David Ginola joined Tottenham Hotspur for a bargain £2.5 million in 1997 after a highly successful spell at Newcastle United. The French winger was part of the Magpies side that finished second in the Premier League. At Spurs, he won his only trophy in English football - the 1999 League Cup and, in the same year, he was named as the PFA Players Player of the Year and the FWA Footballer of the Year. He also scored one of the most memorable goals of modern times, when he weaved in and out of a plethora of Barnsley players before finishing crisply in to the left side of the net in an FA Cup tie - essentially, he was fantastic at White Hart Lane. However, Spurs sold Ginola to Everton in the year 2000 much to the disappointment of the player himself. He said that it was a bombshell to him when Spurs accepted the Toffees offer and it came very much out of the blue for everyone. He didn't really make an impact at Goodison Park and was sold to Aston Villa, where he made even less of an impact, before retiring in 2002.
