Okay, here we go, lemme tell you about this little project I did on German players who’ve played for Tottenham. It was more of a curiosity thing that turned into a bit of a rabbit hole, really.
It all started with me just kinda wondering, you know? Spurs have had players from everywhere, so I thought, “Hey, how many Germans have actually played for them?” So, I just started digging.
- First, I just googled “German players Tottenham” or something super basic like that.
- Then, I went to transfermarkt website, started filtering and digging deep. This site is gold for football stats, I tell ya.
Finding the Names
The initial search gave me a few names I already knew, like Klinsmann, obviously. Everyone knows Klinsmann! But I wanted to go deeper. I wanted the obscure guys, the ones you forget about. That’s where Transfermarkt came in handy. I basically searched for Tottenham players and then filtered by nationality. It took a while, clicking through pages and pages, but I started building a list.
Cross-Referencing (Because You Can’t Trust Everything You Read Online)
Okay, so I had a list. But was it accurate? Nah, probably not. So, I started cross-referencing. I’d take each name and then google “[Player Name] Tottenham” and see what came up. Checked Wikipedia, checked some Spurs fan sites, anything to confirm they actually played a game, even if it was just a sub appearance in the League Cup.
The Final List (As Far As I Can Tell!)
After all that digging and double-checking, I came up with a list of German players who’ve played for Tottenham. I won’t bore you with the whole thing, but it was a surprisingly small number, actually. You’d think there’d be more! Anyway, it was a fun little project, and I learned a few things along the way. Mostly that my internet history is now full of Tottenham-related searches!
