Tottenham Istal is an established British team, located in North London, and is a famous rival to Arsenal. Since its founding in 1882, Spurs have been active in the top league of English football for a long time, reaching the top of the local league in the 1950s and 1960s, and performing well in the 1970s and 1980s, winning the UEFA Cup twice.
After Daniel Levy became the head of the team in 2001, Spurs began to usher in a new era of glory, the overall combat strength gradually improved, the club positioning overstepping the level of success, achieving the achievement of promoting from the middle of the Premier League to the upper reaches of the Premier League to the BIG 6 team. In the 16/17 season, Tottenham Hotspur was runner-up in the Premier League; in the 18/19 season, Tottenham Hotspur was runner-up in the Champions League, and these two runners-ups can be said to be the biggest proof of Tottenham's real rise as a new upstart in recent years.
Looking back at the history of Tottenham Hotspur, although their achievements cannot even be compared with the giants in the second gear, they have also attracted many modern fans to be familiar with the future, and their own youth training hematopoietic training to cultivate stars or as a foundry to process stars is not bad.
Combining the players' age, fame, and strength at the time of play, the author will take stock of the top ten representative players in the history of Tottenham Hotspur in this article for the reference of fans. Of course, due to space limitations, if there is a lost pearl or a debatable choice, you are welcome to leave a message in the comment area to add.
10. Paul Gascoyne
Paul Gascoin, a famous bad boy in English football, has long been their epitome for inspiration and talent in the midfield position. A newcastle-trained player, Paul Gascoin joined Tottenham in 1988 and was already at the top of England football's most watched home country at the time.
Looking back at Paul Gascoin's career, the four years of Tottenham between 1988 and 1992 are a true pinnacle for him. Immediately after joining, Paul Gascoin used his unparalleled organizational skills to let Spurs play the attacking football that made fans addicted, and the partner and the god front Reinker who completely coincided with his tottenham career year made Spurs briefly rank among the top in the English league at that time.
In fact, Reinker was already at the end of the peak of the unpopular situation at the time, but he played nearly the best time of his career, which was actually the embodiment of the personal strength and talent of paul Gascoin, the midfield genius who delivered the cannonballs behind him. For Tottenham fans at the time, watching Gascoin play was an absolute joy, as they had the most brilliant and focused four years of football for this England midfielder.
IX. Luka Modric
When they joined Tottenham Hotspur from Croatian giants Dinamo Zagreb in 2008, the Magic Flute was worth 16.5 million euros; when they left for Real Madrid in 2012, Spurs received a transfer fee of 37.5 million euros from Modric.
Luka Modric is a Ballon d'Or midfielder and has probably the highest historical position in football than any player who has played for Tottenham, with the highest personal strength and possible ability to lead the team as a core.
However, the magic flute when playing for Tottenham Hotspur from 2008 to 2012 was still in the growth period of his career, and in the last two years of leaving the team, he began to be truly included in the world-class midfield discussion, and he personally entered the peak. I believe that the earliest time when many fans realized this long-haired and flowing midfield master with excellent offensive and defensive rhythm was actually his tottenham white years.
Later, Modric's growth into Mr. Ballon d'Or at Real Madrid may not be what most Tottenham fans can expect, but most of you should feel honored and happy for him, after all, this is also the proof of Tottenham Hotspur as a star processing plant, and the Magic Flute has always been very dedicated and stable during his time at Tottenham.
VIII. Gary Reinkel
Gary Reinkel, known in football as the "Gentleman of Football", was a representative of the English striker in the 1980s and early 1990s, a leader in the forward position, and personally left a wonderful performance during his time at Leicester City, Everton, Barca and Tottenham Hotspur.
During his time at Tottenham from 1989 to 1992, Reinker was in his second spring in the middle and late stages of his career, scoring 67 goals in 105 matches for Tottenham. In that era, Lineker was a popular star in England, loved and blossomed in England, and was a classic star in team history who contributed a lot to to open up the local fan market for Tottenham.
7. Sun Xingyu
Since joining Tottenham in 2015, Son has been growing at a high speed, completing the transformation from a mid-to-top winger in the top five leagues to a top winger in the world. In terms of assault ability, propulsion ability and shooting ability, Son Xingyu has long surpassed the public fans' perception of Asian striker players, and his personal value has risen to the level of 80 million euros away, and he can also enter the Golden Globe Awards list.
In terms of immediate combat strength, Son Heung-min is definitely the best in the history of Tottenham Hotspur. Last season, the 28-year-old Son Xingyu played 22 goals and 12 assists. Since joining the company in 2015, he has scored 116 goals in 301 appearances, and he seems to be growing at a high speed. In the past three seasons, Son has won the team's best of the season twice, while Kane has only once. In this way, it is not an exaggeration to say that Son Heung-min and the British emperor star Kane are equal in the status of Gemini at Tottenham.
Christian Erikson
Back in 2013, 21-year-old Danish midfielder Eriksen moved from Dutch League powerhouse to Tottenham for a transfer fee of €11.5 million and spent the peak seven years of his career at Tottenham.
Eriksen in the Tottenham era, with an average of 9 goals and 12 assists per season, is the behind-the-scenes hero of Tottenham's road to BIG6, the personal peak is an elegant midfielder of the quasi-master level, in addition to the weak physical confrontation ability, Eriksen is quite good in the indicator attributes of the rest of the midfielders, watching him play is definitely a pleasure.
Considering only the seniority and performance of the Tottenham era, I think Eriksen is the first midfielder in Tottenham's history. In 2020 Eriksen left Tottenham to switch to Inter for 20 million euros. However, compared with the performance of the Premier League era, Eriksen after Serie A is somewhat unsatisfied, and his performance has a significant gap, and he has previously reached a termination contract with Inter because of heart problems and poor performance.
