With the football on hold at the moment, we’ve been thinking about who gets in Tottenham’s all-time XI.

Yesterday we chose the first of three midfielders. Today we’re choosing the second.

Here are the nominees …


3rd – Ossie Ardilles

A World Cup winner when he joined Tottenham in 1978, Ardilles stayed for another six years and won the FA Cup and Uefa Cup during his time with the club.

2nd – Paul Gascoigne

A troubled genius but a genius no less, Paul Gascoigne came of age at Newcastle but it was in a Tottenham shirt that he showed the world just how good he really was. The flame that burns twice as bright goes for half as long.

And the winner is … Dave MacKay

Arguably Tottenham’s best ever player. MacKay was as good a midfielder as there has ever been in English football and played a major part in four of Tottenham’s most famous trophy wins. He was, as coach Bill Nicholson said, the “heartbeat” of the team.


Here’s how the team is looking so far …

GK: Pat Jennings RB: Sol Campbell LB: Gary Mabbutt CB: Ledley King CB:Mike England CM: Glenn Hoddle CM: Dave Mackay

Check back tomorrow when we will be choosing the third midfielder!
