Jermain Defoe

Popular striker reached a personal and club landmark in 2010-11, but admitted it was a 'frustrating' campaign.
Jermain became only the 16th player in the club's history to score 100 goals for Spurs when he hit a screamer against West Brom at the Lane in April, 2011.
But he scored only four goals in the Premier League in a total of nine from 30 appearances in all competitions having been sidelined for three months after sustaining an ankle injury on England duty in September, 2010.
Our top-scorer in 2009-10, Jermain made history during that season before joining an elite Spurs club by scoring for England at the World Cup Finals in June.
Jermain became only the third player in Premier League history to score five goals in a match when he achieved the feat in the 9-1 mauling of Wigan in November.
Indeed, he was only the second Spurs to bag five in a top-flight match after Alfie Stokes all the way back in 1957.
That was the highlight of a season where he scored 24 goals in all competitions, helping fire us to fourth place in the Premier League.
That form took him to the World Cup and his winner against Slovenia marked only the sixth time a Spurs player has achieved the feat on World Cup duty for England - following in the footsteps of Jimmy Greaves, Martin Peters, Alan Mullery, Gary Lineker and Darren Anderton.
JD scored three hat-tricks in the season and was on fire from the start, bagging a trio at Hull in August. Those were his first three goal of the season and his last helped us beat Chelsea in April.
The popular striker rejoined the Club in January 2009 following a successful year at Portsmouth.
The England international had made 177 appearances in our colours in all competitions during his first spell at the Club between January 2004 and January 2008, during which time he scored 64 goals following his switch from West Ham United.
After his spell on the South Coast reaped nine goals in 24 games, JD settled straight back in to life at The Lane with three goals in his first five games.
But a foot injury picked up in late January wrecked the rest of his 2008-09 season and forced him out until mid-April.
Jermain did, however, feature another five times before the season was out, scoring one more goal.
The former Charlton trainee began his professional career at West Ham before embarking on a season-long loan spell at Bournemouth, where he scored 19 goals in 31 appearances before returning to London and clocking up 105 games and 41 goals for West Ham.
Jermain is playing under manager Harry Redknapp for the third time in his career, having also played under his guidance at West Ham and Portsmouth.
He earned his first senior England call-up for a friendly against Sweden in March 2004 and has since gone on to establish himself as a regular international.

Giovani Dos Santos

Chances were again limited for Giovani in 2010-11.
The Mexican international made five appearances, three as substitiute in the Premier League and starts in the League Cup and Champions League.
He joined La Liga side Racing Santander on loan in January for the remainder of the 2010-11 season.
There was a positive end to the campaign for Gio as he scored a wonderful goal in the CONCACAF Gold Cup Final as Mexico defeat USA 4-2 in California.
Signed from Barcelona in June, 2008, 'Gio' made an impressive start to his Spurs career during pre-season before an ankle injury early on in the campaign proper halted his progress.
He returned to make a further three First Team appearances - scoring his first goal for the Club in a UEFA Cup tie with Shakhtar Donetsk in February 2009 - before being loaned out to Ipswich Town for the remainder of the 2008-09 campaign.
At Portman Road, Giovani was a hit with Tractor Boys fans as he scored four goals in eight appearances, including a winner against East Anglia rivals Norwich City.
He followed this up by playing a key role in Mexico's success at the 2009 CONCACAF Gold Cup in USA, a tournament in which he was named MVP (Most Valuable Player).
Gio returned to the Club ready for the 2009-10 season, but an ankle injury picked up in a Carling Cup game at Preston early on in the campaign restricted him to just three Spurs appearances before he agreed to join Turkish club Galatasaray in January 2010, where he spent the remainder of the season before playing every game for Mexico in the World Cup.
Giovani first shot to prominence as the star of the 2005 FIFA U17 World Championships for Mexico, as well as the 2007 FIFA U20 World Championships.
The son of a former professional footballer, he progressed through the ranks at Barcelona and made 28 senior appearances for the Spanish giants in 2007-08, scoring three goals, before moving to England.