V. Robbie Keane
In terms of style of play, Keane is known for his excellent speed and keen sense of shooting, and was called "Irish Owen" in his early debut.
In terms of peak combat strength, Robbie Keane is probably a discounted version of civilian Owen, who has long been a first-class striker in the Premier League and a marginal strength of European giants. In terms of pure strength, he certainly can't rank in this position in the history of Tottenham Hotspur, even compared to the former strike partner, and later be able to stand at Manchester United and have a highlight performance. Thinking back to that time, he joined Liverpool after the performance of the floodgates season, I believe many Reds fans are still impressed.
However, considering the age and contribution of the team, Robbie Keane's position in the history of Thettenham Hotspur team is very high. Originally from Ireland, he is the only Tottenham player to win the season's best three times, and he is also the most iconic soul of Tottenham Hotspur in the first decade of the 21st century. In his 8 seasons with Tottenham, Robbie Keane scored a total of 122 goals in 306 appearances, arguably the core player to be relied on by Spurs during that long transition period, and the classic machine gun shooting celebration after his goal is believed to be one of the deep memories of many fans about Tottenham.
Iv. Hugo Loris
Before joining Tottenham, Hugo Lloris was already a French international, having previously performed brilliantly in Both Nice and Lyon, and was named the best goalkeeper in Ligue 1 three times. In 2012, Lloris switched to Tottenham for €15 million and later became Tottenham's captain in 2015. During his time at Tottenham, Lloris' performances have been very stable, and perhaps few people will give priority to Lloris in the world one competition, but his national team and club performances have always been at the level of a world-class goalkeeper.
In the position of goalkeeper, and even the entire range of backcourt players in the history of the team, there is no doubt that the French international Hugo Lloris, who has the World Cup title, is the first in Tottenham's team history. In fact, Hugo Lloris, who has played in today since joining Intham in 2012 and has played a total of 317 times at Tottenham, has participated in the entire process of Tottenham's promotion from midstream teams to BIG 6, and can definitely rank at the top of the team.
Iii. Gareth Bell
Thinking back to that year, the young Bale, crushing the performance of the world's first right-back McCone in the Champions League, really made all fans who pay attention to professional football remember the name of this new Welsh star and his fierce and passionate playing style. It can be said that St. Gareth Bale, who debuted from the Southampton Academy, was only truly well known after the transfer to Tottenham and became a world-class star.
Between 2007 and 2013, Bale made 146 appearances for Tottenham, contributing 43 goals and 20 assists. During this period, he is recognized as Tottenham's most destructive player, and can single-handedly destroy the opponent's entire defensive system, and the threat may be far greater than the data. During his time in the team, Bale made a contribution to Tottenham's steady rise to the top teams in the league.
In the summer of 2013, Bale, who was widely regarded by the media as competing for the world's third strength, joined the Galaxy Real Madrid for a sky-high price of 101 million euros. Unfortunately, to purge Bale to get a huge amount of Tottenham Hotspur, in the back of the market to see the eyes, failed to cultivate Bale dividends well, the introduction of a group of players that do not apply, in Paulinho, Chadelli, Soldado, Capué, Ziriches, Lamela, Eriksen at that time to add the seven strong reinforcements, probably only Eriksen can be regarded as earned.
After a few years of highs and lows and frequent injuries, Bale returned to Tottenham on loan in the 20-21 season, briefly returned to Tottenham, and left behind 13 goals and 3 assists in 32 games throughout the year. As a fringe man of Real Madrid, I wonder if Bale will have a chance to return to Tottenham in the future? For Tottenham fans, I believe many people are looking forward to the return of the great sage who has the soul of Tottenham.
Ii. Jimmy Griffiths
Jimmy Griffiths, an England star active in the 1960s, was the main centre-forward of the 1966 England World Cup. Looking back on his career, he is definitely a legendary star of Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur. After his debut at Chelsea that year, Griffith quickly became a sharp striker who easily scored an average of 20+ goals per season, and then developed a Serie A title in a year at AC Milan, and his performance declined.
In 1961, Jimmy Griffiths, frustrated in Italy, returned to England to play for Tottenham. During the Tottenham years from 1961 to 1970, Jimmy Griffith reached the peak of his career, scoring 266 goals for Spurs in a total of 379 games, and was the all-time top scorer of Tottenham Hotspur, scoring goals with staggering efficiency.
Thanks to Griffiths, Spurs were the premier league throughout the sixties, finishing in the top four of the year four times and finishing as the league runner-up in 1963. That year, Jimmy Griffith was quite scary, scoring 37 goals in 41 appearances during the season.
One, Harry Kane
As a representative of English football and the core of the national team in recent years, Harry Kane is a model of Tottenham's self-produced and self-raised star, joining Tottenham's local academy in 2004, entering the first team in 2011, starting the center in 2014, and then quickly becoming to be tottenham's star, leading the team to win a league runner-up and a Champions League runner-up.
Looking back on Kane's unfinished to-be-renewed Tottenham first-team career, he has scored a total of 200 goals for the team, second only to the famous Griffiths, during which he won the Premier League Golden Boot three times, was selected into the Premier League team of the year five times, and was twice named England's homegrown player of the year. In recent years, after partnering with Son Heung-min, Kane has increased his influence before the strategy and the middle road in addition to his comprehensive shooting, and his attributes are more balanced.
For such a platform as Tottenham, factors such as comprehensive strength and team age, in the competition for the position of the first person in team history, Kane, who is from the family, has enough qualifications. However, the news that Kane wants to leave the team has been fermenting since last year, whether Spurs can keep their top players is still unknown, if they can change their minds and stay in the team for two or three years, the first person in the history of The kane Tottenham hotspur team will be very stable.
