    Dream Team Book. Empty Dream Team Book.

    I have been contacted by author Norman Giller on facebook. He is writing a new book documenting Spurs supporters dream team. I asked if we could submit a dream team as a forum and he said yes. Now, I'm not sure how we would go about this. Maybe we could bandy names about. It has to be 11 players and five subs. He also said he would credit Spurs chat in the book and put the Web address in as well........... RESULT. He also said if anyone wants to put their own dream team forward to go into the book than you can send it to the following email address. manager@normangillerbooks.co.uk.
    The only criteria for submitting a dream team is they must be players you have seen play. Suggestions as to a group Dream team please. For me any group team has to have Greaves in it lol.

    Given the age range on here Baz it will be a team that encompasses the ages. I would agree greaves though I never saw him play. Maybe posters should submit there teams in this thread then the most mentioned ones obviously get picked and for who is left we put in into a poll ?

    Nice shot that Baz.

    GK. Erik "The Viking"
    RB. Stephen Carr, thought he was brilliant for us at right back.
    LB. Gareth Bale, plays his best football at Left Back.
    CB. Gary Mabbutt, Legend!!
    CB. Ledley King, without his injury problems would have been the best.
    RM. Aaron Lennon, everything you want from a winger.
    CM. Paul Gascoigne, My fav ever player, just class!
    CM. Luka Modric, could become a WHL Legend
    LM. Daviv Ginola, Oooozzed class.
    FW. Jurgen Klinsmann, Fantastic goalscorer.
    FW. Gary Lineker, Knew exactly where the back of the net was.

    Subs.
    GK. Paul Robinson, had his best years at Spurs.
    Cristian Ziege, solid fullback.
    Michael Dawson, is fast becoming world class centerhalf
    Stefen Freund, always gave 100%
    Teddy Sheringham, one of our greatest ever goalscorers

    Baz is Mr Giller updating the book that came out a couple of years ago called "The Lane of Dreams" in which he selected this very team from votes by Spurs supporters.

    Pat Jennings, I know Len and Mikey might pick Ditchburn though. Ditchburn was highly rated I know that.
    Left Back Benny, On his day he is untouchable. I nearly picked Cyril Knowles but if I did my team would be littered with older players.
    Centre half Mike England. The big man was a great defender. Tough and reliable.
    Centre half Ledders. As Lee said when fit I don't think there is anyone better in Europe possibly the World.
    Right Back Steve Perryman. Although he didn't l;ook it he was a hard man. He was influential on the pitch too. A true proffessional.
    Left wing Ginola. Amazing player and scored some great goals for us.
    CM Has to be Hoddle. Born is the King of White Hart Lane. That was true in every way.
    CM Mabbut. What a great player he was. Considering his disability he was a marvel. He would also be my captain as well.
    RW Aaron Lennon, if only he could find that final ball.
    Striker.Jimmy Greaves, no doubt for me. He oozed class in everyway. His goalscoring record is second to none.
    Second striker is a difficult choice. I am going to plump for Chivers though as he and Greaves forged a brief but fruitful partnership when Gilzean left.

    Subs
    Erik the Viking.
    Alan Gilzean.
    Ossie Ardiles.
    Michael Dawson.
    Cyril Knowles.

    As far as I'm aware from what he wrote to me. It's a new book. It seems to be a book of Dream teams put forward by Spurs supporters mate. I'll find the Message.

    Just as a matter of interest the team selected in The Lane of Dreams was:

    Jennings who received 97% vote

    Ramsey

    England

    Burgess

    King

    Blanchflower

    Hoddle

    Mackay

    Greaves

    Smith

    Waddle

    The most popular format was 4 3 3



    Be interesting to se how close to that it is now.

    Now here's mine

    GK Pat Jennings probably the best keeper I've seen
    RB Alf Ramsey only just remember him but a great passer
    CB Mike England the best we've seen so far
    CB Gary Mabbutt Couldn't leave him out
    LB Ledley King again has to be included so I put him here
    RM John White My hero the ghost just a complete player made Spurs tick. Missed 15games
    in his time and we only won once when he was out
    CM Glen Hoddle Perfect passer scorer of great goals
    CM Dave Mackay the hard man would run through walls
    LM Cliff Jones Pace brave great in the air and on the ground
    F Jimmy Greaves Simply the best
    F Martin Chivers Would have been a great foil for Greaves

    Subs. Ted Ditchburn just in front of Ray Clemence mainly bacause he played in the time when goalkeepers had no referee protection
    Phil Beal good steady reliable defender
    Cyril Knowles only left out because of Ledders
    Danny Blanchflower great captain
    Paul Gascoigne difficult not to include if only for the laughs
    Chris Waddle second only to Cliff Jones
    Bobby Smith a battering ram never shirked a tackle scored loads

    What a great idea Baz, maybe a tally should be done at the end, for each position, and the players who got the most votes for each position represent?

    Now when you say players that you must have seen play, does this mean only players you saw live, i.e. from your own era, rather than players you saw on the TV?

    I'm assumng you mean players from our era, in which case mine is;

    GK - Pat Jennings. Best I've ever seen in any team at any time anywhere.
    LB - Disco Benny. Rel quality and it'll get up Vis's nose! lol! (Smilie Vis so don't shoot please)
    RB - Steve Perryman. Mr Spurs.
    CB - Ledders without a shadow, when fit is the best in the World IMHO and when have we ever said that about a Spurs player?
    CB - Graham Roberts. I'm gutted to have to leave out Lord Gary but Roberts went through walls for the Lillywhite.
    LM - Ginola. Culture, quality and a host of other superlatives.
    RM - Chris Waddle. He almost got canned for the daft mullet though. Baaad Chreees Waddle.
    CM - Hoddle. Like I really need to explain this one.
    CM - Paul Gascoigne. Had everything in his game.
    CF - I'm choosing a pair here and it's Crooks and Archibald. Taken as individuals there are better strikers that I have seen, but as a partnership these two were superb.

    Subs: Gotta get Moddle in here somewhere.
    Mabbutt
    Thorsvedt
    Sheringham & Klinsmann
