Spurs' 10 Best Set-Piece Experts Of The Premier League Era
10. Benoit Assou-Ekotto
Time At Spurs: 2006-Present. Set-Piece Specialty: Indirect Free Kicks, Direct Free Kicks. While Benoit Assou-Ekotto might not necessarily have been first choice for Spurs when it came to set-pieces, that was more due to the fact that, when he was playing, there were more established set-piece takers at the club - a number of whom will be coming up later in this list. However, the fact is, he could really take a decent direct free kick - as demonstrated in his "how to" video on the subject - and he did actually take a couple when he got the chance. He would also be the man designated to loft the ball forward from his own half in the event of an indirect free kick or one that was simply too far out to shoot from - but he'll never get the chance again, as he's out in the cold at White Hart Lane, having disgraced himself with a headbutt at the 2014 World Cup.
