Tottenham's Player Of the Season: Who Gets Your Vote?

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.

Heurelho Gomes

Gaffes to glory samba stopper Heurelho Gomes had a nightmare start to his career in English football. After a series of high-profile errors, the 6ft 3 Brazilian was already being touted as a huge flop and waste of money. However, that didn’t stop Gomes who has worked his way to some magnificent recent form, culminating in 6 successive clean sheets at home and praise from all quarters. Deserves a nod for his show of character alone.

Luka Modric

Like many players new to English football, diminutive Croat Luka Modric endured a tough start to life in this country. The early season form of Spurs didn’t help much but since the arrival of Harry Redknapp at the club Modric has been sensational. With skill, finesse and no little heart, Luka has become a firm favourite at the Lane, drawing admiring praise from both Redknapp and Sir Alex Ferguson. The tough part now for Spurs is hanging on to him…

Vedran Corluka

Unlike countryman Modric, Vedran Corluka had already played a season in the Premiership at Manchester City. Going about his work quietly and confidently, ‘Charlie’ has rarely (if at all) put a foot wrong and has brought class and style as well as a bit of toughness to the right-back position. He’ll be pushed next term by the returning Alan Hutton, but he’s an outside bet for this year’s Player of the Season.

So, who’s your pick?
