    So many to choose from. For me, Bale, VDV, Modric, Sheringham, Carrick, King and Berbatov are shoe-ins. As for others, it's down to personal perceptions.

    As a team, I wouldn't have VDV and Sheringham though. Too similar.

    Maybe, but I wasn't trying to pick a side, just picking the ones I think were our classiest players.

    Eriksen, Modric, Sandro, Bale

    Tough to leave Lennon and Keane out as they produced a number of my favourite Spurs moments but I feel like I enjoyed watching the others more, especially at their peak.

    Strictly speaking a century starts in on 1 January in year 1 and ends at the end of year 100 because that is 100 full years. So this century started on 1 Jan 2001.
    This is totally inconsistent with what people get excited about which is the big numbers towards the beginning changing.....from 1999 to 2000 say.

    Start digging and you will discover bullshit, it's what our modern world is founded upon. Just because some bright spark discovered it worked on his tomatoes. We call it presentation or packaging or spin. Bullshit had enough yet?

    I don't recall "turn of the century" being 2001. I was drunk though.
    The day ticks over at 00:00:00 and not 00:00:01.
    Ergo Ginola counts and anyone that says otherwise can suck it
