I hope the film shows some more of his goals. It’s really hard to find them online. I know the majority won’t have been filmed but we only get to see the same ones. It would be great if they’ve managed to find others that were filmed and unearth them.

There are several people worthy a statue.JG being one.
Would further cement the history of the old place to the new.
Any news on the founders statue that was discussed a few years back?
Heard nothing more about it mate.
Would like to see a statue for Founders (there is still a petition for a Blue Plaque on Buckle's old house on WHL, clearly not progressing), Cameron & McWilliam, Rowe, Nicholson, Burkinshaw, Venables (yeah I know he was a thief) and Ramos (Graham should be a nondescript man wearing a raincoat, holding up the Cup in front of his face so that it can't be seen) all should actually have far greater recognition than they do now (I do thick Nicholson is revered at the detriment of the others listed) as so it's proved it's quite hard to win trophies.
Maybe the museum, when it opens, addresses this?
They needed permission from the owner to put the blue plaque on the house,but couldn't get hold of the owner as he was out of the country.Now it's for sale, hopefully that will change.
The museum will take care of a lot of the history.
I can’t agree that Venables or Ramos deserve much more than a foot note in history and El Tel needs to look at what he took from Spurs before he looks at what he gave us, that’s his horrible legacy. Shame really.
I’d be happy with a statue on each corner of the stadium surround. Nicholson, Hoddle, Perryman & Greaves for me.
I saw him play many times against Liverpool both at Anfield and WHL. He was a bit of a magician . I remember the first time I saw him and thought he's not doing much . Then ball bang goal. To add to his football he seems like a genuinely nice man. He deserves any honours he gets . Good luck to him
I'm more in favour of honouring managers than players, or perhaps that translates to, attending to them first, seeing as other than Nicholson there's literally nothing for any of the others.
It's abundantly clear that Trophies are hard to come by, so why wouldn't Ramos not be recognised for bringing one in?
Agree, Venables one sticks in the craw.
Players tributes are so incredibly arbitrary and subjective, if you give one to one, then why not the other. Nothing wrong with the names you are given but there's another 20 to be added all in some eyes equally deserving and then there are others that almost all of us may have never heard of without a history book for reference.
I'll guess we'll have to wait and see what plays out in the Museum and take it from there.
There would have to be one for Arthur Rowe.
Born and bred in Tottenham too.
IMHO he is our 2nd greatest manager ever.
