David Ginola could play a little bit.
The midfielder’s first taste of English football came with Newcastle United between 1995 and 1997, before he made the switch to Tottenham Hotspur.
Ginola played 100 league games for Spurs during his three seasons at the club and it would be fair to say that the supporters enjoyed watching him.
The Frenchman was an extremely talented technician, but also brought personality to the teams that he represented.
Ginola turned 52 on Friday and Tottenham’s official Twitter account was on hand with a special birthday message for the former France international.
As expected, that led to a number of the Spurs supporters lavishing praise on their former hero, with many claiming that they wish they had him now.
Indeed, Tottenham are currently struggling with injuries and Ginola could probably still do a job in the Dele Alli position until the Englishman returns in March (BBC Sport).
Ginola, who also turned out for Aston Villa and Everton, perhaps would not have the pace or fitness – and that is being kind – to compete at this level in his 50s, but his use of the ball would still be very special indeed.
A selection of the Twitter reaction from the adoring Tottenham fans can be seen below:
