Ossie Ardiles
Ossie Ardiles
One of the first foreign imports, Ossie Ardiles brought Argentinian glamour to the English game long before the likes of Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano. His decade-long spell at White Hart Lane brought two FA Cups and a UEFA Cup victory for Tottenham. Already a World Cup winner when he arrived in England in 1978, Ardiles enhanced his reputation still further with his performances for Spurs. He formed a dynamic partnership with Glen Hoddle in central midfield which few teams could cope with and did much to pave the way for future foreign stars arriving in England.
