45. Hugo Lloris
Main Position: Goalkeeper. Time With Spurs: 2012-Present. Hugo Lloris is a French international goalkeeper (and indeed team captain at international level) who joined Spurs from Lyon for around
£8m plus add-ons. Widely regarded as one of the best goalkeepers in the world at the moment, Lloris took a while to nudge veteran American Brad Friedel from the Spurs lineup, but is now their first choice keeper and has kept some fantastic clean sheets in his short spell at the club. Effectively playing as a goalkeeping sweeper, Lloris allows Tottenham to play a high defensive line and is sure to become a Spurs legend if his excellent performances continue (he is only at 45 on this list due to his short time at the club, the fact he didn't immediately become a first team regular upon his arrival and the fact he hasn't really achieved anything specific with Spurs yet - but there is no doubt that he's Tottenham's best keeper of the Premier League era in terms of ability alone).
44. Tim Sherwood
Main Position: Central Midfielder. Time With Spurs: 1999-2003. Sherwood joined Spurs from Blackburn Rovers - the club whom he had captained to a Premier League title - for around
£4m in February 1999. The following month he made his England debut - the first of 3 caps as a Spurs player. The combative midfielder made 81 league starts for the Lilywhites, scoring 12 goals, and was a League Cup runner-up with the club in the 2001-02 season. He was a mainstay in the Tottenham team for most of his time at the club but, following a huge argument with the then Spurs manager Glenn Hoddle, he was told to leave and joined Portsmouth. At the age of 44 and following a further playing spell at Coventry City, Sherwood has been retired since 2005.
43. Erik Thorstvedt
Main Position: Goalkeeper. Time With Spurs: 1989-1996. Norwegian shotstopper Erik Thorstvedt was arguably Tottenham's most reliable player in the first four seasons of the Premier League between 1992 and 1996. The big man was Norway's best player at the 1994 World Cup and was an ever-present for his club until the emergence of future England cap Ian Walker. Prior to the Premier League era, he became the first Norwegian to win the English FA Cup when he did so in Spurs' 2-1 victory over Nottingham Forest in 1991. He made 218 appearances in total for Spurs.
42. William Gallas
Main Position: Central Defender. Time With Spurs: 2010-2013. The first player to have ever played first team games for the London trio of Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur, William Gallas
signed for Spurs as a free agent in 2010 after leaving the Gunners and brought some much needed stability to a rock defence. His experience has been invaluable to Spurs over the past few seasons and his performances in their only Champions League run - particularly in the games against AC Milan - were key to their progression to the quarter finals of Europe's elite club competition. He is currently 35 years old and having been a fringe player in recent months, has just been released by the club, but he has been a dedicated servant to them in his 3 seasons at White Hart Lane.
41. Jamie Redknapp
Main Position: Central Midfielder. Time With Spurs: 2002-2005. Signing after 10 years with Liverpool, England midfielder Redknapp joined Spurs on a
free transfer with a couple of games of the 2001-2002 season remaining. The son of the then future manager of Spurs - Harry Redknapp - went on to make 49 appearances for the Lilywhites, scoring 4 goals in the process. Redknapp made a great start to his Spurs career, setting up Matthew Etherington to score on his debut against Everton and scoring himself a week later in a 1-0 victory against Aston Villa. He generally performed well in a white shirt. As with his career in general, Redknapp's stint with Spurs was blighted by persistent injuries, and he left for free in 2005 to become his Father's first signing for Southampton.
