Goal ace Gary rates our current strike force

Gary Lineker knocked in 80 goals in 130 appearances for Spurs.

Gary Lineker knocked in 80 goals in 130 appearances for Spurs.

So when the master-blaster talks about the art of hitting the back of the net, he's certainly on safe ground.

Lineker, these days a familiar figure on Match of the Day, is convinced that we have some of the best strikers around. And, in the current issue of hotspur, he gives a detailed analysis of all the combinations currently available to manager Harry Redknapp.

"It's better to have too many options up front than too few," he says. "The return of Defoe and Keane has left Tottenham in a position of unparalleled strength.

He adds: "Spurs now have tall strikers, small strikers and players who like to come deep as well as those who push on. That provides a lot of permutations to pick and choose from."

'Links' takes a look at our individuals and then at how they combine. It's all positive and fascinating stuff...and it's all in our new-look official magazine hotspur.

As Lineker concludes: "It shouldn't matter who you play alongside or around - decent players have good interaction and...the art of striking is very much an individual one."
