Picking a Best Tottenham Hotspur XI Using Only 1 Player of Each Nationality
- Updated: December 2, 2016
Want to avoid feeling old? Do not look at how a football club’s playing staff has changed over 16 years.
Going back over Tottenham Hotspur’s, it was extraordinary to realise just how many players have passed through. In the grand scheme of things, even the most significant experiences involving some of the club’s bigger names were ephemeral.
One of the biggest changes over the early years of the 21st century has been how an increasing number of nationalities have been represented at the club. And with that in mind, how would a truly international Spurs side look?
Criteria and Formation
Each country can only be represented by one player. In cases of dual citizenship, only the country the player represents at international level will be considered.
It has to be a workable formation, so no 2-3-5. In this case, we have a 4-3-3/4-3-2-1 lineup, and we want to keep it current, so the players have to have represented the club since 2000.
Goalkeeper: Hugo Lloris, France
With 55%, this fantastic clawback on the line from Hugo Lloris just edges your vote!
