Crouch! Think he'd be hilarious on a night out. That pic of him hanging out of the sunroof of a taxi always cracks me up
I got smashed with Ledley at a close friends wedding about 3 years back. Good bloke and absolutely loves his Spurs.

Back in the day there used to be a Spurs supporters player of the year dinner and dance, I went for a few years.
The last one I went to Eric the Viking won player of the year and it was a cracking night. Every table had a player sitting at it, apart from our table, we had the secrectary of the club at ours.
Anyway at the end of the evening we had an opportunity to have photos taken with all the players.
I had a good chat with Paul Stewart and Paul Walsh at the bar, nice blokes as it goes. Gazza was there and was very funny.
The highlight for me was chatting to Bill Nicholson and having my picture taken with him.
As there wasn't a player at our table the secretary offered me tickets to the players lounge to use a a future game. I thought he was pulling my leg and we had a lot of funny banter over it.
But fair play to the fella, he kept his word and he sent me tickets to use after a Boxing Day fixture v Millwall.
It a cracking experience to go in the players lounge, most of the players popped in for a post match pint and a chat with the oppo players.
Star of the show........Gazza! He was hyper active and as funny as hell, he ran round the other side of the bar and pulled pints and served everyone their drinks! He was laughing and joking with everyone and everyone enjoyed it, I know I did.

Not that I don't love Hugo, and don't really want to start WW3, but the goalie in that picture should be either Big Pat or Ted Ditchburn.
Stevie, of course; the lovely Daveed, because he's still worth it (and he can bring the champagne from his own vinyard); Erik Thorsvedt, just because I really liked him.
I was going to say the same but I'm too much of a lady ...... not really, I'd buy a pair of Doc Martens specially for the occasion!
His brother gave up football to become a Jehovah's Witness. Back in the 70s, there was a documentary about it, Cyril was interviewed and he came across as a really lovely guy, who had no idea how or why his brother converted. Cyril was a real character, larger than life and a half decent player too. Tragically, he lost a young son in a freak accident, must have been devastating for him and his wife. Taken from us much too soon, would have been brilliant to see him at The Finale.
And why? Well before my time but Dave MacKay for me for what I know and have read he was hard but fair and didn't take any shite and a modest man for what he achieved.....
Gary Mabbutt. He’s just a near perfect decent bloke. Would love to talk about the 80s and 90s, the period I grew up and fell in love with the lilywhite shirt.
As a kid Ginola was my hero. I went on a tottenham football camp when i was like 9. I have a picture holding the worthington cup. Anyway i was being bullied by the other kids and one our midfield players at the time came over and read them the riot act. I cant remember who. Early 2000s if anyone can help. Made my day.
Have been in a lucky position to meet and have a pint with a fair number of ex Tottenham players, I really enjoyed meeting Ossie. He was a funny and intelligent guy. Micky Hazard is class - very friendly. Steve Perryman a bit guarded and a bit grumpy (well seemed to be)
I’ve always wanted to meet Paul Stewart, that seems a bit loaded nowadays, but he was always a special player to me when I first started going Spurs on a regular basis.

Listening to Micky Hazard on the podcast, he sounds like a thoroughly nice chap. Not sure about going for a drink with Gazza, he’s an alcoholic right?? I think that would be a bit depressing.
Should add, going for a drink with Gazza would be fucking depressing. I will remember him on the pitch, especially 1989-1991. Two seasons where he was an utter genius in our shirt.
Super Robbie Keane...fucking love him!
Shit! No smilies for him!

met him a few times but not for a drink. As expected a decent chap. Seems to have disappeared in the last few years. Would shake his hand after all the news stuff.
Can I change my mind to Lamela? As I reckon he has some good connections to get some banging gear..........
