The 30-year-old only stayed at White Hart Lane for one season but what a year it was! Following his £2 million signing, Klinsmann scored 30 goals in all competitions including 20 goals in 41 Premier League games for what was, at the time, a struggling Spurs side more at home with relegation scraps than Champions League finals. He was named the winner of the inaugural Football Writers’ Association Footballer of the Year award, selected in the PFA Team of the Year, and was runner up for the Ballon d'Or. The German international’s quest to play at the highest level saw him leave for Bayern Munich and the chance to play Champions League football. However, he did return to the North London club for a second spell on loan in 1997/98 season further cementing his place in Spurs folklore by scoring 9 goals in 15 games to ensure the club's Premier League survival.
