I think it might be cathartic given our current slump to remind ourselves of just how brick some of our previous teams/players have been, and that actually, at the moment, it ain't all that bad in the scheme of things.
I propose in goal we choose Bobby Mimms.
Pick players for any position you want - left back, winger, striker, no worries - but Bobby Mimms is in goal.
He was bloody useless, gaff after gaff after gaff, I''m sure some of you remember, and I personally especially remember right at the highpoint of his 'reign' being taken by my Dad to Loftus Rd to watch QPR-Spurs, and seeing the ball somehow slip under his grasp only to not have enough power in the shot to even actually hit the net.
Useless git.
I also want Terry Fenwick in there. How he played in a World Cup is beyond me.
I'm a bit skint these days so only get to the Lane a couple of times a year (if I'm lucky), but in the early/mid 90s when I went every week without fail, he was pretty much the figure of fun for the faithful.
Honestly, he was fudging useless.
My abiding memory of him though isn't from the league, or the FA Cup, it's from a weird tournament we had at the Lane with Real Madrid and Inter Milan.
If I remember correctly it was us playing Real for 45 minutes, and playing Inter for 45 mins, and vise versa, then the winners playing each other in a "final"....for 45 minutes.
It was all a bit weird.
Anyway, we played Real in the final (for 45 minutes) and drew 0-0 so it went to pens.
Anyway, the penalties started, and frankly it didn't matter who won, it was all flimflam, but Fenwick came up for the decisive spot kick, and as I stood on the Paxton I swear the "GHod help us all" cry was was audible, people were laughing that he was 'our hope'.
Fenwick ran up......and skied it over the bar, and we lost the most pointless tournament of all time.
You useless bastard.
So I'm definite on Mimms, I'm pretty sure Fenwick should be in too, but there's probably other contenders in defence.
Worst Spurs 11, lets have it.
