Spurs have produced world class keepers in Pat Jennings, Ray Clemence, Bill Brown and Ted Ditchburn, so its quite accolade for the French captain who has been in such majestic form this season as the club mount a realistic title challenge.Sheringham also goes for Ledley King and Sol Campbell in the defence in what will be viewed as a hugely controversial selection but the voting is close among the clubs managers, players, fans and pundits in the book Down Memory Lane which is published this week
While Jurgen Klinsman, with whom Teddy played alongside, is ahead of such outstanding goalscorers such as Gary Lineker, Gareth Bale, and even the remarable Jimmy Greaves, in Sheringham’s selection.

Teddy commented: “Lloris: very lively agile goalie and a rock and foundation of the team right now! Perryman: the best right back the club has had in the last 40 years Leader also!!
"Campbell: an absolute colossus when he played for us he played like three players at the back sometimes covering so much ground.
"King: What a player ! Made the game look so easy! The club has had some outstanding centre backs in its time but Ledley has to be in!
"Hughton: he was playing at left back when I was in the Spurs schoolboy team and again made game look so easy classy full back!
"Ardiles: my holding midfielder in this team to intercept and feed the others classy player and great man !! Loved playing for him too.
"Gascoigne: the most talented player I ever played with, skilful,quick with the ball at his feet,strong in possession,hard in the tackle,could score goals and see a pass and make it !!! What a player!!!
"Hoddle: unbelievable technician, pure silk on the ball, so graceful for a big man, scored spectacular goals and the reason I got to games early as a youngster to watch HIM warm up and caress the ball how he wanted to. Magician!!!
"Waddle: another unbelievable player looked so tired....then burst past the full back !! Made goals scored goals and made top full backs look silly!!
"Anderton: there is no way I could have a legendary Spurs team without this man in it !! Absolute class, a little bit like Waddle he looked a bit ungainly but moved like the wind when he needed to but best of all for me he passed the ball exactly where you wanted it and at the right time with the right pace on it.....scored some great goals too!!!
"Klinsmann: the focal point of this team,our team,of any team !! Give him a half chance and he will take it will work tirelessly for the team an absolute class act on and off the pitch oh and a World Cup Winner!!!
Subs:
"Jennings: he was a couple of years before my time to really appreciate him but love the guy and the aura that surrounds him!
"Roberts: a tough tackling hard bastard that will kill me for not putting him in my team!!! Mackay: again before my time but my dad and Terry Venables spoke so highly of him and would have been nice to have played alongside him!
"Alli: he’s not quite the finished article yet but think he has everything to become a Spurs Great!!
"Kane: Harry has everything a top striker needs, can hold the ball up, can run,can drop deep turn and slide others in,can lead the line,works hard for the team but most importantly scores goals... from everywhere, in 6 yard box, headers, tap ins, lon range,curlers,blasters!! A pure goal scorer... for years to come!!!”
