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!

The King of course….Greavsie
Sad to see the great Neale Fenn missing. Who can forget the partnership he forged with Rory Allen back in 1997, helping to restrict us to a 2-0 cup defeat to Manchester Excited.
Other than that, got to be Clive Allen. A goal machine, and even though he did sign for the Ar5e, he had the good sense to leave after two months. Legend.
Pointless exercise…Greavsie greatest of all time.
Most important goal(s) scored: Crouch
Most memorable goal: Danny Rose
crap Ricardo Villa in cup final crouch cant lace his boots
A lot depends on your age. I am old enough to have seen virtually all of those players named. By far and away Greaves was the best. He made it look so simple you were always left with wondering why nobody else did ot do the same thing.
Cerainly there have been others such as Allen and Klinsmann but Greaves was the king.
Ditto being old enough. Ditto Greaves, though Clive is at his shoulder. I’ve never seen Kane play, yet some intuition tells me he is in the Allen mould.
