There's a running theme at Tottenham Hotspur in recent decades that often it's the manager who isn't the first choice among the fans and often the club who turns out to be the person who makes the most impact.
For every Antonio Conte, Jose Mourinho, Juande Ramos, Andre Villas-Boas and Jacques Santini and even the Spurs midfield great Glenn Hoddle there has often been someone who came in under the radar and had a far bigger impact than the chosen ones had. Ramos could of course claim that despite his dreadful time in the Premier League, he did at least bring the club their only trophy in the past 24 years.
However, in terms of the ones who pushed the club forward on and off the pitch it is often those second or third choices asked to help clear up the mess left by others.
