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!

where the fuck is Clive Allen??????
In the fucking poll.
Some players are missing:
Grzegorz Rasiak
Andy Booth
Paul Mahorn
Gordon Durie
I cannot vote, without consideration of such players
Andy Booth should win it if there is any justice in the world.
what about Ricardo Villa
As you says H, Booth should win it but as he didn’t actually score for us, so he should excluded albeit on a technicality.
Who the fuck voted for Robbie Keane, I cast my vote for Clive Allen as Greaves was before my time. Allen in my time was the man who hit the onion bag most and that was the question
People with a decent knowledge of football. Apart from Keane, only one player had better all round movement using a class football brain and that is Klinsmann.
Keane was not the best finisher but he scored a shitload for spurs and was a fantastic team player for the club.
Certainly deserves a nice share of the votes, but should be behind Greaves, Klinsmann, Linekar, Allen and probably Berbatov and Sheringham, which he is on the list.
But a class act that deserves respect and not some of the moronic comments you sometimes see about him.
wish i was old enough to see the mecuriel greavies but unfortunately i aint… allens record breaking season the best ever… hoddle my idol as a kid… gascoinge because he is GAZZA! and only 2 seasons but has to be the most exciting the genius klinsman… but the truth is all of the above other than (bent,crouch,defoe,pav) deserve to be there COYS!!!
Where’s Jurgen?
With your mum.
