The question of ‘who is the best Spurs player ever’ is a debate that could last for years, but midfielder Harry Winks has thrown his hat into the ring.
Harry Winks on the best-ever player to wear the #thfc shirt: "That is a tough one, it would probably have to be Paul Gascoigne. I never saw him in his prime, but from what I have heard and the videos I have seen he was incredible." [Tubes] pic.twitter.com/Hh7kmAFtLp

The England international has claimed that Paul Gascoigne is the best player ever to put on the white and navy blue of Tottenham despite never watching the beloved national icon in his prime years.
Of course, Winks’ choice sparked debate about who is the best player to play for Spurs, with many fans taking to social media to give their picks for the accolade.
Here is what some Tottenham fans had to say on Twitter…
Gazza was fantastic. But nothing on Hoddle. Not even debatable.

Hoddle no contest

GHod will always be King. He did things not even Gazza could do.

I think Bale was the best ever. Any team in the world would be terrified of him.

Hoddle then Gazza

Does nobody remember Stuart Nethercott???? What a player….

I was fortunate enough to see John White in his pomp and he was something else – same breadth of skill as Hod, but as one ex-player said, Glenn often had to be brought into a game – John always brought himself into it. But for me – always David Craig Mackay.
