As the climax of a tumultuous season approaches, we now have the opportunity to look back and reflect upon what has been the usual roller-coaster ride for Spurs’. One of the biggest questions on every fan’s mind will be that of who has turned in the best displays for the club throughout the campaign as the official club Player of the Season is decided.

 

So, using your own Harry Redknapp-esque analytical acumen, pick your star performer out of this bunch.

 

Jonathan Woodgate

 

As Harry Redknapp recently commented, Spurs fantastic recent home form has been built on magnificent defence. At the heart of this effort is Jonathan Woodgate, a solid and consistent performer for the club week-in, week-out. If you are looking for consistency, reliability, resilience and a bit of fire in the belly, Woody is your man.

 

Benoit Assou-Ekotto

 

After a start shakier than the current US economy, BAE has finished the season with some style. With Gareth Bale struggling to find form and fitness, it has been up to the Cameroonian to slot in on the left-hand side of defence. What’s more, with Luka Modric ahead of him often wandering wherever he pleases, it’s been a lonely station for Benoit. If there were a prize for most improved player of the season, he’d win it hands down.

 

Aaron Lennon

 

With only 42 goals all season, attacking has not been Spurs’ strong suit. However, that’s no fault of Aaron Lennon. The wing-wizard has been magnificent this term, standing out even in the dark days of Juande Ramos’ reign, and has been a thorn in the side of many an opposition defence. Like BAE, his improvement on last season’s form has been marked, with a Player of the Month Award and England call-up to show for it.
