Dimitar Berbatov
Bulgarian hitman maintained his fine form in front of goal in his second season at the club in 2007-08 - his performances captured perfectly when he coolly slotted home from the penalty spot in the League Cup Final at Wembley.
'Berba' scored 23 goals in 52 appearances in all competitions, matching his total of last season - his partnership with Robbie Keane again one of the most lethal around.
Named Bulgarian Player of the Year in 2002, 2004 and 2005 and 2007, Dimitar joined us from Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen at the start of the 2006-07 season. A regular at the top of the Bundesliga goalscoring charts, he also helped Bayer to the final of the Champions League in 2002.
His first season in English football proved to be an extremely productive one, with the striker netting 23 goals. He was named in the PFA Team of the Season and won the Player of the Season award from the Spurs Members.
A regular goalscorer for Bulgaria, his goals just missed out on helping his country to the European Championship finals in the summer of 2008.
