Harry Kane and our all-time top goalscorers

[mawspurs]

Harry Kane's goal at West Ham moved him up to 175 in all competitions and up to third in our all-time goalscoring list.
In doing so, the striker and Academy graduate moved ahead of all-time great Martin Chivers, who scored 174 goals for the Club between 1968-1976.

Lived with this list all my life without much threat to it changing. Incredible to be living in the times of one of our all-time goalscoring Legends.

I've cracked it! To be one of Spurs top three scorers, three factors have to be met:

1) Must be English

2) Must have a two-syllable first name ending in a 'y' (Bobby, Jimmy, Harry...)

3) Must have a one-syllable surname (Smith, Greaves, Kane...)

Robbie Keane didn't make it because he only meets criteria 2 & 3. Jermaine only met criterion 1; Berba didn't qualify.

Why do you think we call Martin Chivers, 'Big Chiv'? It's because we were trying to fit him into the mould. But it didn't work. He'd never fit the formula.

From now on, we have to change by deed poll all our strikers names to fit the mould and also get them British citizenship. Believe me, if Roman Pavlyuchenko had requested asylum and changed his name to Ricky Pane, he'd be at the top of the list right now with 700 goals in 67 appearances. Berba should have been playing under the name 'Davey Banks'.

The truth is out there!

I think that's enough weed for one day there, Rez.

This stuff is am-aaaaaaay-zing!

He must have Greaves in his site. 89 goals away. Incredible really.

Greaves scored 266 goals, so he's 91 ahead of HK, but to think that Greavsie's record could conceivably be broken takes some thinking about.

My maths is so bad lol ?

 

[FITZ]

Anyone think he’ll overtake Smith this season? 24 goals required?

Danny Rose and Harry Winks need to start knocking them in pronto.

Got it - must explain Andy Booth

And Darren Bent!

And Darren Bent!

Darren doesn't end in a 'y'.

You see? You've got to follow the formula, people!

Ah, little did you know Darren was his second name, his first name was Barry, but Barry Bent sounded too weird so he changed it to Darren!

What a foolish thing to do - he could have been a winner!
