The most obvious of these belongs to Tottenham Hotspur, yet to win anything in Ange Postecoglou‘s second season despite the Australian’s bold promises.
Various versions of this listicle have emerged over the years, but these feel the fairest criteria to judge it by: only permanent Spurs players (so no Carlos Vinicius), no-one who won in 2008 then went on to similar greatness elsewhere (even Gareth Bale‘s five Champions Leagues) and players have to have formally left (no, really, Bryan Gil’s Spurs contract expires in 2026). Only club honours count too.
