The Assou Ekotto debate

The Tottenham left back slot. Brave men have tried but few have succeeded in the mountainous task of making it their own and earning praise. Erik Edman had a valiant crack at it in 2004/05 but his efforts weren't deemed acceptable, even despite that 40 yard cracker at Anfield. No matter who the incumbent is, there always seems to be universal debate over his suitability to the role.