Emmanuel Adebayor

The prolific Togo international striker is with us on loan from Manchester City for the 2011/2012 season.
Emmanuel moved to the Premier League in January, 2006 from Monaco and has scored 81 goals in 186 appearances in all competitions during spells with Arsenal and Manchester City.
Adebayor spent the second half of last season on loan at Real Madrid registering eight goals in 22 appearances.

Roman Pavlyuchenko

Russian striker ended 2010-11 in style with a double against Birmingham City to secure fifth place in the Premier League and a Europa League play-off spot.
'Pav' scored 14 goals in the season including arguably one of the most important when he lashed home our second goal in the away leg of our Champions League play-off against Young Boys. That made it 3-2 on the night and we eventually cruised home at the Lane.
He featured 39 times in all competitions, starting 25 and scored four goals in the Champions League.
Roman arrived at the Lane in August, 2008 from Spartak Moscow.
It took him just three games to open his goalscoring account in English football with the opener in our Carling Cup third round win over Newcastle in September 2008.
He scored the first goal of Harry Redknapp's reign as manager against Bolton in October 2008, and a week later he scored a last minute winner as we became the first team to defeat Liverpool in 2008-09.
Overall, Roman scored 14 goals in 36 appearances during his first season in English football.
This included a run of scoring in every single round of our run to the 2009 Carling Cup Final, where we were defeated by Manchester United at Wembley on a penalty shoot-out.
He enjoyed a purple patch of eight goals in eight games in February and March of the 2009-10 season.
That spell was the highlight for the striker as a combination of injuries and the form of our other strikers restricted Pav to 26 appearances and only 12 starts in all competitions, scoring 10 goals.
A regular Russian international, Roman hit the headlines in October 2007 when he scored both goals for his country as they beat England 2-1 in European Championship qualifying.
He followed that up with three goals in five games at the 2008 European Championship Finals - including goals against Holland and eventual winners Spain - as Russia reached the semi-finals.
Born in Mostovskoy, Roman started with local club FC Dinamo Stavropol before moving to FC Rotor Volgograd in the top flight in 2000. He switched to Spartak Moscow in 2003 and topped the goalscoring charts in Russia's Premier League in 2006 and 2007.

Steven Pienaar

The versatile South African midfielder joined from Everton in January, 2011.
Steven went straight into Harry Redknapp's starting line-up for our 1-1 draw with Newcastle at St James' Park just days after arriving and went on to make 10 appearances in all competitions.
He started the famous win over AC Milan in the San Siro but his favourite moment was playing in the victory over his old rivals Liverpool at Anfield in May.
Steven originally arrived in England with Everton from Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2007, initially on a season-long loan, and went on to make 132 appearances for the Toffees, scoring 12 goals.
An experienced international with Bafana Bafana, he made his name at Ajax after joining them from their club partners Ajax Cape Town in January 2001.
Steven enjoyed great success during his time in Amsterdam, helping Ajax to the Eredivisie championship in 2002 and 2004 and, in turn, gaining great experience in the Champions League before making the move to the Bundesliga with Dortmund in 2006.

Andros Townsend

The lightning winger is the latest Academy graduate to make an impressive transition to first team football at the Club.
Andros was given his senior debut in our FA Cup Third Round tie with Charlton at the Lane in January, 2011 - and he took his chance with both hands, scoring the opener in our 3-0 win and putting in a Man of the Match display.
A breakthrough had been on the cards for some time for the Chingford-born youngster, having earned rave reviews during loan spells in the Football League over the previous two years.
Having joined our Academy full-time in 2007, Andros quickly established himself in both our Under-18 and Reserve sides over the next two campaigns before heading out on loan to League One club Yeovil Town at the back end of the 2008-09 season, along with fellow scholar Jon Obika.
And the pair played a pivotal role in helping the Huish Park side avoid relegation that season, with Andros earning international honours at England U19 level that summer.
It was enough to convince Leyton Orient to take the local lad on loan at the start of the 2009-10 campaign, and he shone in a struggling side, scoring one of the contenders for Goal of the Season against his former club Yeovil with a fine solo effort.
But halfway through the season he joined MK Dons in their push for the Play-Off places, scoring twice in nine appearances before being recalled to the Lane to bolster our resources as we went for fourth place in the Premier League.
By the start of the 2010-11 season, Andros had signed a new contract until 2013 and it was clear that he was ready to make the step-up to Championship level, doing so with Ipswich Town.
However, he found it hard to hold down a regular place in a side managed by Roy Keane, making just 13 appearances and scoring one goal before returning to the Lane.
It was in January 2011 that Andros' big break came in the Charlton game before he headed to Watford at the turn of the year.
His spell at Vicarage Road was short-lived, but he found his feet at Millwall in March 2011, scoring twice in 11 appearances as the Lions made a late push for the Play-Offs.

