Can you name Tottenham’s XI from the ‘lasagnagate’ loss to West Ham?

In May 2006, Tottenham travelled to London rivals West Ham for their final Premier League game of the season and lost 2-1.

Of course, that’s hardly the full story. In pole position to qualify for the Champions League for the first time, Spurs got the sh*ts and Arsenal snuck into fourth place instead. It’s become immortalised by one word: lasagnagate.

Can you remember their starting XI that infamous afternoon?

“I have never experienced anything like this in football before,” Spurs boss Martin Jol said of the food poisoning issue that saw his side severely hampered.

“We would like to have postponed the match for one day but that was not really possible.”

We’re asking you to name the players that made Jol’s teamsheet from that afternoon at Upton Park.

And if this gives you a taste for another challenge, why not try naming Tottenham’s 25 goalscorers in Premier League history?
