Loved Juergen but he wasn’t a Spur and he wasn’t as good as Greavsie
Some of us find it difficult to accept the heroes of our youth could have been superseded by the modern stars for example, whereas others, particularly the younger generation, refuse to believe there could have been someone better in the past.

JG’s record also includes 2 FA Cups, 1 European trophy and 2 Charity Shields.
HK could end up with a better record but we have to start delivering trophies.

Greaves
If he'd played for Spurs from the beginning, the mind boggles.
He scored 132 League goals in 169 games at a crap Chavs team. He was dropped in that sensational first season there (to stop it all going to his head!!). After 6 weeks, restored to the team, scored 4 goals in a 7-4 win.
A full career at WHL, he might well have got 400 league goals. That would put him way ahead of anyone else.

I remember reading about someone (Hoddle?) not a great goal scorer but a scorer of great goals.Can’t believe this lad hasn’t been given a mention
Harry Redknapp tells hilarious Roman Pavlyuchenko story on I'm A Celebrity
The former Tottenham manager's threat to the Russian striker backfired spectacularlywww.google.co.uk
Redknapp: “I signed this Russian lad Pavlyuchenko," said Redknapp. "I said to him, you need to start playing better or I will pull you off at half-time.”
Pavlyuchenko: “Fantastic, in Russia we only get an orange at half-time."
Well, SuperPav's goals were some of the best I've ever seen. Greaves would always outscore him, but he'd never score those belters
Chris Jones and Gerry Armstrong, got us out of the 2nd division.
Along with Colin Lee who we signed from Torquay United !

Unquestionably Jimmy Greaves.

You might find this article on him interesting - not just cricket also a top tennis player in his day.
Also how the press reported his death - but now almost forgotten as a football player.

Used to love Teddy, one of the cleverest strikers to ever play the game. Keano, almost as clever. For lethalness (is there such a word?!) Klinsman, Defoe and Clive Allen.
But i go with the majority and vote Greaves. Hopefully Kane will surpass him and become the greatest.

Surprised few are mentioning Clive Allen, 49 goals in one season including 33 in the league kinda speaks for itself.
Probably get a game at Newcastle.. carrols there...or in midfield for spam. Hes still fitter that WilshereNot much of a market for geriatric strikers, is there?
I think we need to look beyond the amount of goals the striker scored and consider the player's all round game. A player like Sheringham who had the intelligence to create space and bring others into the game is worth a thousand Linekers IMO even if he didn't score as many goals.
I'm not old enough to remember the Glory Glory days but I've watched lots of old matches, read books and studied the history of the club. I think I'm going to give the nod to Alan Gilzean; neither Greaves or Chivers would have excelled as they did without Gilzean. I think it says a lot about a player if you still need him in your team when he's at the age of 35 or 36. Danny Blanchflower is the only other outfield player I can think of who achieved that distinction. Sheringham aged well but by the time he got to 36 we needed him like a hole in the head. Gilzean and Blanchflower were key players.

This one goes one better. 15 minutes to provide every single Tottenham goal-scorer in the Premier League. I got 62/149:
And he scored goals even tho we had a poor side
I wouldn't be so sure. If Kane has a season where he's fully fit for every game, it wouldn't surprise me if he beats Allen's record. It wouldn't surprise me that much if he beat Dixie Dean's record, to be honest, He's that good.