Sandro

Brazilian international midfielder made a real impact in his debut season in 2010-11.
He was in and out of the squad in the early part of the campaign following his summer switch from Internacional but his stunning performance alongside Wilson Palacios to help beat AC Milan in the San Siro in February, 2011, made everyone sit up and take notice.
He appeared to cover every blade of grass that night and his energy levels and ability to break play up were a feature for the rest of the season.
That wasn't all though. He showed he had an eye for goal with a strike to remember at Chelsea as we went ahead at Stamford Bridge in April, 2011.
In the end, Sandro racked up 26 appearances in all competitions, starting 17.
He also added to his full caps for Brazil - standing at six in June, 2011 - and was selected for the Copa America, taking place in July, 2011.
Sandro joined us from Internacional in March, 2010 and arrived in London in August, 2010, following the successful conclusion of his former club's Copa Libertadores campaign.
Inter lifted the South American equivalent of the Champions League, after a 5-3 aggregate Final victory over Chivas of Mexico.
And he was straight back into action with his new club, making his debut in our League Cup third round defeat against Arsenal at White Hart Lane the following month, putting in an impressive performance.
It wasn't long before Sandro then made his first Premier League start in a 2-1 win at Fulham the following month.
Sandro made nearly 100 appearances for Inter having come through the ranks at the Porto Alegre club, playing a key role in both the Copa Libertadores success and their second place finish in Campeonato Brasileiro Série A the season before.
He made his senior international debut for Brazil against Chile in a World Cup qualifier in September, 2009, aged 20.
He was also capped on eight occasions for the national team's Under-20 side and was their captain as they triumphed in the South American Youth Championship in Venezuela in February, 2009.

Jake Livermore

The young midfielder made his full debut for the Club in 2010-11 having come through our Academy.

Jake's big moment arrived in September 2010 in our League Cup third round tie against North London rivals Arsenal and he played the first 45 minutes.
The strong, combative midfielder had been around the first team squad for the past season before eventually making his debut as a substitute in our Premier League win at Stoke in March 2010.
He has also gained more valuable playing experience on loan in the Championship at Ipswich Town, where he made 12 appearances and Leeds United, where he played five times between March-May, 2011.
In 2009-10 he made 16 appearances for Derby County, scoring once, and then nine for Peterborough United, also bagging one goal.
A county champion at 1500m, Enfield-born Jake was cross-country champion of the South East in 2000 and joined our Academy full-time in 2006-07 having played 15 times for our Under-18s as a schoolboy in 2005-06.
Injury restricted him to just 10 appearances for our reserves and Under-18s in 2008-09 but he returned to fitness towards the end of the campaign, and on returning to pre-season in preparation for 2009-10, Jake trained and played for the first team before being rewarded a new contract, committing him to the Club until 2011.
On the same day, he scored an equaliser against European Champions Barcelona in a pre-season friendly at Wembley!
Jake has also enjoyed loan spells with both MK Dons and Crewe Alexandra during his time with us.

