Tottenham fans have had the privilege of watching some simply sublime players turn out for them down the years, and when David Ginola was at White Hart Lane he was no exception. The Frenchman dazzled the fans with every aspect of his game, and as football is suspended Spurs have tweeted one of his goals.

The goal in question was a wonderful strike, cut back across the goalkeeper after dancing past a mesmerised Watford defence, and the site of the old White Hart Lane erupting as Ginola ran off in celebration is enough to lift the spirits of many a Tottenham supporter.
It’s been a while since Spurs have had a mercurial wing talent quite like Ginola, and it’s unlikely they’ll ever have one who can match the levels that the Frenchman possessed, but looking back will always bring a smile to the fans’ faces, and this clip is no exception.

@teamginola literally saved us from the worst period Spurs ever had. He is now a god for all Spurs fans. We needed him and he saved us.

The Lilywhites clearly adore Ginola, and this video has provided some needed relief for a lot of the fans.
