British players to have played the most minutes with team-mate Luka Modrić

Find out the 10 British players to have played the most minutes with team-mate Luka Modrić.

Gareth Bale - 20,392 minutes

Both making names for themselves at Tottenham, Gareth Bale and Luka Modric were destined for bigger things, both joining Real Madrid in 2013 and 2012 respectively, playing for another eight years together in Spain.

Aaron Lennon - 7,047 minutes

Spending 10 years at White Hart Lane, Aaron Lennon was a regular starter throughout Modric's four years at the club.

Michael Dawson - 6,276 minutes

Although a regular fixture in defence during Modric's time at Tottenham, Michael Dawson's time on the pitch with the Croatian was limited due to injury.

Ledley King - 5,493 minutes

A one-club man, Ledley King's 323 Tottenham appearances would have been far more but for his chronic knee injuries that kept him sidelined for much of his career. Despite his fitness woes, Kind was the first name on the team sheet during Modric's time at the club whenever he was available to play.

Jermain Defoe - 5,058 minutes

Returning to White Hart Lane part way through Modric's first season, Defoe was a key member of the side under Harry Redknapp, scoring 18 goals in his first full season back in North London.

Tom Huddlestone - 4,280 minutes

A squad member throughout his time at Tottenham, Huddlestone frequently played alongside Modric in midfield throughout the 2009/10 season.

Jermaine Jenas - 3,555 minutes

Signed as a highly rated youngster from Newcastle, Jermaine Jenas was a regular at Tottenham, but found his game time limited somewhat following the arrival of Modric, having played 32 games in the 2007/08 season, to being loaned out to Aston Villa in Modric's final campaign.

Jude Bellingham - 3,550 minutes

Joining Real Madrid in what turned out to be Modric's penultimate season, the pair won the UEFA Champions League in the first season together, with Modric leaving at the end of Bellingham's second term.

Kyle Walker - 3,540 minutes

Although the pair only played alongside each other for one season, it was the year of Kyle Walker's breakthrough at Manchester City where he played 37 Premier League games before Modric's departure to Madrid.

Peter Crouch - 3,434 minutes

After a number of spells with other Premier League clubs, Peter Crouch joined Tottenham in 2009 where he would line up alongside Modric for two years before departing for Stoke City.
