Tottenham fans pick all-time Premier League Spurs XI with only one current player
Tottenham Hotspur fans have named their all-time Premier League XI, and despite the quality on show across several generations, only one current player has made the cut.
Tottenham Hotspur have had a couple of outstanding teams throughout their history, a level of quality that has often been needed to secure silverware.
Spurs have managed 25 major honours since their existence, winning European trophies, FA Cups, League Cups and league titles.
Last season, Ange Postecoglou led Spurs to a Europa League trophy, but many will agree that his team was far from the most complete and best-ever Spurs side.
Tottenham fans select their all-time XI featuring Harry Kane and Gareth Bale
Tottenham fans have now voted their best Tottenham team of all time, as relayed by BBC Sport.
The spine of Mauricio Pochettino’s outstanding side runs right through the team, and although Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen collected plenty of selections, they lost out to Micky van de Ven, with Ledley King always nailed on for a place in any all-time Spurs XI.
Many might debate whether King should have the armband over Harry Kane, but the England captain leads the line in a forward trio alongside Gareth Bale and Heung-min Son.
The team reads: Hugo Lloris, Kyle Walker, Ledley King, Micky van de Ven, Danny Rose; Mousa Dembele, Luka Modric, Christian Eriksen, Gareth Bale, Harry Kane and Heung-min Son.
Spurs talking points after all-time XI reveal
Cristian Romero misses out on the fans’ all-time team, which might be a bummer to some, but other great Spurs centre-backs have also missed out.
Van de Ven is a unique profile, and it is understandable why he is ahead of Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen, as well as Romero.
The Dutchman is the only active Tottenham player at the moment to make the team, and given his form of late, where he scores all types of goals, including the occasional solo effort, his inclusion is less surprising.
