Spurs 1981 V Spurs 2012

On an earlier thread I commented that my two favorite Spurs sides were the current one and the 1981 vintage


1 Milija Aleksic
2Chris Hughton
3Paul Miller
4Graham Roberts
5Ricardo Villa
6Steve Perryman (c)
7Osvaldo Ardiles
8Steve Archibald
9Tony Galvin
10Glenn Hoddle
11Garth Crooks

Thats the Cup final line up

Brad
Walker
King
Y.K
B.A.E
Lenn
Modds
Parker
Bale
RVDV
Ade

I believe the above is our strongest line up

How many of the 1981 side would get into the 2012 line up ???...Dont forget who they would replace and would we still have the balance we do now ?????

What are your fav vintages and how do you think they would compare with our current team ???

"That was a big mistake by England RDBD , they should of built the team around him"

Cloughie was a Hoddle fan (but not the work ethic) .
If he had got the job, I think they would have.

Mighty .....Don't need to play the vid , that goal is permanently etched into my grey matter

Hod idol ........They say that the one thing that was wrong with his managerial skills was that he was still better than the players he managed and would get peed off that they couldn't do the things that he still could

I was at both semis in 81 and my memory of Crooks especially at Highbury was the incredible pace he showed
