Done Deal: $7.12 million contract with the former player of Tottenham is officially completed…

With a good 86 years still to go, there is plenty of time for several players to stake a claim as one of Tottenham Hotspur’s greatest of the century.

But waiting until 2100 seems a little too extreme to reflect on the finest footballers to have represented Tottenham. Especially when the decade-and-a-half of the 21st century so far has already seen some noteworthy talents excel at the North London club.

In going about ranking the 25 greatest of these players, three main criteria have been considered: talent, contributions to Spurs’ cause and longevity.

Naturally, though, the final order is this writer’s opinion, and thus there are sure to be disagreements over different aspects of this list.

If nothing else, this article will hopefully celebrate and remember the men that have helped make Tottenham an entertaining and captivating part of the Premier League era.
