been thinking about who gets in Tottenham’s all-time XI.

Yesterday we completed our back four. Today we’re choosing the first of three midfielders.

Here are the nominees …


3rd – Chris Waddle

Mercurial, visionary, genius – Chris Waddle was all of these things but his best years came a bit later at Marseille so he doesn’t quite get into this best ever XI.

2nd – Cliff Jones

Before Gareth Bale there was Cliff Jones, the original Welsh wizard. A tricky winger who starred for Spurs over 10 years between 1958 and 1968.

And the winner is … Glenn Hoddle

There’s an argument to say that Glenn Hoddle is the best technical player English football has ever produced. Just a cursory glance at his finest moments on Youtube will tell you that he deserves a place in this side.


Here’s how the team is looking so far …

GK: Pat Jennings RB: Sol Campbell LB: Gary Mabbutt CB: Mike England CB: Ledley King CM: Glenn Hoddle

Check back tomorrow when we will be choosing the second midfielder!
