Slipping in seamlessly at right-back position is, by quite some considerable distance, Mr. Dean Austin.
Austin’s 154 appearances for Spurs represent something of an unquestionable shrine to the staggeringly average state of affairs at White Hart Lane during the mid-nineties.
A game built solely upon cushioning the ball before launching a howitzer of a long ball up field; if Michael Dawson gives you a headache, than watching Austin play would have probably inflicted a debilitating illness.
Keeping possession obviously wasn’t Austin’s strong point, although looking back, it’s actually quite difficult to think what he did do efficiently.
