So I had a quick browse through the forum and couldn't see if this had been done before but I thought i'd bring it up anyway..
This topic is for you lads and ladies to dicuss your favourite players (within your lifetime) and tell us why you fell in love with them (metaphorically)
Now I've been a Tottenham fan since day 1 (17 years ago) and all though I paraded around in numerous Tottenham kits of the quite ugly 90's style, the earliest memory I actually have of the Tottenham team was the season we signed Robbie Keane. As far as I remember it was a very dull time, we had players like Sullivan and Keller in goal, Richards CB, Anderton (what a legend) and good old Teddy Sheringham. Now despite my love of the way Anderton could pass the ball, Robbie Keane was the first player I adored and would therefore be my fave player of my lifetime (thus far). It's stereotypical in a way that strikers become fan favourites but I'm sure no one would argue that this guy helped raise the standard of strikers that us fans expected to perform at out beloved club.(And the infamous cartwheel, roll and guns celebration just sealed the deal for me!)
Thankfully, after supporting Tottenham through what was probably their darkest time with constant relegation battles to survive and mid-table finishes we have become a top four side with world-class players...and through this long and tough transaction other 'favourites' have come along, such as Michael Carrick (for his passing abillity and the free kick against United), Paul Robinson (for being a better keeper than Kasey Keller..), Michael Dawson ( purely because King was injured and he commanded our back four to finish fourth) and now it's currently tied between BALE and VDV who are both absolutely sublime!
So I don't expect as long as a post as this but who is your fave player and why?
