Good thread, TCM.

I've combined a couple categories as I don't watch much TV and I don't really listen to many bands, whilst I don't think I've ever read a book outside of my school years <laugh>

Spurs - many best would generally feature in fav too but gonna do separate lists.
Best: Ledley, Modric, Kane, Bale, van der Vaart, Eriksen, Vertonghen, Lloris, Berbatov, Ginola.
Favourite: Ekotto, Dawson, Tainio, Dembele, Defoe, Keane, Robinson, Son, Dier, Lennon.

England:
Seaman (sorry!), Rio, Ashley Cole, Lampard, Scholes, Beckham, Rooney, Owen, Shearer, Le Tiss (didn't really have much of an England career but great player).

Music:
CASisDEAD, James Bay, George Ezra, Skepta, Giggs, Wiley, Eminem, 50 Cent, Royal Blood, Bob Marley.

TV:
Vikings, The Last Kingdom, Inbetweeners, Plebs, Luther, Spartacus, South Park, SAS Who Dares Wins, Spooks, Ultimate Force.

Comedy Films:
Superbad, Step Brothers, The Hangover, Liar Liar, Hot Fuzz, Dumb and Dumber, American Pie, Inbetweeners Movie, Ted, Mr Bean's Holiday.

Films:
The Rock, Scarface, Con Air, Lone Survivor, 13 Hours: Secret Soldiers of Benghazi, Under Siege, Universal Soldier, King Arthur, Last Samurai, Troy. Notable shoutout to the Dark Knight, the film was good but more down to Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker, phenomenal.

Comedians:
Jimmy Carr, Micky Flanagan, Michael Mcintyre, James Acaster, Sean Lock, Lee Evans, Kevin Bridges, Ricky Gervais, Kevin Hart, Chris Rock.

Computer Games:
Assassins Creed, God of War, Football Manager, FIFA, Tom Clancy's Wildlands, COD Modern Warfare, Crash Bandicoot, Donkey Kong, Fight Night, GTA.

I won’t be doing them all and this is not exhaustive. All in no particular order:

Spurs Players
Best: Kane, Sonny, VdV, King, Dembele, Berbatov, Vertonghen, Bale, Keane, Modric
Favourites: Kane, Lamela, BAE, Dawson, VdV, Bentaleb, Lennon, Keane, King, Parker

Honourable mention to Harry Winks <laugh>

Films: Airplane, Watchmen, The Naked Gun, Master & Commander, The Hangover, The Good The Bad and The Ugly, The Lord of the Rings, Full Metal Jacket, Snatch, The Dark Knight

Video Games: GTA, The Witcher 3, Red Dead 1 & 2, CoD (4 remains the best), Assassins Creed, Far Cry, the Jak and Daxter games, FIFA, Fallout (though haven’t played since 3), Metro

Books: The Lord of the Rings (again), Wolf Hall and the other two in Mantel’s trilogy, lots of stuff by Bernard Cornwell (though I think The Warlord Chronicles top his work), Requiem for a Dream...books will require more thought, I read more than I watch films or TV if I’m honest.

England Players
Banks
Des Walker
Phil Neal
Bobby Moore
John Barnes
Alan Shearer
David Beckham
Wayne Rooney ( before he got fat and had a liking for old slappers)
Ian Wright ( 30 hail marys) but he gave his all for England
Frank Lampard( if only they could have set aside the differences with the manure and pool )
Really hard this one because of the Spurs veto, when you think of it we have had a strong core of England players
