Experiment for spurs players fan mail.

ziedth

Inspired by the excelent thread in the soccer forum trying the same thing for a change of pace on the Spurs fourm I'm goind to suggest that we try somethig similar for the spurs players.

Basically for those who don't know what I mean, anyone who is interested writes a fan mail to a randomly selected (I'll choose them at random i suppose barring any objections) off the first team squad here.

With a bit of luck we'll have oe going to every player there and then we see who bothered to write back/what they said ETC.

I think it would be interesting to see what happens so if anyone is interested there are 28 players there and I'll take the first 28 people who throw their name in.

If we have less then the 28 i'll knock off the lesser known players or might even not bother with the random selection.

Count me in. Do I just write a letter with some questions I've always wanted to ask a professional footballer and post it here?

Right thats two i'll give it the two weeks and we see who is on. I was going to suggest send them the letter directly and if you wanna post a copy here then by all means. I doubt it would work aswell if we emailed them in so I would think the old fasioned hand written or typed letter is the way to go.

Sounds like a plan...count me in!!! I was gonna ask to get one of the Croatians but then the Irish slang and Croatian understanding of it mightn't be the best!!

Brutal book. Keeps on saying how his kid is the most important thing in his life but fighting then takes over and apparently he never took a hammering either!!

Read it at your own peril would be my advice!!

Seillejet

Count me in too. What way are we going to decide who to write too and what are we requesting. Would we not all get a standard response from the club? Not putting a dampner on things, Id just be surprised if a Premier League club did not have a standard response.

ziedth

Ah ya you have a fair point and are prob right but the lads on the Soccer fourm did get a keeper(I can't remember who) send back signed gloves with a personal letter. Cool your name is down. I'll give it till I get home from work tomorrow and we can sort out who gets who then.

Seillejet

Fair play to the keeper sending his gloves, sort of restores my faith in the game that all the players are not in it for just commercial reasons.

One of the worst if not the worst "hollie" books ever. Don' waste your money! For a real Spurs "hoolie" viewpoint buy "we are tottenham" theres a great chapter in it by a self confessed hooligan. The whole book is a great read.

i love when players do thigs like that. they must forget how much their little jestures mean to the fans. i remember john terry(w#nker n all that he is) a couple of seasons ago when they were chasin utd for the league n they won an away game n he made all the players throw their jerseys into the crowd.

Tanner seemed a bit of a twat in that book, and even worse when he was on Danny Dyers show on tv. Must get the book recommended during the week and have a read.

Count me in as well, that is, if I'm not too late.

Toilet brusead would be one of my least favourite players but you cant deny he is Chelsea through and through and does give a crap about Chelsea and England fans. Reminds me of Terry Butcher a bit. Still dislike him though:D

I mightn't be online when you're doing the lists but count me in as long as I don't get JJ. Even I couldn't lie that much by trying to say I admire him etc.

Ok that makes 9 of us, that is three each when I cut out O'Hara for obvious reasons and the keeper Walker. I was thinking we should prob include Harry in this too so unless anyone doesn't want too that is three each. If you can't do it there is no prob at all just post up here and hopefully someone will send one.

it would be nice to get every player one. So without further delay our draw is as follows:

Ziedth: Jenas, Rose, Dawson

SpurSi:Corluka, Defoe, Livermore

froosh69: Gomes, Assou- Ekotto, Huttonn

Antisocialiser: Dos Santos, Pav, Bale

everdead.ie: Huddelstone, Crouch, Modric

keane=cock: Keane (I couldn't make that up), Bassong, Kranjcar

Manic087: Harry, Bently, Lennon

Seillejet:Woodgate, Cudicini, Dervite

ruiseal: King, Naughton, Palacios

I guess we can give it the week to swap and write out letters and if can all try send them around the same time. mybe wednesday or thursday next week

Without me bothering to google would anyone have an idea what the best address would be? Ronan?

I guess we should not mention the expierment in the letters to try and keep it fair.

If you get anything back i guess take a pic anf put it up.

Hop everyone is happy enough with their picks they where taken out of a hat as squad numbers. Good luck everyone.

Get in...Harry and Azza. Whoo-hoo!!! Oh and Bentley. Not sure what the hell to write now though!!

Mine are already on their way to:

Tottenham Hotspur Football and Athletic Club,
Spurs Lodge,
Luxborough Lane,
Chigwell,
Essex,
London IG7 5AB.

I think the players spend more time at Spurs Lodge than they do at White Hart Lane.
