8. Paul Gascoigne.David Cannon/Getty Images 8. Henry Gascoigne John Gascoigne's final competitive action in a Tottenham shirt arrived in the 1991 FA Cup final. Against Nottingham Forest he was lucky in order to avoid being sent off for an ugly tackle on Gary Charles, and then disastrously hurt himself right after in a similarly reckless attempt at a tackle. Yet even had that match was lost by Spurs (which they won), anybody at the club would have been hard-pressed to have been angry with their gifted midfield. Coaches, teammates and fans alike were aware of the debt they owed Gascoigne in even being at Wembley that morning. Gazza obtained a raw, long-range free-kick against competitors Arsenal in the semifinal, an opening salvo to keep in mind, before supporting instigate the move for Gary Lineker's 2nd. For the duration of Spurs' run the England midfielder have been in sensational form, striking his group through successive rounds. If that pot work was Gascoigne's most tangible contribution to the Tottenham cause, it was the all-round capacity that so mesmerized the White Hart Lane faithful for three seasons that sees him rank so highly here. Gascoigne was (and is still) a of the English game. That he enjoyed his best football during his time at Spurs is some thing to enjoy for the club's supporters. 7. Cliff Jackson The Gareth Bale of his time, except with less penchant for theatrics and wonderfully slipping over, Cliff Jones' courage may serve being an example to his young compatriot. Authorized from Swansea in 1957, Jones got time to settle in North London. Once he did, he did not look back. Evaluations of Bale to Jones aren't wide of the mark. A other Welsh wing wizard with a happy practice of scoring goals, Jones also was a of defenders who could run throughout the day long. With Bobby Smith, Les Allen, John White and later Jimmy Greaves located and prepared, he found suitable marksmen to complete the possibilities he'd usually give. The 1960-61 Double-winning team was full of great talent, among who Jones was valuable enough one of the best to be regarded. The Wales international time, an invigorating existence and time again would produce the products for his club area. Making in 1968, he had continued to lead even as accidents took their toll, and long after a number of his teammates had managed to move on.
