By your beds,
In the lifetime of this two bob blog, there have been a few consistent elements. Typos, daytime drinking, my ability to start a fight in an empty room …hang on – I’m Alan Brazil. Well, there’s one of life’s eternal questions answered.
But one genuinely ever present factor has been the issue of our strikers. You build a team from the back, but goals win games. Goals that your lot scores. You can talk all day about ‘service’ and ‘form’ but strikers live and die by their tally. Sure, some are tirelessly intelligent off the ball, but that’s a bonus. Miss World doesn’t get her crown by being a crackerjack flower arranger.
So here’s your task. Tell me who your favourite Spurs goalscorer in your lifetime has been. The reason I ask ‘in your lifetime’ is to allow the passion of younger fans an equal footing with some of our more distinguished Yids who travelled to games on black & white trams clutching over-sized wooden rattles.
You don’t have to have even been to a game to join in. If you were listening to the radio to follow John White’s exploits, that counts just as much.
The best submission will get sent a nice Tottingham related book. I’ve included a poll which ought to cover most of the big names. If I miss anyone you want included, tell me, I’ll update.
This should be a goody. BIOYC!

just had a look at your team
don’t like gallas at rb
no lb – not good some teams actually are OK on the right
who is the striker in that team – you know – the one that scores the goals? – like – lots of them – often
3-5-2 doesnt have Right or Left back Geavsie….mind you, you are a striker so what would you know ;-)
Strikers?..dont you know who Pav and Crouch are??
so who stops the wingers? lumbering centre back giants?
pav and crouch strikers? strikers are paid to score goals – those two run around and jump a bit but score? not very often – do they know where the net is?
Jimmy Greaves No explanation needed because its Jimmy Greaves, look in the record books.
stunned that Rasiak got more votes than Falco! He was no Torres but the boy served us well and he put his penalty away in the 84 UEFA cup final…did ya hear that JD?
Cant believe not single mention for Ginola? If we’re talking “goal scorer” as opposed to “striker”, he should definitely be up there somewhere!
