It must be Pat Jennings! Easily the greatest goalie Spurs ever had (& are likely to have!) & during his time at Spurs - the best goalkeeper in the world!

if its pure cult basis as opposed to skill levels then knowles, gilzean and must be freund. as re jennings and the scum, can’t blame the great man. spurs dumped on the srap heap and he proved them wrong. back at his spiritual home now though and true true spurs

Jennings unquestionably, disappointing that neither Gilzean (who we could certainly do with now) a real class act along with Cyril K and Chivers (to watch him at speed was thing of sheer beauty!) and no Mullery or John White - big mistake. I would remove Klinsmann, Allen, Waddle and Ginola to make way.

If we really go back to the 50s, what about Alf Ramsey!!.I we all agree he left a big impression on English football.

Ok he wasn’t playing for Spurs at the time but I think it still carries over. As does his hat-trick against Southhampton which I will never forget

I have to agree with Ronny Rozenthal. That miss is so infamous it qualifies him as a cult hero. I can’t count how many times I have seen the clip.

Alan Gilzean - just to watch him occasionally break into a run…

Pat Jennings - Spurs best goalkeeper ever and for a while the best goalie in the world
John White - the key to the Double
Alan Gilzean - all the class of Berbatov and loyal to boot
Cyril Knowles - great left back and great character
Can’t vote for Sheringham or Lineker - too interested in their own careers and not in Spurs

I’m shocked! why is Alan Gizean not in the list. he was ‘the King of WHL’. subtle skills, many goals and he trade marked the glancing header. both Greaves and Chivers say they owed him so much. A true cult hero
