Shock omission for Bale but to be fair my two forwards had decent careers?
Could have put him at left wing but id push back for Daveeeeed so has to be him, sorry.
Honourable mentions for Robinson, Woodgate, Lennon, Berbatov, Sheringham, Bale, Modric, Davids, Vertonghen

this is hard, but will give it a go, going to only include players that I have seen live and that I really l loved (so no space for anyone who did the dirty on us). By the way, I don't know my left from right so may get the full backs/wingers a bit mixed up
Pat Jennings (best keeper I have ever seen)
Stevie P (just because I love him ... have I mentioned that before?)
Ledley King (best defender I have seen, bar none)
Gary Mabbutt (versatile to boot)
Cyril Knowles (sheer entertainment value)
Daveed Ginola (sex on legs and not a bad footballer either)
Glen Hoddle (how you can have a best Spurs XI without him is beyond me)
Gazza ( he nearly won the FA Cup on his own in '91 and for that goal against Le Scum at Wembley)
Gareth Bale (not sure where he's going to fit in but how can I leave him out?)
Jimmy Greaves (a scoring machine - how we could do with him now!)
Martin Chivers (another great goal scorer)
Bench: Eric the Viking, Ossie, Ricky Villa, Nayim (for THAT goal, even if he wasn't playing for us at the time), Alan Gilzean, Jan, Jan, Super Jan
Now how about the Worst Spurs X1?????????????

Or rather your lack of it.
Saw my first Spurs game way back in 1969, so a fair few favourites to choose from. Definitely not the team I would have picked if it had been the best XI.
Paul Robinson - Haven't seen a keeper with a better rapport with, and appreciation of Spurs fans.
Steve Perryman (capt) - My favourite Spurs player of all time and a gentleman with it.
Graham Roberts - Would run through brick walls for Spurs. And he tackled Charlie Nicholas so hard once, that Nicholas ended up in the crowd.
Ledley King - Enough said.
Chris Hughton - Classy player, classy bloke.
David Ginola - Great player, gave us so much joy in that era of pain.
Sandro - 100% Spurs machine.
Alfie Conn - Just for his hair and moustache. And the slogan of the wall outside the East Stand "Alfie Conn is God" painted in white paint. It was there for years.
Gareth Bale - For the pleasure and hope he has given us.
Chris Jones - Average striker who didn't score many goals, but he always gave 100%. And just when he got a run in the side & scored a few goals, he would get injured and have to battle his way back again.
Jurgen Klinsmann - The best striker I have seen at Spurs (although Greaves was still there when I first started going, he was past his best).
Subs
Erik Thorsvedt - I caught one of his gloves that he threw into the crowd once. And somebody behind me snatched it out of my hand.
Benoit Assou-Ekotto - For the LOLs.
Gary Mabbutt - 100% Spurs and for being such a great bloke. And playing at the level he did despite his diabetes.
Glenn Hoddle - A thing of beauty.
Paul Gascoigne - For the laughter, the skill and the memory of getting us to the FA Cup final almost single handedly in '91. I remember seeing him score a back-heeled volley from about 30 yards in a pre-match warm up vs Wimbledon. The crowd in the stadium at the time, just a few thousand gave him a standing ovation for it.
Tony Galvin - Lovely left winger and a real sly, dirty bastard too.
Dimitar Berbatov - There, I've said it.
Paul Robinson - Haven't seen a keeper with a better rapport with, and appreciation of Spurs fans.
Steve Perryman (capt) - My favourite Spurs player of all time and a gentleman with it.

How any right minded person can have pavlyuchenko in a spurs XI is beyond me.

I don't care that my first-choice midfield might get over-run, they've enough quality to keep the ball for 90 minutes so that the opposition wouldn't even get a chance to overrun us... so Suck on that clogger fans!!
