Fake Tottenham player with liabilities (8)
I believe the answer is:
spurious
'fake' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for spurious that I've seen before include "Bogus" , "Forged" , "Contrived" , "Not genuine or authentic" , "False, fake" .)
