    She never liked Bentley. Said he has the look and air of a man who spends hours preening himself in the mirror and probably wishes he could date a female clone of himself. She's always had a good judge of character, hence her decision to marry me <laugh>

    <laugh> You started it! This thread was floating along, peacefully minding its own business until you showed up with your Crappest Spurs XI!

    Plenty of categories still up for grabs:

    Tallest XI
    Shortest XI
    Ugliest XI
    Top Scoring XI (Robbo would be in goal)
    Foreign XI
    British XI

    But the one I really want to see is:

    David Pleat Tongue-Twister XI

    Get to work people!

    Best Team

    Lloris
    Carr, Mabbutt, Corluka , BAE
    King
    Modric, VDV, Bale
    Sheringham
    Klinsmann

    subs...Robinson, Kane, Berbatov, Rose, Dier, Toby, Defoe

    I went for BAE over Rose due to BAE's great 2 season spell from 2010-2012 and cos Rose needs to produce at least another good season to over take him in my opinion. Went for Sheringham and klinsmann over Berbatov and Keane but was a real close thing cos both had a great partnership. Went for Defoe as a sub instead Keane cos Defoe produced goal for more clubs, over a longer period in the premier league. .. again, it was close but sentiment also played a part. My only doubt is about Corluka instead of Toby...but think Corluka was very under rated.

    Gone for Jol as the manager simply cos he took us from being ****...not Sherwood or Ramos temporary **** but long term relegation candidates ****...and took us into European football via the league for the first time in over 20 years in just a season and a half which was an amazing achievement.

    Some for a David Pleat's unsayable 11

    Shimbomba (chimbonda)
    Cherry Cheese (Chiriches)
    Ronald Deano (Ronaldinho)
    Dirk Kirk (Dirk Kuyt)

    This team has a beautiful balance to it - although Charlie and Mabbs leaves you with zero pace at the back.
    BMJ did more for us than any other manager in our PL history. Like you said, he transformed us from a laughingstock to a team that people took seriously and respected for the first time in 15 years. Even with all the damage Ramos managed to wreak, such was the groundwork laid down by Jol that there was always a sense it was a 'blip' rather than 'normal service resumed', and so it was.

    Leonhardsen and Clemence don't even hit the six-foot mark, I'm afraid.
    Scott should miss out to Gardner, both on height and the fact that nobody bloody remembers him! <laugh>
