Dave Mackay, a born leader, complete midfield player, creative and hard tackling. He joined an average team and within 3 years we were champions.

What a choice to make, some top top players there, but right now I just want a Bale in his prime

I think that I went for Hoddle the last two years because I felt that we missed someone who could dictate play from the centre and get the ball forward quickly and accurately. The emergence of Bentaleb and Mason has made this less of a priority. I agree with you, I think that what we most lack now is variety and the finished article further forward. Someone who can get the ball and run at the opposition and make things happen. I'm torn between Bale and Gascoigne to fill this gap.

Linekar and Klinsmann wouldn't get any more chances than Soldado does. We need creativity/genius so I voted Gazza.

There's not a single player on that list who - in their prime - wouldn't improve us. But if Hoddle is on the list, then I can't see past his name I'm afraid... for me it'd be like if Pelé or Maradona or Zidane was on the list. Simply put, how could I not pick the best player I've ever seen with my own eyes? He'd improve any team in the world.

Re: One player from history - 20114/15 edition
You cannot possibly discuss Mason and Bentaleb with Hoddle. His decision making, vision and accuracy was miles better than the two mids we have, put together. And that would be with Hod told to use only his supposedly weaker left foot whilst being blind folded, especially if the metric was forward passing.

Klinsmann, a natural goal scorer who could take a game by the scruff of the neck.

This. I think Gazza shades it but not by much...personality is what we also need.

I was not saying that they are on his level (or anywhere close). I was just saying that a ball player in central midfield is less of a priority than in previous seasons.

At the moment I think we need a Gascoigne.

I went for Hoddle. Mason and Bentaleb and good and have potential but we're lacking real top class creativity - RM and NB would also learn massively from him. If I could have a second pick I'd go for Ledley given we dont have a decent CB partnership; am only 36 so never saw Mackay

A few nights ago Jimmy Greaves said that Dave Mackay was the best Spurs player ever, are you going to go against that? Remember Greaves played throughout the 60s with all the greats, and for England too.
Mackay was AMAZING and would also get the rest of the team to play 20% better each, and get the opposition to play 20% worse by breaking their hearts in the tunnel with his juju.
