Spurs fans have been discussing some footage of their former midfielder Tom Huddlestone after it was shared on Twitter.
The Spurs Web shared some footage of the 33-year-old on Twitter after it was originally created by Twitter user MBS and it has certainly attracted the attention of plenty of Spurs fans. The midfielder made 209 appearances for the North London club after signing from Derby County in 2005 an spent eight years at the club before joining Hull City in 2013 for around £5 million.
In his time with Spurs, the former England international contributed 16 goals and 30 assists but regularly struggled with injury issues which perhaps cut his time at the club short. Now playing for Derby County in the Championship, it seems as if the 33-year-old remains a fan favourite of a lot of Spurs supporters, based on their replies to the video.
Would you take a prime Huddlestone back in Spurs' midfield?
Yes

Was a phenomenal passer. A bit (a lot) more mobility & he would of been a player to build a team around.

Was so good the quarterback. Injury killed him

He’s got such a weird strike of the ball, gets such speed behind it with such little swing! Amazing on his day.

These Spurs fans clearly hold Huddlestone in high regard and seem to agree that he was a top-class footballer on his day.
What do we think?
The footage certainly includes some quality passes and goals from Huddlestone and you wonder if he would have stayed for Spurs for a while longer had he not struggled so much with injury.
