Since the Premier League was introduced in 1992 Spurs have had their fair share of talent, ranging from slick and skilful attackers to robust and solid defenders; we’ve seen it all.

But the question remains, who from this catalogue of talent would make it into Tottenham’s greatest ever Premier League XI?

Here’s how they could line up:

GK: Hugo Lloris
If this wasn’t a Premier League greatest XI then Lloris would certainly be losing his place between the sticks to Pat Jennings.

However, it is, and it’s hard to think of anyone in the Premier League era who has put in a better shift than our current French number one.

His closest competitor was Paul Robinson, who we all remember and love, but it’s Lloris who got the gloves on this occasion, and I could think of a lot worse goalkeepers to have in our greatest XI.
