Spurs’ Cult Heroes – Chivers or Peters? Waddle or Sheringham?

Which two would you select from Chivers, Peters, Waddle and Sheringham, as those who captured the hearts and imaginations of Tottenham fans for what they did at White Hart Lane?The compilation of the list of 20 Spurs Cult Heroes, for a book out next spring, may have been fairly unscientific at times, but it has drawn on masses of personal opinions and reminiscences. It is not a list of the definitive 20 Spurs heroes – as personal opinions necessarily differ on such a subjective matter – but it is a selection of 20 from a wider pool of candidates.

As we at AANP try to select a good range, and capture fans’ opinions, the topic continues to spark plenty of debate – so the aim today is to gauge where popular opinion lies between Waddle and Sheringham, and stepping back a few decades, between Peters and Chivers. Feel free to leave your arguments for or against these players, all opinions taken on board.

Spurs’ Cult Heroes – Your Memories of Clive Allen…

He has been regarded by some as a controversial choice of Spurs Cult Hero, but his 49 goals in a single season, in 86/87, is frankly ludicrous, and is unlikely ever to be repeated.Please do share your thoughts on Allen – first impressions, favourite goals, crowd chants – as well as any memories you may have of meeting the man off the pitch.

 

(This one is of particular personal interest, as although I remember seeing him on TV,  his Spurs career fits in that niche after my old man stopped being a regular at the Lane, and before I started – so I’m intrigued to get a better idea of the crowd reaction to him…)
