2. Emmanuel Adebayor

I almost put the Togolese striker at the number one spot just because his actions have caused me to cringe every time I even think of saluting. Still, he narrowly misses out on the top spot on the Tottenham bad apple list.

He’s still an absolute disgrace. He might be the laziest Tottenham player in recent memory and he is still being paid by the club. Any self-respecting Spurs fan should pray he crashes and burns at Crystal Palace as I do.

The real shame of it was that he has so much God-given ability to be a world-class striker. On his day, he’s absolutely unplayable as a centre forward. Unfortunately, the frequency of his ability to perform often rested entirely too much on Juju and other various and sundry dark arts.

He also avoids the top spot on this list, because he did have some memorable contributions to the club prior to Pochettino’s arrival. His run under Sherwood was fun despite the fact that typing that makes me feel dirty. He also stuck it to Arsenal which is something all Tottenham fans have to appreciate.