Danny Rose

The young midfielder guaranteed his place in Spurs history with a stunning goal in the 2-1 win against Arsenal in April, 2010.
Danny literally exploded onto the scene that night.
Making his full league debut, the derby was only 10 minutes old when Arsenal keeper Manuel Almunia punched out Luka Modric's corner.
The ball sailed to Danny who smashed it back with interest from fully 30 yards, his volley flying like a rocket into the net. No surprises that it was later voted Goal of the Season by fans on this website!
Danny had to bide his time for his next appearance but took full advantage of a switch to left-back following injuries to Benoit Assou-Ekotto and Gareth Bale at the end of the 2010-11 campaign.
He started our final four fixtures and particularly impressed in high-profile matches against City and Liverpool. His performances were described as 'outstanding' by manager Harry Redknapp who firmly believes he can made an impact in that full-back role.
His season was capped by being named in England's squad for the 2011 European Championship finals in Denmark, where he featured in all three group matches, starting two.
In-between his derby strike in April, 2010 and the end of the 2010-11 season, Danny spent time on loan at Bristol City in the Championship, although injury halted his spell at Ashton Gate after 17 appearances.
Danny made his breakthrough in 2009-10 with his first Spurs appearance as a substitute in the Carling Cup at home-town team Doncaster, his first start in the FA Cup against former club Leeds before that memorable first league start against the Gunners. In total, he made five appearances.
He joined our Academy from Leeds United at the start of the 2007-08 season.
A regular in our reserves in his first season, Danny suffered an injury-hit 2008-09 campaign, but his career gathered pace after return to action in March, 2009.
After playing four games for both our Reserve and Under-18 sides, Danny earned a loan move to Championship club Watford towards the end of 2008-09, where he made seven appearances.
Such were the standard of his performances in games with Bosnia, Slovakia and Scotland for the England Under-19s in the European Championship Elite Qualifying Round that summer, he caught the eye of Stuart Pearce who took him to Sweden with the Under-21s.
He made his Young Lions debut as a substitute in a 7-0 friendly victory over Azerbaijan Under-21 at Milton Keynes in June 2009.
Danny's first start at that level came in the tournament itself when the Young Lions faced Germany in the group stages on their way to a runners-up spot at the tournament.
On returning to pre-season in preparation for the 2009-10 campaign, Danny trained and played with the first team squad before being awarded a new contract, committing him to the Club until 2013.
Danny also played six matches on loan at Peterborough United between September and November, 2009.

Niko Kranjcar

The Croatian international found chances limited in 2010-11 - mainly down to the outstanding form of Gareth Bale.
But there were still a couple of moments of magic from the wide man.
Niko came off the bench to hammer home a thunderbolt last-minute winner against Bolton in February, 2011 and made it back-to-back winners with another cracker at Sunderland the week after.
In the end though he made only five starts in his 21 appearances.
Niko's excellent first season in 2009-10 was unfortunately cut short by injury sustained in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley in April.
But he made quite an impact in his 29 appearances in all competitions, scoring eight goals including spectacular hits against Peterborough United and Stoke and showstopper against City at the Lane when he beat Emmanuel Adebayor all ends up before slotting home.
Niko joined us from Portsmouth on transfer deadline day in September 2009.
He made his Spurs debut as a second half substitute during a defeat against Manchester United at White Hart Lane later that month.
And although the midfielder had to work hard to win a regular place in Harry Redknapp's starting lineup, he soon established himself as a key attacking player in the side.
Taking up the position on the left of midfield made vacant by a serious early-season injury sustained by fellow countryman Luka Modric, Niko shone.
He opened his goalscoring account for the Club in a 2-2 draw at Bolton Wanderers in October 2009.
And his explosive and direct style of play, cominbed with the ability to find the net from long distance, helped galvanise our form in the first half of the campaign.
He went on to score six goals in 19 league starts before that injury at Wembley ended his season early.
Niko began his career with Dinamo Zagreb, where he made his debut at the age of 16 and captained the side to a league and Super Cup double in 2003.
Niko then joined rivals Hajduk Split in January 2005, earning another championship medal in his first season.
The midfielder moved to Fratton Park in the summer of 2006 and played a total of 100 games, scoring 12 times in all competitions.

