60 Best Tottenham Hotspur Players In Premier League History

55. Jake Livermore

Main Position: Centre Midfielder. Time With Spurs: 2008-Present. One-time England cap Jake Livermore is a home-grown talent who has been at the club since he was a schoolboy. Having been loaned out to a plethora of lower league clubs, include Leeds United and Ipswich Town, Livermore has recently established himself as a member of the first team squad. He has made a total of 58 competitive first team appearances, mostly as a substitute, scoring once (against Hearts in the Europa League) and is fondly regarded by the White Hart Lane faithful.

54. Colin Calderwood

Main Position: Central Defender. Time With Spurs: 1993-1999. Scottish international defender Colin Calderwood joined Spurs from Swindon Town in 1993 and went on to make 198 appearances for the club - 162 in the league - scoring 8 goals. He moved to Aston Villa in 1999 and went on to play for Nottingham Forest and Notts County (on loan), but his career was brought to an end by a broken leg suffered whilst playing for Forest. He has since embarked on a coaching career, managing Tottenham's reserve team, then carrying out coaching roles at the likes of Nottingham Forest, Hibernian and Newcastle United. Now 48, he is Spurs legend Chris Hughton's assistant manager at Norwich City.

53. Steffen Iversen

Main Position: Striker. Time With Spurs: 1996-2003. Babyfaced Norwegian striker Steffen Iversen was far more prolific for Tottenham than a lot of people give him credit for. Signing from Rosenborg in his native country at the end of 1996, Iversen went on to score 47 competitive goals for Spurs in 177 games. He was part of the 1999 League Cup winning team and came on as a substitute in the 2002 League Cup final loss. He moved to Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2003, before returning to Norway with Valerenga and Rosenborg, then coming back to England with Crystal Palace, then again returning to Roseborg. Now 36, Iversen retired from football in 2012. He scored 21 goals in 79 international appearances for Norway.

52. Roman Pavlyuchenko

Main Position: Striker. Time With Spurs: 2008-2012. Signing for £14m from Russian giants Spartak Moscow, Roman Pavlyuchenko made a total of 114 competitive appearances for Spurs, scoring 42 goals. 78 of those appearances came in the Premier League, in which he scored 21 of those goals. Spurs signed the 6' 2" centre forward following a series of impressive displays for Russia at Euro 2008, where he was named in the team of the tournament. He started the 2008 League Cup final for Spurs, playing 65 minutes, which Spurs went on to win 2-1 against Chelsea, but his most significant performance for the club was probably when he scored a vital away goal against Young Boys to keep Spurs in the tie in the Champions League play-off round. Spurs had been 3-0 down and Pavlyuchenko scored Spurs' second goal to make it 3-2. Spurs would go on to win the home leg 4-0 and qualify for the Champions League group stages for the first time in their history. Pavlyuchenko earned the tag of 'subersub' at Spurs and now plays for Lokomotiv Moscow.

51. Allan Nielsen

Main Position: Central Midfielder. Time With Spurs: 1996-2000. Joining Spurs from Brondby in his native Denmark for £1.65m following Euro '96, where he had scored for Denmark, Nielsen went on to make 98 league appearances for Spurs and 117 competitive appearances in total, scoring 18 goals. His most memorable game for Spurs was the 1999 Leage Cup final. Spurs won the match 1-0 against Leicester City and Nielsen scored the winner - a last minute diving header. He was subsequently awarded the man of the match award for his performance. Nielsen moved to Watford following Euro 2000, which made him Watford's most expensive ever player at the time. Now 42 years old, Nielsen retired in 2004 having earned 44 international caps and scoring 7 times for his country. His last club was Danish outfit Herfølge Boldklub.
