Tottenham's best ever XI ... The team in full 💂‍♀️ | OneFootball

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

We are now proud to reveal the team in full …

Goalkeeper – Pat Jennings

Simply the best there has ever been at Tottenham.

Footballer of the Year on two separate occasion – the only goalkeeper to ever achieve such a feat – Jennings won five trophies during his decade-long spell at Spurs.

If you want to know just how good Jennings was for Spurs, the Northern Ireland international left to join Arsenal and yet still the White Hart Lane faithful sing his name.

Right-back – Sol Campbell

A controversial choice perhaps but there’s no getting around the fact that Campbell was awe-inspiring during his nine years at Spurs.

The defender was a true force of nature, who could dance past you with the ball at his feet or simply use his pace and power to send you flying.

A properly world class defender who could operate anywhere along the backline.

Let’s just try and forget his exit, shall we?

Centre-back – Mike England

A proper old-fashioned centre-half who spent nine years at Tottenham winning the 1972 Uefa Cup and at 19 becoming the youngest ever captain of Wales.

Centre-back – Ledley King

Chronic knee injuries plagued his career but even despite that King has gone down in Tottenham history as one of their legends. A modern day defender who really could do it all.

Left-back – 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).

Midfield – 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.

Midfield – Dave Mackay

Arguably Tottenham’s best ever player. MacKay was as good a midfielder as there has ever been in English football and played a major part in four of Tottenham’s most famous trophy wins.

He was, as coach Bill Nicholson said, the “heartbeat” of the team.

Midfield – Danny Blanchflower

It wouldn’t be a best ever Tottenham XI without the legendary Danny Blanchflower.

Renowned as a world class outside ride, Blanchflower played 384 times for Tottenham between 1954 and 1964, with his most famous moment coming in 1960 when he captained the side as they won their opening 11 First Division games of the season – still a record.

They then beat Leicester City to win the FA Cup, becoming the first team in the 20th century to win the League and Cup double, not achieved since Aston Villa in 1897.

Forward – Jimmy Greaves

Perhaps the greatest goalscorer English football has ever produced.

Jimmy Greaves never quite got the recognition he deserved on account of him missing out on England’s World Cup triumph in 1966.

But for an idea of just how good he was, both Tottenham and Chelsea included him in their ‘Team of the Century’ back in 2000.

Greaves would only win three trophies during his nine-year stay in north London but the impact he made on the game was immeasurable.

Forward – Gary Lineker

One of English football’s true greats who became a legend at three separate clubs.

Gary Lineker’s finest period came at Tottenham where he netted 67 League goals in 105 appearances.

His FA Cup semi-final performance against Arsenal in 1991 was one of the competition’s very best, with Lineker scoring twice in a 3-1 win.

Spurs would end a 10-year wait for a trophy in the final as they beat Brian Clough’s Nottingham Forest 2-1.

Forward – Harry Kane

Long-regarded as a ‘one season wonder’ – remember that?

Harry Kane has grown into one of Europe’s deadliest marksman and a true English footballing great.

Despite a lack of trophies so far, Kane has been a consistent presence near the top of the Premier League goalscoring charts since his debut in 2009 and has so far netted 136 goals for the north London side.

Should he stay in England, he could be the only striker to get anywhere near Alan Shearer’s league record tally of 260.
