?Can’t take any team omitting Greaves or Hoddle seriously unless the author notes that they’re excluded because the author has restricted years or limited the team in some way.
I really can't do this.
I didn't really see the 60s side despite starting to follow Spurs in 1968 as we lived abroad.
I also have an unhealthy liking for all the Spurs sides between 1971 and 1984 , despite sone of them being shit, which skews my thinking. I did see Greaves in several testimonials though and he still knew where the net was.
A player like Alfie Conn would have thrived in the modern game but wasn't at Spurs long enough to get in a best 11.
The only 2 players i could say for definite that would be in ANY Spurs team are Hoddle and Perryman. Probably Jennings, Greaves and Kane.
So that's 5. Working on the other 6.

No Ledley? That aside that’s a boss front 6
It was really hard to keep Mabbutt and Perryman out — if only for their longevity and deep connection to the club.
Maybe should have included Modric (who has been a generational player at the worlds best club, Ballon D’Or Winner and is probably more talented than my midfield but I just don’t have the same affection for him as I do them and he never reached that level at Spurs.
From reading through this thread it’s made me remember as a club we are fucking massive and have such a history!

That I have watched
GK: Lloris
RB: Walker
CB: King
Cb: Vert
LB: toss up between Ziege and Rose
RW: Lennon
CM: Dembele
CM: Modric
LW: Bale (Ginola missing by a hair)
CAM: Eriksen
ST: Kane (Berba some distance away in 2nd)
Obviously I have heard about the exploits of Ardiles, Gazza, Villa and Hoddle off the old man but they were all before my time

Hard to leave out Gascoigne and Ginola especially as the latter is my favourite of all time !
Would have love to have seen Greaves live
As I say, I only saw him live in testimonials but he still had plenty of the old magic.
Excellent team. For me, Cyril Knowles shades Hughton and Maurice Norman (relying on my Dad here) and Mike England were better pure CBs than Mabbutt.
He was the business
Greased lightning over 25-50 yards
Rarely missed!
A true Spurs legend!
Your Dad is correct re Norman!
Going off players I’ve watched live to make it easier… and clearly when they playing at their best.
