Say what you will about Tottenham, they've had some cracking players over the years.
Spurs have often hosted brilliant individual talents as opposed to one fantastic team, hence the noticeable lack of any silverware over the last ten years. The Audi Cup and International Champions Cup don't really count, unfortunately.
Regardless, whittling down all those who have played for Tottenham in the Premier League era into a 25-man squad was somewhat tricky, but we've given it a go anyway. Go figure.
Goalkeepers
Hugo Lloris - Although culpable of the regular gaffe, the World Cup winner has regularly won Tottenham games with his extraordinary reflexes and show-stopping saves. Currently sitting on 251 Premier League appearances for the club.
Ian Walker - The former England international earns his spot off longevity, having been a regular for Spurs throughout the 1990s. Was part of the side that beat Leicester in the 1999 League Cup final.
Paul Robinson - Scored a goal against Watford, so we've got a proper goal-threat from our third choice goalkeeper. Warrants his inclusion thanks to four solid seasons as Spurs' number one.
Centre Backs
Ledley King - Propa Tottnam. Damn that pesky knee! King couldn't train as regularly as his fellow squad members yet was always among the better players when he did feature in the starting XI, possessing more than ample pace for a centre back. Captained the club to their most recent piece of silverware - the 2008 League Cup.
Michael Dawson - The club's player of the year during the 2009/10 season, Dawson was a regular fixture in the Spurs side from his debut in 2005 until his departure in 2014. Scored Tottenham's first in the memorable 2-1 victory over Chelsea in 2006.
Jan Vertonghen - Now approaching the twilight of his career, Vertonghen has given a lot to Tottenham, and rather sadly only has a couple of PFA Team of the Year appearances and League Cup and Champions League runner-up medals to show for it. The club's player of the year in 2018 and owner of a truly iconic goal celebration.
Toby Alderweireld - Despite being linked with Manchester United and god knows what other teams over the years, Alderweireld is into his fifth season with Spurs and signed a new contract in December. Was an instant hit in 2015/16, though injuries have limited his appearances over the last couple of years.
Right Backs
Kyle Walker - At his best, Walker was capable of taking the ball from inside his own half to the other end of the pitch in mere seconds,
Stephen Carr - Has a decent claim to start, having made more Premier League appearances than Walker. He also means more to the club's fans, having been so consistent during a time when Spurs were infuriatingly inconsistent. Also scored a banger against Manchester United.
Left Backs
Danny Rose - Rose gets into this team purely by only playing 18 league games during the 2016/17 season and still getting included in the PFA Team of the Year. Oh, and his goals against Arsenal and Chelsea, of course.
Benoit Assou-Ekotto - Honestly, we could have stuck Ben Davies in here, but that would feel a little same-y and monotonous given he and Rose have shared Tottenham's left back spot for the past five years or so. Instead, BAE gets the nod. The former Cameroon international built up a good rapport with Gareth Bale down the left and chipped in with the odd goal here and there too.
Central Midfielders
Luka Modric - The best central midfielder Tottenham have ever had in the Premier League era, Modric ran games like nobody's business. The Croatian flourished as a deep-lying playmaker at White Hart Lane and often started attacks that ended with Peter Crouch, Gareth Bale or Emmanuel Adebayor wheeling away in celebration.
Mousa Dembele - In some alternate timeline in the universe somewhere, Dembele played ten seasons for Barcelona, rarely got injured, scored bucketloads of goals and has a trophy cabinet filled to the brim. Unfortunately, he got injured regularly during his Tottenham career, but that didn't detract from his regularly muscly and silky performances in central midfield. Outstanding during the 2016/17 campaign.
Jermaine Jenas - Gets in purely on the back of two cracking goals against Arsenal and that free kick at Manchester United. Also because he claimed Tottenham played better than Chelsea during their 2017 FA Cup semi-final. Chelsea scored more goals unfortunately, but Spurs were undeniably robbed in that game. Maybe. Probably not.
Michael Carrick - Carrick brought some style and substance to Martin Jol's Tottenham side during his two seasons at White Hart Lane. Joined Manchester United after his brief stint and won a few trophies there. Perennially underrated, apparently.
Right Midfielders
David Ginola
Darren Anderton - Yep, 'Sicknote' makes the cut ahead of Aaron Lennon. His career may have been unfortunately blighted by injury, but Anderton still got through over 350 games in all competitions for Spurs, scoring 48 goals in the process.
Left Midfielders
Son Heung-min - This is where things start to get a bit more packed with genuine world class talent. Son has more goals and a better strike rate per game than his rival for the left wing spot, though his penchant for getting upset and sent off could work against him.
Gareth Bale - This squad would have a little more about it than 'give the ball to Gareth and hope for the best', but it's always good to have that option regardless. The current Real Madrid forward established himself as a legitimate star during the 2012/13 season, a campaign which remains his best ever in terms of goals scored.
Attacking Midfielders
Rafael van der Vaart - Paper hamstrings, sure, but Rafa can be left on the bench until the games against Arsenal. He loved playing the Gunners, scoring five times in four appearances.
Christian Eriksen - Sour ending aside, the Dane was brilliant for Tottenham. He was the cog that made Mauricio Pochettino's pressing machine work, often linking up superbly with Harry Kane and Dele Alli to devastating effect.
Dele Alli - A player with a unique skillset, Dele may not run games like Van der Vaart or Eriksen, but his goal record remains extraordinary, especially in 2016/17.
Strikers
Harry Kane - He may finish his career charging around pitches with both his legs in a wheelbarrow, but Kane's record speaks for itself. He'd lead the line here and score goals aplenty.
Jermain Defoe - People may forget the excellent job Defoe did for Spurs. There was a lot more competition for places during the mid 2000s - it was actually a time when the club had about four strikers they could turn to, not like the modern age where there's only one and a half - but he still churned out credible goal returns year upon year.
Robbie Keane - Jurgen Klinsmann, Dimitar Berbatov and a few others can feel a little aggrieved to miss out, but we've got to have Keane and his iconic cartwheel celebration. Was a consistent goal threat throughout the early to mid 2000s for Spurs. His move to Liverpool didn't work out, but Tottenham were more than happy to bring him back for a second spell at the club. Ended up with 122 goals in all competitions for Spurs.
