Greatest XI of all time - Tottenham Hotspur?

Wing-backs

Left: Cliff Jones

Cliff Jones was the best left-winger in his time

This might not be the best position to play the man dubbed as the most naturally gifted player in Spurs’ double-winning team back in the 60s, but we have to make-do whilst also making sure that Jones gets to play in his preferred left-flank.

The original Welsh wizard, Jones was among the star players that helped Spurs win the double in 1960-61. He was regarded as the greatest left-winger during his time and is still is among the most respected figures in the game.

Right: Danny Blanchflower

Danny Blanchflower was regarded as Spurs best ever by The Times

On the opposite flank, it will be another Tottenham legend that will be partnering the highly talented Cliff Jones. The Times ranked Danny Blanchflower as the greatest player in the history of Spurs – and there is a reason for that.

He was one of the members of the great double-winning team and always believed that winning alone isn’t the most important thing, but doing it in style also matters, wording it beautifully in one of football’s best quotes...

"The great fallacy is that the game is first and last about winning. It is nothing of the kind. The game is about glory, it is about doing things in style and with a flourish, about going out and beating the lot, not waiting for them to die of boredom." - Danny Blanchflower
