It's time for the fifth Issue of the Top Five series and this time we are taking a look at Spurs.
Just in case you don't know why I'm doing the Top Five series competition, it's so I can find the most popular football player, not just on Bleacher Report, but to whoever wants to vote as well.
The competition works like this: the players will be my choice and my decision, and will be selected from the opinions of friends whose football knowledge I respect. Any players that could be added can be sent by comments from the viewers of the article.
I'll do a poll every issue to see who is the most popular player from each club, then at the end of the long article series, I will put all the top names into one big league article.
After I've gathered the favorite players from each league, I will put them into the end article to find out who the most popular player is overall.
I will try not to just include Europe in the competition but also include some of the other major clubs from around the world as well.
The leagues I will look at will be the Premier League, Ligue 1, Serie A, Bundesliga, LFP, MLS, Brazilian League, A-League, Portuguese League, and the Dutch League.
In the first Four issues we looked at Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea and in all four of the articles, people came out in their hundreds to vote and thousands to at least view the articles and for this I thank you as your opinions mean so much.
The Arsenal vote saw Fabregas win the Arsenal poll with 69.6% of the 273 votes, and the article got 3709 views.
The Manchester United vote saw Wayne Rooney take 39.9% of the 248 votes cast by the United fans and the article got 1667 views.
The Liverpool vote saw Steven Gerrard take 59.3% of the 322 votes cast by Liverpool fans, and the article had 2144 views.
The Chelsea vote saw Frank Lampard win with 59.7% of the 216 votes cast by Chelsea fans and the article made 1310 views.
It's now time for the Tottenham fans to step up and vote for their favourite player.
So without further ado, let's start the Tottenham vote.
No player has been ranked and the list is not in any particular order.
Top Five
5.
Name: Aaron Lennon
Position: Right/left Winger
Age: 21
He is the young star at Spurs, and I predict great things for this young man. Great speed and turn and he will be a nightmare for any defender to mark. When Spurs play well he is always in the mix and he is a player who is adored by the Spurs' fans.
4.
Name: Darren Bent
Position: Striker
Age: 24
This season Bent's goals have been a life-line for Spurs, he had to step up when Keane and Berbatov left and to be fair to the lad, he did. Still a long way to go but he is a pleasant surprise this season, for you Spurs fans anyway.
3.
Name: Ledley King
Position: Centre Back
Age: 28
Ledley eats, sleeps and breathes Spurs and is a hard working die-hard defender who really puts everything he has into every single game he plays. The club captain is a fine product of the youth system and a great example for the young Spurs faithful and kids alike.
2.
Name: Jermaine Jenas
Position: Midfielder
Age: 25
Some of the Spurs fans I spoke to said Jenas is the most underrated player at the club and deserves alot of respect. Over the past year or two he has done a lot of growing up, maturing into a fine midfielder who can, at times, change the game. For as far as I'm concerned, we should be seeing him in the England squad more and more.
1.
Name: Roman Pavlyuchenko
Position: Striker
Age: 26
There were so many other players that could of taken this place such as Bentley, Gomes, Bale and Dawson but with the Russian starting to make his waves in the club I thought that he deserved the final place in the article. Such a poacher of goals and always the man in the right place at the right time and if I'm honest with Spurs in the position they are in that's exactly what they need, time will tell for him I'm sure.
Well, the Tottenham list is done, I'll be back with the next team in the series in a day or two.
If you have any suggestions for who you think should be in the top five, then please feel free to leave a comment, or if you just want to vote for one of the five, then please get voting.
As always, I hope you enjoy the article.

Hi Ben,
Good article but I think there are some errors in your article. Most notably, the part where you said without further ado lets start this Chelsea vote. I think you meant Tottenham.

roman gets my vote. i rekcon the russian can develop into a magnificent player, and hopefully he'll start getting on the scoresheet more regularly.
from about 1 month ago

I voted for Ledley King , on his form he is a top centre back and if he and Woodgate can get themselves playing 100% Spurs will have one of the best centre back pairings in the league .

very true mate, thanks for voting Mark

I went for King - he is a very good player and has been very unlucky with injury

It saddens me that often arbitrary lists and rankings get such high view totals when insight and analysis is generally less rewarded. I think Huddlestone is the best player on Spurs.
from about 1 month ago
Right in all fairness, I totally disagree with you about Huddlestone. He needs to be more consistant and dosent addsacly stand out as a choice for the list.

Hi! I am verry sad that Berbatov and Keane were sold! They both were the PERFECT partners on the ground.I say that not becouse I am from Bulgaria. I watch again and again the last two Spurs"s seasons .They were just brilliant. Well, my vote will get two players : Bale will get really great player and Huddlestone! I was in England last December and saw the game between Spurs and Man.City.I was exited, Spurs fans were and still are the greatest fans all over the world.Come on you Spurs!!!

ZOKORAAAA!
Zokora doesn't score/hasn't scored yet, BUT he puts his all in at every game. He makes great runs and you can tell he loves the club because of that. He has never been known to publicly complain about anything. He does his bit.
I think it's a bit early to put Pavlyuchenko in, but still, a flattering article nonetheless! :D
from about 1 month ago
Haha a Gooner being nice to spurs supporter what ever next. As far as Zokora goes, i like him and think there is no dougt that he works his ass of every game but i think we need more timeto see what he turns into, hopfully for spurs an even better player.
thanks for the kind words and vote David

It's crazy how people just flow with the wind, as soon as Bent hits a bit of form he's suddenly tottenhams best player (according to this poll) three weeks ago though he would have come close! I personally think Zokora ans Modric should have made that list ahead of Paulvychenko at least. King is their best player by far he is an immense defender.
from about 1 month ago
Arrr let Bent have his moment it probebly wont last, but Modric has been very averige in most of the spurs games and when they were on the loseing streek he was silent. Zokora is a great player but i want to see a little more goal mouth action from him.
As always thanks for the comments and vote Ricky

I reckon our best player is Luka Modric tbh but his form for us just hasnt proved it. Ledley any day of the week though. Love Aaron too XD Needs to start more often. And we're are gonna fall in love with Gio when he's back. :)

have to wait and see leon, thanks for the vote and comment

I'm a big fan of Aaron Lennon, he's probably the fastest player in the premier league but he is way too inconsistent to be the most popular or best player at Tottenham so I'm gonna go with the man Thierry Henry himself said was the classiest defender in the premier league, Ledley King.
from about 1 month ago
King is a great defender and is at the haert of whatever spurs do, thanks for the comment and vote Amin

Where is modric Huddlestone, woodgate?
anyone of them would have got my wote.
about 1 month ago
i vote Pavlyuchenko i think he will become one of the best strikers in the league in a few season once hes settled. this coming from an arsenal fan i have to naturally assume once he does become one of the best hell goto one of the top 4 like berb and keane did ahha
about 1 month ago
Bale and Modric should be up there

Jenas has been Spurs' best player so far this season.
