Not necessarily the best players. Just ones you particularly appreciated, or always kinda hoped would be picked. Here goes mine : ---------------Robinson Corluka Woodgate Toby Gallas Anderton Carrick Pritchard Malbranque --------Defoe Berbatov Bit of an odd assortment !
This probably doesn't line up in a recognised formation, but I'll name these eleven. Robbo, Walker, Daws, Ledley, BAE, VDV, Hudds, Modric, Bale, Kane, Defoe.
I'll go for: Robinson, Carr, Dawson, King BAE, VDV, Anderton, Modric, Bale, Sherringham, Berbatov. Bit of an Ardilles team
Blanchflower, Mackay, Jones, Smith, Greaves, Gazza, Hoddle, Lineker, Berbatov, Bale, Kane. Just some of my all time favourites over the years but had to leave many more out. No team formation whatsoever!

GK - Robinson - What a guy, was truly loved by the fans. RB - Corluka - After Zlatan, Corluka is the coolest motherfucker that's ever played football, was so composed & solid at RB, his interviews were always so chilled. CB - Dawson - Gave his all for us, another that was loved by fans. CB - King - No reason needed really, best there was and best there ever will be for us at the heart of defence. LB - Ekotto - Loved his honesty about football, best LB we've had in the Prem, although Danny really is coming along nowadays. CM - Modric - World Class CM, was devastated and annoyed at his antics when pushing for a move but on the pitch he was unbelievable and a joy to watch. CM - Parker - Don't remember another player that ran himself into exhaustion for the team. RM - Rafa - Became an instant fan favourite, probably the biggest and best signing we made in yonks - and for a bargain price! LM - Bale - The best attacking player I've seen at the club. One of the best in the world, too. ST - Berbatov - Made it look way too easy, scored some memorable goals for us. ST - Kane - One of our own and what a player he's become. Subs: Lloris - Hugo on the bench, best keeper I've ever seen at The Lane but Robbo had that affinity with the fans and so as this is about appreciation, Robbo gets the nod. Woodgate - Second best CB I've seen at the Lane after Ledley but again, Daws wins on popularity (Toby and Jan could possibly creep in this one day, Gallas also gets a shout for his first season where he was immense and showed that winner's mentality at the club which I loved watching). Zokora - Di-Di-Er Zo-Koo-Raa, Do-Do-Dooooo. Chimbonda - What's that coming over the hill, is it Chimbonda, is it Chimbondaaaa. Lennon - Was a breath of fresh air when he burst onto the scene as this unknown youngster with lightning pace, I miss his work rate and runs down the right, even if he did lack an end product for the most part. Keane - Keeeaaaano! There's only one Keaano! Defoe - Jermain Defoe, he's a yido!.
