Great player and the peak version is clearly missed at Spurs.

Remember when his agent and our youth coach Les Ferdinand said he was good enough to leave Spurs and go to Real Madrid?I think if he had gone he could have achieved the same success as Modric and possibly been up for a Ballon d'Or too.

See.

He was probably the best player I've seen in the Prem at dribbling through the midfield and getting out of pressure situations. We had Cazorla who was excellent at that too.

Would've been interesting to see him play further forward given his talents with the ball but maybe he didn't have that killer instinct for a shot or assist
----------------------------------------------------------------------


No, that was one thing in his game that was lacking, his ability to score goals. But his incredible ball retention and build up play to set up attacks was just superb. Goal scorer he wasn’t though.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Got a feeling for some reason that he actually started his career as a striker and was moved back into midfield.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yep this is right…..was a striker when Fulham signed him and he played up front for them for a short time before moving behind the striker then back into midfield

I felt so comfortable seeing his name on a team sheet before a match (with Wanyama)

Those two dominated most midfields we played against
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Still shocking that Wanyama's peak was so short lived before retiring to the MLS.

Knee injury finished him

One of the greatest to wear the shirt in recent times and probably my favourite player, along with Bale, to have watched over the past decade. There’s nothing better than seeing a player ghost past an opponent as if they’re not there. Men against boys stuff.

Remember the game against Juventus? I think he had 10% possession of the ball. Untouchable on his day.

My God that goal at Anfield 😮
They were great times. My most enjoyable period as a Spurs fan in 32 years.
