Tottenham's best ever XI ... The left-back 🤛 | OneFootball

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

Today we’re choosing the left-back.

Here are the nominees …

3rd – Cyril Knowles

402 appearances over 12 years between 1964 and 1976, five trophies and countless match-winning tackles, Cyril Knowles was and is a genuine Tottenham legend.

2nd – Ron Henry

Part of that amazing Double-winning side, Henry was a one-club man who played for Tottenham in a 14-year career that came to an end in 1966.

And the winner is … Gary Mabbutt

Not only did he play 600 matches for Spurs in 16 seasons, Mabbott also battled through diabetes, major facial reconstruction surgery and a broken leg. He helped Tottenham bring home the Uefa Cup in 1984 and the FA Cup in 1991 (as captain).

Here’s how the team is looking so far …

GK: Pat Jennings RB: Sol Campbell LB: Gary Mabbutt

Check back tomorrow and Monday when we will be choosing Tottenham’s greatest ever … centre-backs.
