Let us leave Messi and Ronaldo to one side for just one second and pay homage to the original epitome of flair and skill. A French maverick, who graced the Premier League like no other before, and it is fair to say none since.
David represented everything beautiful about football when at Spurs, whilst, on the other hand, Tottenham Hotspur were going through some of their darkest moments, yet still, Ginola was our solitary shining beacon of light. And it is for that reason we pay you tribute David.
"It's a shame the guys in charge at the time didn't think about signing me for the rest of my career at Spurs because I would have loved to do more and give more, for every single person at the club.
"When I left Spurs at 31, I knew it was probably the end, inside me, as a passion. I gave so much passion to the club that I didn't see myself giving as much to any other club." - David Ginola
