10 Spurs Players Who Threw A Major Strop

Egos can be very fragile at the top, as demonstrated by these acts of petulance.

In a world of Premier League prima donnas, multi-millionaires and whispering agents, there are always going to be tantrums flaring up every now and then. With egos needing to be stroked every second of the day at the highest level, it would seem, some do not take too kindly to perceived humiliation of any kind. Toys can be thrown out of prams and proverbial dummies spat from their mouths, as the class of millionaires emulate antics of the pre-school down the road. Whether it's a frustrated reaction to a substitution, a stamp of the feet and a scream in a bid to force an exit from the club, or simply undermining the manager in front of the team, Spurs have certainly had their fair share of tantrums over the years. Perhaps it's no surprise that managers don't last too long at White Hart Lane when they have to put up with these spoilt antics, with grown men prone to throw a wobbly without a moment's notice. Take a look at the ten Spurs players who threw strops - their behaviour was certainly not befitting that of a professional.