Luka Modric

The Croatian international midfielder capped a fine 2009-10 campaign by playing a starring role in central midfield in key wins against Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City as we finished fourth in the Premier League.
Wilson Palacios' suspension saw Harry Redknapp turn to Luka to partner Tom Huddlestone centrally and he did so effortlessly, further underlining his manager's 'world-class' description.
It wasn't all a bed of roses for Luka in 2009-10.
Having started the season well, he suffered a fractured fibula against Birmingham City in August and didn't return until December. He went on to make 32 appearances in all competitions, starting 21 matches in the Premier League, scoring three goals.
Luka completed his move from Dinamo Zagreb in July 2008 and enjoyed an impressive first season in English football.
Luka arrived in N17 off the back of playing a starring role in his country's run to the quarter-finals of that summer's European Championships.
And although it took him a little while to adapt to the speed and intensity of the Premier League, his maiden campaign ended up as proof of his status as one of the best young midfielders in Europe.
Luka came into his own particularly towards the end of the 2008-09 season, when he took up a role on the left hand side of Harry Redknapp's midfield having previously been utilised in more central roles.
His switch to the flank conincided with a run that took the Club clear of relegation trouble and into the hunt for European places.
Having opened his account in a UEFA Cup tie with Spartak Moscow in December 2008, Luka went on to score five goals in 43 appearances during his first season at the Lane, including a memorable winner over Chelsea at The Lane in March 2009.
Earlier in his career, Luka joined Dinamo in 2002 at the age of 16 before being loaned out to Bosnian side Zrinjski Mostar, where he earned the honour of Bosnian Player of the Year in his one season there.
In 2004 he returned to Croatia, again on loan, with Inter Zapresic, whom Luka helped to second place in the league before returning to Dinamo.
Over the next three years he established himself as the team's playmaker and played a big part in the club's three successive league title triumphs and two Croatian Cup wins before deciding to join Spurs.

Rafael Van Der Vaart

The Holland international midfielder joined us from Real Madrid on transfer deadline day, September, 2010.
He was thrust straight into Harry Redknapp's side to make his debut in our 1-1 draw at West Brom 10 days later.
In his third game for the Club he found the net for the first time, from the penalty spot in a 3-1 win over Wolves at the Lane.
Cue an incredible run of goalscoring form that would see Rafa, usually playing just off a main striker, score in each of his next five appearances at his new home, instantly installing him as a firm favourite amongst fans.
Rafa was instrumental in two landmark wins in the Premier League in 2010-11. Firstly, he set-up two goals and scored once as we came from 2-0 down to beat Arsenal 3-2 and clinch our first win at the Emirates. He later scored another two against the Gunners in the 3-3 draw at the Lane.
He then hit a lovely, dipping volley to send us on the way to a 2-1 win at Liverpool - our first league win at Anfield since 1993.
That was his 15th and final goal of a memorable campaign that left many pundits describing Rafa as the signing of the season.
He capped it all by being shortlisted for the PFA Player of the Season Award by his peers.
Rafael came through the ranks at Ajax and won two league titles and a Dutch Super Cup during 141 appearances with the Eredivisie side, scoring 60 goals before leaving for Hamburg in the summer of 2005.
An attack-minded midfielder, he was the Bundesliga side's leading scorer in his first season in Germany before the club lifted the UEFA Intertoto Cup in 2005.
He made a total of 111 appeances for Hamburg and went on to captain the club before joining Real ahead of the 2008/09 campaign.
There he spent two seasons, winning the Spanish Super Cup shortly after arriving at the Bernabeu, and making 71 appearances in total.
Rafael has been capped over 80 times by his country since making his international debut against Andorra in 2001 at the age of 18.
He has represented the Netherlands at two European Championships and two World Cups, including the 2010 Finals in South Africa where he featured five times in the side's run to the Final.

Earlier in his career, Rafael represented Holland at Under-16 through to Under-21 level.
